*this is the correct order in appearance order for these two but in number order they are the other way round - i think that’s a mistake though ‘cos there’s a couple of earlier mistakes, in the issue, with the number order.

I got my hands on the next issue of Classic Rock, where they presented the readers poll together with the top 50 of the critics poll. Thanks to you Charlie the list is now complete!
