-4 T. Rex
-3 The Jam
-2 Van Morrison
-1 The Smiths
I hope Joy Division is able to hold on. Also, I find it odd Elvis hasn't received any hate yet. I think he took an early exist last time the game was played.
-4 Elvis Costello
-3 T. Rex : Cosmic Dancer is a wonderful song and I would agree with Moonbeam that the band is a bit underrated on AM (Electric Warrior not in the top 10 for 1971 on the 70s poll was a bit of a surprise for me). Still, as underrated as it can be on AM forum, it should not be either on the top 50 remaining artists.
-2 The Jam : kick them out... hehe....
-1 Marvin Gaye
