Boring dinosaur list if I ever saw one.

Yeah, well, this IS Classic Rock. The real surprise appears to be the such high positions of Sex Pistols, Bowie, Clash... even, shock horror, Stones & Beatles ... Just take a look at their top 100 rock albums of all time from Christams 2001 (see seperate post), when NONE of these normal classically acclaimed artists were included ! I'm actually even surprised they missed The Queen Is Dead.

uhm...isnt ac/dc australian?

'uhm...isnt ac/dc australian?'

That was a big discusion in the issue. They were born & formed in the UK so CR decided it was OK to claim them as 'Poms'.
