Six of my 15 artists had women in the bands at some point during their existences or always. In my top 50 I'd bet its near half the bands I like most.

I think this is correct from punk / post punk and Madchester and influenced bands that followed, where as 60's bands (Hollies, Hermits, Dreamers, Mindbenders - we can even throw the Bee Gees in there!) could all carry a tune and harmonies.Hmmm. Of the Manc bands I know on this list, this is quite correct. I never thought about that before. None of the fuckers can sing.
Dare I say it..... Mick Hucknall has a great voice even if the songs aren't to my taste.
And David Gray was born in Sale.

Stones @3 perfect for me. The band has an amazing range of music. Love this one (yeah it's semi-disco - love it nonetheless).

The Kinks number one is arguably more Brit-tribal than the Smiths being top 2 is Manc-tribal.
Just kidding :)
Not a bad list at all -- there are a couple of bands I haven't heard, but I like the variety and mix of new and old.
My original list was confined to two continents and only had bands whose debut records were 60s-90s (though I had a number of 90s bands on there). This might be an interesting exercise.
The asian bands I doubt anyone would like my time spent living in thailand though had me listening to many a local band plus Carabao are the same band that launched the enrgy drink that sponsored the cup we love so much
As for Rolling Blakcout CF probably the best indie band to come form OZ recently bit or an 90s vibe and early REM mixed with some jangly pop

Can’t argue with the Stones’ longevity and all that but I’m not a fan. Nothing of theirs in my collection, happy enough if they come on the radio. I don’t listen to the radio much

For a future poll.....
It has been noted about lack of female and US artists but not seen anyone comment yet as to how white the top 100 has been.
Just 5 non white names in there (four and a half if you include The Specials)
Would.love to see a.non white poll as even though I am (was) a typical 80's white indie kid there is still a love of Motown, dub and soul in me, just not in my top 15 - and a Manc band can still come on top with Sweet Sensation!
Yeh, my top 15 was entirely white, despite my being a big fan of a whole host of ’black‘ music genres - Motown, 60’s soul, Northern Soul, Ska, Reggae, Disco. Part of that discrepancy is born of the impression (right or wrong) that much of Motown and Northern Soul was singles orientated. I’ve got odd studio albums by Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and one or two others, but they’re few and far between compared to the many compilations I’ve got from those genres, and to the multiple album recordings of The Beatles, The Stones, Elvis Costello, Bowie, The Jam, Lucinda Williams, Nicole Atkins, Dylan and even artists like The Smiths, Teenage Fanclub and Abba.

For my own sanity, I've just checked the final scores for The Smiths and The Beatles a 3rd time, and I am now confident that Excel has got things right (just heading off any demands for a recount tomorrow morning - the recount has been done - TWICE!).
It's that close. The lead changed hands multiple times on the last three days of voting.
