Pos Artist Total #Votes 22 The Clash 19 6 23 The Fall 19 6 24 Morrissey 19 5 25 Simon and Garfunkel 18 10 26 Marvin Gaye 18 8 27 Yes 18 5

Yes, @bennyboy roars onto the scoreboard as he picked the top artist in this section: Combat rockers, The Clash. As far as I can see, there’s only two voters who haven’t had one of their picks appear yet: @denislawsbackheel and @KnaresboroughBlue.
The last batch of artists before we hit the top 20 (well, the Top 21) and I can already hear the cheering in some quarters.
Another couple of Mancs with The Fall and Morrissey. Say what you want about Morrissey, but for somebody with a voice that sounds like Bobcat Goldthwaite (Zed from the Police Academy films), he’s done alright for himself.
I know I joked earlier in the thread about discarding all votes for The Smiths, but I wouldn’t do that. I thought that it was fairer to round all the points up for The Smiths and Morrissey and put them here. I wonder how fans of The Smiths are feeling? Heaven knows they’re miserable now.
Marvin Gaye is the top soul artist in the list and is joined by 60s folk duo Simon and Garfunkel. Prog rockers Yes saw strong enough support to lift them to 27th place.
Exactly what I just posted Bill. Fuck sake they are lower than the Fall.Morrissey higher than Yes.
Is this some kind of alternate universe where everyone's gone insane ?
but girlfriend in a coma is lighthearted? ; -)I find radiohead depressing
I found out last week I heard it through the grapevineMy faith in the forum has been restored.
Depends how fond of your girlfriend one is.but girlfriend in a coma is lighthearted? ; -)
It's a kicker conspiracyYes at 27? Dear lord in heaven. Lower than the fall? Good god.
the world and especially BM has gone mad.
Queen. Live Aid saved their arse.
A band on their knees..... and yesterday's men. Then shown live around the world and their career was salvaged.
And the twats were forgiven for breaking the cultural boycott of South Africa (as were Status fucking Quo).
In fact... if Status Quo are in this list I shall resign as a Mod and delete my account from this forum.
