Pink Floyd: greatest rock act of all time! |

After a memorable year, seeing Pink
Floyd reunited with Roger Waters at the Live 8 concert in July, and
induction into the UK Music Hall Of Fame in November, rock fans have
now voted the band the "greatest rock act of all time" in a new survey,
which is broadcast from today.
|
5-piece Pink Floyd, early 1968 |
Led Zeppelin came second,
followed by The Rolling Stones, in the 10th Planet Rock poll.
In the
survey of 58,000 rock fans, the digital radio station's listeners also
named the 1970s the golden age of rock, followed by the 1960s, the
Spandex years of the 1980s and the 1990s grunge decade.
Nicky Horne, a presenter with
Planet Rock, started counting down the results this morning at 9am, and
the presentation of the results will be spread over four days.
He said:
"Pink Floyd are one of the greatest bands in the history of rock and
roll."
Here's the top ten:
- Pink Floyd
- Led Zeppelin
- The Rolling Stones
- The Who
- AC/DC
- U2
- Guns 'N' Roses
- Nirvana
- Bon Jovi
- 10 Jimi Hendrix
In a seperate poll, Pink Floyd
appeared no less than seventeen times in the Arrow Rock 500 List in the
Netherlands. The poll is the only Dutch all time classics list where
you can vote for anything you want (no predefined selections).
The Floyd are the only band to
appear twice in the top ten, this year gaining the coveted number three
spot with Comfortably Numb (last year's number five). Traditionally,
there are two songs which have ALWAYS got the top spots (Stairway To
Heaven at number one, followed by Child In Time), so the fight is
normally for the position that follows!
For more information on the poll, visit www.arrow.nl. Our thanks to Nick Spekkels for the info.
