yawn

mike skinner ahead of nick drake?
this list is laughable.
and i dont think van morrison should be allowed on the list owing to the fact that (having met him at work) he is a completely obnoxious old cunt.

What a ridiculous list

Scout Niblett and Andy Falcous are missing. Falco needs to be in that list.

I would put the Bee Gees as well as George Michael in the top 10.

Have you missed out Eric Clapton and Andrew Lloyd Webber in your list of song writers?

Boring and Uninspiring list

However I am impressed that Stuart Murdoch was included.

"Erm, yeah, he's just not as cool as Lennon, ok?"

coldplay? Noel Gallagher? above Nick Drake?

Bowie should be higher too

No offense but Hot Chip shouldnt be on this list whilst Jarvis Cocker and Gruff Rhys aren't.
