I have based mine almost entirely on their contribution to the history of Alterntive music an their influence on what followed. With some bias...

10 of my 20 favourite artists/bands

What an impossible task! I just tried to do this but I couldn't even get it down to under 20

6 My Bloody Valentine

5 The Cure

4 The Fall

3 Pixies

There, took a while to take it down to 10. Any way of getting Foo Fighters out of the Hall of Fame though?

10 points Radiohead

09 Blur

08. Arctic Monkeys

07. Pink Floyd

06. Joy Division

05. The Smiths

04. The Velvet Underground

03. R.E.M.

02. The Cure

01.point Muse

 

Argh, this is so difficult. Narrowed it down to about 20 trying to be objective and ignore personal taste, then took out a few and tried to order the rest based mainly on personal preference. Hard.

 

10 Bruce Springsteen

09 The Smiths

08 Queen

07 The Clash

06 Joy Division

05 Pink Floyd

04 The Velvet Underground

03 Jimi Hendrix

02 Radiohead

01 Muse (had to have one modern era band other than Radiohead and I'm convinced they'll have the biggest legacy)

 

R.E.M. and Cure were the last two I cut.

Hmm. Not sure really. Part of me says they were voted in fair and square and if you didn't vote last year you can't complain. The other half says they don't really warrant being but it isn't for me to decide.

 

I guess there'd have to be a mass outcry to consider it

I was just kidding ;)

 

Mind you, they have been churning out stuff for nearly 20 years. Just nothing spectacular.
