    I like Oasis, but I know the hate for them. I can't stand Radiohead so this round was easy.

    I like Oasis as well. I have several of their albums, but compared to the others, I had to vote them out. I would have liked to have seen the Cure on this list. But I know the OP can't include everyone.

    I was actually planning something like that for American bands next, but your idea is better than what I was thinking... so if you don't mind I will do that type thing next.

    would have liked to see The Kinks on this list.  One of the most underrated bands ever.

    Good point!  They really are underappreciated!
    The poll set up on this site only allows (what, I think 9?) so many options.  Would love to see that change and I'm sure MedozK would have expanded the list were it possible.

    Definitely. Polls limited to 10 choices really makes me make choices.. I always go away with "dang I should have included" on almost all the ones I have done.

    Not you fault and no complaints.  I always dig your polls- good job!

    I'm still trying to figure out who the 3rd best band is, because The Beatles and Zepp have 1-2 locked out.

    When I posted that Pearl Jam should come out to the Oasis intro song "Fuckin' in the bushes" when playing Manchester, the thread was locked and I got warned for being a troll by a moderator. Never got an explanation about what would be trolling about that opinion. 

    It's the most hyped up intro song for a live act of all time. Of all time. I stand by that Pearl Jam should come out to it when playing Manchester. Radiohead aint got a hyped out intro like this:

    Liam version:

    That is Oasis' thing though.  I wouldn't expect Oasis to walk into Master/Slave
    I wouldn't expect Liam to do it at least:
