"Thath ridiculuth" as Daffy Duck would say.

U2 is 2? *
REM is 4? (I like REM but still...)
Robbie Wlliams is 5? (Ex-squeeze me?)
The Verve is 8? (Good song, but c'mon...)

I guess the boneheads who made the list never heard of the Beatles, or Pink Floyd, or Elvis, or any of a dozen other better bands.

*U2. Pffffft. Corporate rock at it's very best with Mr. Sunglasses Bono hobnobing with any politician and sucking up to every camera he sees. Good grief!
