Voting is now closed. I can now revealed leaving the competition in 9th place with 28% of the vote is.......


The Killers!

Brandon Flowers and the Killers managed to survive the Bottom two twice but were unlucky this third time. They do finish a respectable ninth place and will sing us out with the fantastic:

New members join and some leave so that might tweak the results. Not just UK groups, the Beach Boys were in the original list.

Hey Gemma, this is the second time doing it, did an initial poll where there was a Top 15, and this years Top 15 had 7 different bands than last year.

Also this years Top 8 has 2 bands that werent there last year, The Kinks and The Smiths, so result may or may not be different but the Beatles would be the faves as they won last year!

Nirvana, REM, The Beach Boys and The Killers were all in Top 15 but were voted out in the last few rounds.

a) Different FMs giving different opinions each time - for example, one year they may never have listened to The Smiths and therefore wouldn't vote for them (or give them the lowest score each time) but a year on they may have listened to them and they've become their favourite band. As a case in point, the list this time had some bands on it that didn't feature last time, and vice-versa.

b) The post above yours mentions The Killers.

I remember on another message board I used to go on a few years back, we did a Greatest Band Tournament. 100's of bands, going through round after round after round, went on for months....

....for The Beatles to win it
