notable absences, I think:
THE ROLLING STONES. COME ON. Kate Bush, Radiohead, The Smiths, The Clash, Dusty Springfield, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols, The Prodigy, Brian Eno...

I assume they have to be British (although what U2 are doing there IDK)

The Cure
The Kinks
Joy Division

David, what about The Manic Street Preachers.. no? :D

As much as I hate them, Coldplay. They have had massive world wide success and if the Spice Girls can get it after being around for 4 years then I suppose Coldplay deserve it.
