Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, former Oasis man Liam Gallagher, Morrissey and John Lennon are among those who've made the last eight in NME's search for the Ultimate Musical Icon of the last 60 years.
As well as the above, Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain have also made the cut, which began earlier this year with a shortlist of 60 people.

Now I love Alex/the Monkeys, but in no way should he be on that list, not sure Amy should either
