If that's the best that you can do, you may as well shut up shop and bugger off home. Bland pitiful nonsense. Only the inclusion of Siouxsie makes it in anyway interesting. Bloody kids.

Foo Fighters. Radiohead. The Strokes. The National (best live). Glasvegas.

Pathetic. Shameful. Woeful. In what way do Kaiser Chiefs provide innovation in sound? Best video Jessie J? Do me a fucking favour. Classic song goes to Snow Patrol for Chasing Cars, a song that has rightly been forgotten by most of those who call themselves music fans because is it is REALLY FUCKING DULL and was released over FIVE YEARS ago! Q, you should be ashamed, very ashamed.

Sorry but Nirvana or Eminem definitely should have one the most influential act of the last 25 years. without a doubt.

Finally Q have recognised the unique, tremendously talented Queen! About bloody time too! Regardless if one is a fan or not, you can not deny the fact that this is one group worthy of such an award. I admire the fact that Queen always did their own thing and were a real band who could not only make absolute timeless masterpieces in the studio, but who could also walk out on stage and show what live music is all about. True, untouchable masters. All bow down.
