Once again the British skewed view speaks for all but asks none.
Where exactly did this poll scout for it's target class? I don't remember
seeing this anywhere asking for my opinion!
The Beatles are not quite the renaissance greats these age, gender and
demographic-bias polls like to portray. That's not to say the British public
are completely intelligent when it comes to music - I mean look at the top
chart choices every week for proof of that.
What an embarrassment.

U2 came in 3rd on this one. Each poll is different. I wonder why?
