Soooooo I must concur with you and choose again. Which is a bit difficult as I can't think of one at the moment. I'll come back when I've had a thought.

Oh, would you accept Rod Stewart and the Faces? - a good band (the Small Faces) ruined when the lead singer left (Stevie Marriot) and a second rate pub singer brought in?
I am trying not to be pedantic; but, a single artist of any genre doesn't constitute a band. The bag of worms is how you define 'rock' There are a gazillion nasty and traditional rock bands out there and easily enough to fill the 100 needed for this poll - but is Oasis a rock band (just like you question Floyd on the other poll)?

At this point I will simply ask this. At this early stage, would it be better to change the poll to simply 'worst band' and avoid any disputes over a bands 'rock'ness? Views please.
