William Beckett, one of the participants in the normblog rock poll, writes in with this reaction:
What a shock! The Clash ahead of The Ramones? Where is your readers' sense of history? No Gene Vincent, no Carl Perkins? Pink Floyd got more votes than Little Richard? Jeez, what do these people think Rock and Roll is? More than half the bands listed routinely use four or more chords in a song. That's not Rock and Roll, that's opera. Did they think this was a classical music poll?
