valuable work, sometimes thankless, and undervalued by society at large

I think y'all are sleeping on the quiet genius of this: Every type of music was eligible: from the Beatles to Beethoven; from country to classical; from pop to hip hop. It was the most ambitious survey ever undertaken.

i agree about the lack of Clapton but don't take it out on Miles Davies, he was a huge influence on guys like Nik Kershaw and Level 42.

another common criticism of these polls is that the dance and electronic genres aren't recognised, but bands like radiohead and the killers have been inccorporating dance influences into soundscapse that work at home as well as in the club

Unfortunately Miles Davis never had the chance to work with a bass player as gifted as Mark King, who knows what he - they - might have achieved
