No kidding. Bolan et al were awesome. A crazy omission indeed. Well, we need to recognize that this is a relatively small and isolated poll that clearly wasn't thought out very well, as is often the case with these things. Hardcore Kinks fans are networking and pushing hard to cinch this, so it hardly counts as any sort of real indication of popular tastes. If such a hollow victory is so important for them then all we can do is smile and move on. It is funny as Hell.
I'm all for them winning; the Kinks deserve more recognition, not that a victory here will get them very much. But if a member of your local Kinks Kontingent gets a little too noisy and obnoxious while doing his victory dance, just throw a copy of this at him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_record_sales,_worldwide_charts  |
