Ouch! I hated having to eliminate The Roots so early, because they were against U2 in my second round.
And strangely, Pearl Jam made it all the way to my finals. I had a tough time picking them over Wilco, but I'm a sentimentalist for the mid 90's and Pearl Jam's middle period creative burst.
U2's gonna win this in a landslide.

That was a fun exercise in futility. I think U2's gonna win that competition.

Listen to "Stankonia" atleast, I quite like em...............
As do I.
Listen to The Love Below (the whole CD, not just Hey Ya) and tell me that's not a band. 
But that's for another thread I suppose.

probably because Nirvana and Zep aren't active bands anymore...
its the 'Best Band In The World (At The Minute)' competition really isn't it?
really don't understand how Coldplay can be that far down, to me these are far and away the only two truly global star bands (deservedly). 'T'ain't like it used to be.............

kiss released a live album (alive IV) that was actually recorded in 2003 with an orchestra (so it's a new recording not just a posthumous live album)...probably they consider only bands that recorded an album form 2000 onwards
having said that, to me in case the most significant exclusion would have been Beatles and Rolling Stones (other than the 3 acts you mentioned)

No way. They make the most creative sounds in hip-hop. I remember when Pearl Jam played them back in '94 on their "Pirate Radio" broadcast, and Eddie Vedder was going ga-ga over this little-known outfit called OutKast. And he was right.
