Watched this tonight, watched from about top 30 onwards, and from top 20 intently. Obviously looking for U2. I thought they would definitely be top 10 and maybe top 5.
I even predicted that in the top 5 would be Led Zepplin, U2, Queen, The Rollling Stones and The Beatles, thought it would be in that order actually.
It got down to number 5 and it was Led Zepp and I was pretty happy with my guess. Then Oasis at number 4 my jaw dropped. I knew there were 4 bands left for only 3 positions, I was now thinking that U2 must have been screwed over like I have seen so often seen before and been like 27th or something and I must have missed them while doing something earlier.
I thought it was Stones, Beatles and Queen left .
Stones were 3rd (behind Queen) which I didnt agree with but fair enough, VH1(2) are renowned for over rating Queen (not that they're bad just no better than a lot of other great bands who don't seem to get the same recognition.)
So Queen 2nd and I now know for a fact that The Beatles are number 1. I am pissed at having watched the show for the last 2 odd hours and not seeing U2.
I'm browsing the net and then I hear Beautiful Day I was truly shocked. Happy but shocked they got number 1. I guess they must condier the betles a pop band. Got no qualms with that tbh, a very pleasant surprise.
