Bono is the most influential pop star of the last 25 years - just so you know. Michael Jackson is the second most, while Madonna is third. Or at least that's according to a new survey commissioned by MTV to celebrate their previously reported 25th anniversary. More than 4000 people took part in the 'Rock Royalty' survey, with 15 artist slots available on a mock up photo showing the most influential rockers standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony. The other 12 artists to appear are: Kurt Cobain, Prince, Eminem, Kylie Minogue, Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake, Sir Elton John, Beyonce Knowles, Robbie Williams, Pete Doherty, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.
