Want another mindless survey? Your wish is our command. Robbie Williams has been named best live solo artist, while U2 have been named the best live band, this time in a survey of 5000 music fans undertaken by Carling.
On the solo front Williams beat other top ten contenders David Bowie, Morrissey, Elvis, Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Weller, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan. Runners up in the live band top ten included Queen, the Rolling Stones, The Who, Coldplay, Faithless, Radiohead and Oasis.
Commenting on the survey Carling's Martin Coyle told reporters: "It's great to see that current bands like Oasis can sit comfortably alongside rock greats like The Who and Rolling Stones".
Carling also ran surveys as to the best album and single of all time - Stone Roses eponymous album, Nirvana's 'Nevermind' and Oasis' 'Definitely Maybe' topped the former, while Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', John Lennon's 'Imagine' and Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' topped the singles survey.
