@Hooroo cause they're shit
Or UB40
UB40 were about ten blokes that somehow combined to sound like one bloke singing over a bad synthesizer.
They then split into two, both claiming to be "official" and hilariously one of the million horn players they had was forced to join a UB40 tribute band.
"Don't break my heart " is an ok song but on the whole by god they're a fucken awful group.
U2 would get in over them in a heartbeat which says it all.

Zombie, RobSooo many bands in S & M that i was forced to leave out.
Exponents ? really ? wow......closest kiwi bands for me would be Dragon or Shihad but neither was in with a genuine shout.
Chris Cornell makes your list twice ! well done that man, I couldn't quite justify them being ahead of STP, I guess I prefer one dead grunge singer over another even though Cornell was a better singer than Weiland.
Offspring are a good choice but my young workmates have made me appreciate Mr Ocean so it's a tough one. Audioslave weren't a chance against ACDC.
Xzibit gets in ahead of XTC but he's mainly there as a beneficiary of fuck all options.
Is it too late for me to replace Cypress Hill with Phil Collins ? "In too deep" came on the radio while I was out and reminded me of his undoubted fucken awesomeness.

I WILL FIGHT EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU OVER THE FIRST FOUR ORCHESTRAL MANOUEVRES IN THE DARK ALBUMS.
It was a knock down brawl between them and the Oblivians for my O spot though.
I wanna know.....I wanna know......I wanna know whyyyyyyyyyy.......anyone would bother trying to justify being a fan of this tepid and utterly shit group.
I really expect so much more of you @Rocky-Rockbottom

This is a really dumb game. I struggled to G and ,when faced with a decision of not being able to listen to either Marvin Gaye or Al Green for the rest of my life, gave up.
Yeah great point. Doors, Soundgarden, Snoop Dogg, Rick James, James Brown and many others miss out.
Xzibit gets in.
Shit game

haha, says the guy whose list is any 2 hours of Radio Hauraki from 1997...
I resent that remark. Some of my groups best work is from the late 60s. I even go so far as the mid 2010s

OK, so I was in a boring meeting and had a go.
