Kurt Cobain voted biggest rock'n'roll hero
By NME.
I don't know the whole list (and truth be told I couldn't care less), but some of these names made me laugh.

Kurt Cobain voted your biggest rock 'n' roll hero
The late guitarist tops NME's poll of all-time greats
Kurt Cobain has been voted as the greatest rock 'n' roll hero of all time by readers of NME.
In this week's special edition of NME - out nationwide today (May 10) - the late Nirvana guitarist has been shown to still be inspiring music lovers across the world, over ten years after his tragic suicide.
"The first time I met Kurt he was watching 'The Wizard Of Oz' on TV at a B&B in Shepherd's Bush just before 'Sliver' was released - he looked like a grunge Christopher Robin," former NME writer Steve Lamacq remembers. "There was something very innocent about Kurt, he had an almost childlike detachment. The way he used to withdraw inside himself made him a terrific observer of people."
Also featuring in NME's Heroes Poll are stars including Liam Gallagher, Morrissey, Pete Doherty, David Bowie, Ian Brown, Joe Strummer, John Lennon, Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner.

OK, Liam sang a couple of really good songs on Oasis first two albums, but Pete Doherty, for God's sake ?
(unless of course, being a stoned idiot and singing Children Of The Revolution in front of a billion tv viewers is being regarded as "rock'n'roll heroism")

Nobody female?
(e.g. Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, Debbie Harry, Aimee Mann)
Nobody original?
(e.g. Lowell George, Jeff Tweedy, Daniel Johnston or anybody really)
These lists piss me off - real lowest common denominator stuff.
And very cheap journalism....
