Sparks. Least hair on those guys. I wouldn't bet on Marc Bolan to be an ape either, but he had a stack of it in his head.

No seriously. Loving Sparks runs in my family so I have no choice, really. Plus they've done an album with Giorgio Moroder.

They were all great... except the Bee Gees of course.

Freddie Mercury also worked with Giorgio Moroder - Metropolis soundtrack.

"It´s fundamental that we do only exist in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world. This is absolutely crucial to our entire outlook...what we do has an incredibly strong identity and applies only to us. It´s a case of not recognising the existence of anybody else!". Neil Tennant.

Beatles take the 60's

Queen Take the 70's.

My vote was for Queen obviously!

Abba all the way!! The only act to ever surpass Abba is a certain british duo.

Yeah, Abba.

Have the PSB ever mentioned Abba in an interview? I wonder what Neil and Chris think of Abba's music.

Hmm. The Beatles ended in 1970, so they definitely were the best band of the 60's.

It's harder to say what band is the best of the 70's, mainly because all the bands listed represent diffent genres of music, and they all have made a significant influence on music and today's music wouldn't be the same without them.

I voted for Roxy Music - just because I adore them. But I could have just as well voted for Sparks (it was tough choice between Sparks and Roxy), T-Rex, Queen or Abba.
