MySpace Conducts Poll to Find Greatest Band of All Time

MySpace wrangled up five of Australia's best music writers and critics to compile a list of artists and then let the nation vote.

The voting results are surprising to say the least, but when you think about it, the top 10 lists aren't too shocking considering that the masses that voted are all part of a younger generation of music fans.

The writers that set up the ballets were Mathew Coyte (Rolling Stone), Kathy McCabe (The Daily Telegraph), Patrick Donovan (Music Victoria), George Palathingal (Sydney Morning Herald) and Nicole Fossati (The Music Network). Voting was unique to say the least. AC/DC is the greatest band of all time and Pink is the best female artist in the history of music. Check out the results below.
