Oooh, pressure.  Well, as Simon Loukes mentioned, it's not THAT easy to rank
them.  Yes, it is my ranking, and yes it is a bit biased towards UK bands but I
don't have that much chance to hear the overseas bands.  I've not heard the MSB
for ages, or the NYSB either so its just an estimation based on my CD
collection which nobody needs to agree with, but i'm very interested to hear
what other peoples top 10 are, especially overseas people....and i'd like to
see a contesting bands top 10 as well, if anyone is up for it....I'll start it
off with Yorkshire Building Society but after that I start getting lost.

anyway, best wishes,
