Pink Floyd are the best

Pink Floyd have been named the world's greatest rock act of all time by listeners of a British radio station.

Led Zeppelin came second, followed by The Rolling Stones in the poll of almost 60,000 rock fans.

The Who were fourth, eclipsing AC/DC, U2, Guns N' Roses, and Nirvana.

Jimi Hendrix came 10th in the poll carried out by British digital radio station Planet Rock, after Bon Jovi.

That's right folks. Bon Jovi actually beat Hendrix.

The survey of 58,000 listeners also named the 1970s the golden age of rock, followed by the 1960s, the Spandex years of the 1980s and grunge decade the 1990s.
