In the new polls, who are all the people I should have added as options, but didn't? And why should I have added them?

You forgot Genesis, Depeche Mode, The Cure and Dire Straits in the Pop/rock band thread. The reason they should be there is that they're all awsome. I mean, you've got the Monkees but not Genesis/The Cure/Depeche Mode/Dire Straits? I'm not sure, but I think they all outsold the Monkees, and the Monkees were all about selling albums!

Actually, The Monkees were not really very successful. They were supposed to be America's answer to The Beatles, but they got nowhere near.
The Cure are not on the list because they'd be in Goth if I did a Goth list. I didn't ;D
Dire Straits are a bad omission, I admit. Depeche Mode less so, and Genesis... Yeah, they shoulda been there. But I only had so much space on that list... ;D

Is this Goth, Elliot? The Cure is gothic on occasion, but the general term is alternative pop. Depeche Mode has never had a nr 1 single, yet they've sold more than 72 million records world wide. They're more entitled to be on the list than most on the groups that ARE on that list. Übereil

Alt POP? The Cure? First time I've seen them described as that!

Did you even follow the link? That is most definently a pop song. Or to put it like this, it's not the least Goth...  And the reason you have never heard The Cure be described as alt pop is because you haven't read as much about them as I have. And you haven't read as much about Goth as I have either (not to mention listened to Goth. And The Cure). Because if you had you'd know The Cure isn't Goth. They're a pop band. An alternative one, sure, but still a pop band. Übereil |

I'm pretty certain I haven't read as much about them as you have, Ube. I was never a fan.

Yeah you forgot some bands, but there is no way you can add all the best rock groups in one list, there are just soo many different rockgroups and not everyone likes Metallica or G&R, so you're forgiven
