A: "The five legendary bands came out on top in a vote by Xfm's listeners"

Methodology: it gets worse:

"A panel of musicians, DJs and music industry types will debate and discussing the shortlist during a special roundtable show on Xfm on Saturday May 27, but we'll be collecting your votes, ready to announce the name of the first band to enter the Xfm Hall Of Fame on Tuesday May 30 followed by a very special presentation at Xfm's First Friday club night on June 2 at the Islington Academy."

No coldplay?

On May 27 a panel of industry experts, including NME Editor Conor McNicholas, will gather at Xfm London's West End HQ for a live show fronted by Lucio. All will discuss the relative merits of each of the five nominated bands.

So is the winner determined solely by fan voting?

Because of so, Muse is going to win, and I'm going to laugh so hard I'll shit my pants.

Indie rock radio station listeners like indie rock: story at 10.
