A definite "no" from me.

first the Beatles and now the Smiths... were you dropped on your head as a baby? Repeatedly? It's not on Sam mate. You'll probably come around in a couple of years, you can quote me on that (maybe not so much on the Smiths but Morrissey's voice is
not an indistinct whine
)
I suppose I'd better vote yes... Hopefully we can get all the usual suspects out the way and get on with the interesting stuff like Big Black, this is like reading a 'top ten artists ever' list in some MOR music mag in WHSmith waiting for the train to 'meh'
Maybe Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Beatles etc etc should all just be included from the off so people needn't waste their time nominating them? Everyone knows those bands are getting in. Cam ahhhhn
edit: just clocked we've covered most of the predictable stuff, I was obviously absent
