After five weeks of online voting to whittle our long-list down to three the winner has been announced following the I'm in a Rock'n'Roll Band live show phone vote.

Who Made It - Short List

Led Zeppelin

They took the blues and turned it something monstrous and beautiful. If it's heavy, it owes a debt to Led Zep.

Queen

From pomp rock to pop funk, there was no sound that they couldn't make their own. And with Freddie as the front man, how could they be anything but adored?

The Beatles

They defined pop music, and pretty much everything else, in the 1960s. Is it possible to imagine life without The Fabs?

Who Didn't Make It - Runners-Up

The Clash

The ultimate rock 'n' roll revolutionaries, promising to change not just music, but the world!

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Few people inspire worship more than Jimi; the drummer and bassist weren't half bad either.

Joy Division

The most influential band of the post-punk era; their stripped-down grooves and moody atmosphere influencing both dance music and goth.

Nirvana

The band that took grunge to the world, their album Nevermind a friend to disaffected teenagers everywhere.

Radiohead

They made OK Computer, one of the most loved discs of the 90s. Always experimenting, and not frightened of taking themselves seriously - in a good way.

The Rolling Stones

The rivals to The Beatles 1960s pop crown, who went on to define sleazy rock 'n' roll for generations to come.
