Yawn To Be Wild

In this day and age the very concept of an "embargo" is ludicrous. But when it's applied to a horseshit radio "poll" so lame you'd think it had broken both ankles well, the head spins with the hilarity of it all. But that's not why we're here. We're here because this is terrible PR. So,

1. Shouldn't that be "ROCK'S" not "ROCKS"?
2. How many people voted?
3. Who counted?
4. Were they allowed to choose whatever song they wanted?
5. Is it "Sweet child o'mine" or "Sweet child o’ mine", because you can't have both.
6. Is it "Whole lotta Love" or "Whole lotta love", because you can't have both.
7. When you say "Derek and the Dominoes", do you mean "Derek and the Dominos"?
8. When you mention Cream's "Sunshine for your love", do you mean Cream's "Sunshine Of Your Love"?

The real question here is who'll be first to run this exciting news - Metro, London Lite or The London Paper?
