Pink Floyd have been named the world's greatest rock act of all time.
The band, which recently reunited on stage at Live 8 for the first time in 24 years, beat other rock icons like U2 and The Who to the title.
Led Zeppelin came second, followed by The Rolling Stones in the poll of almost 60,000 rock fans.
The Who were fourth, eclipsing AC/DC, U2, Guns N' Roses, and Nirvana.
Jimi Hendrix came 10th in the poll carried out by digital radio station Planet Rock, after Bon Jovi.
The survey of 58,000 listeners also named the 1970s the golden age of rock, followed by the 1960s, the Spandex years of the 1980s and grunge decade the 1990s.
Pink Floyd are thought to have sold a staggering 200 million albums worldwide since forming in 1965.
Planet Rock presenter Nicky Horne will count down the results over four days from 9am on December 28.
He said: "Pink Floyd are one of the greatest bands in the history of rock and roll."
Top 10 Rock Acts:
1. Pink Floyd
2. Led Zeppelin
3. The Rolling Stones
4. The Who
5. AC/DC
6. U2
7. Guns N' Roses
8. Nirvana
9. Bon Jovi
10. Jimi Hendrix

If Cobain hadn't of blown his miserable head to pieces we wouldn't have to see his lame ass band frequently appearing in all sorts of top 10 rock related lists.

At least GN'R are above 'the old enemy' for a change
I don't get why so many people put AC/DC so high, GNR's music was far more varied and interesting imo.

Zeppelin and Ac/dc have always struck me as amazingly average - Pink Floyd at no.1 goes without saying
Bon Jovi shouldn't be there - they are a fun band to listen to, but they aren't ''good'' in any kind of defensible way, and they have been awful for a decade
Hendrix is so over-rated he gets an inclusion without any thought being actually given

As much as I love Floyd, and am glad they are so well recieved by the general public. I begin to wonder if the only reason they took the top spot is because of their re-union at Live 8, I mean before that they wouldn't really have topped one of these lists, but now they're everywhere! Great band though! And it's good to see our boys GnR on the list too, 5 full albums and the 7th greatest RnR band ever, not fuckin bad!!

Pink Floyd? but they are shit. how the fuck did they come on that list? why are people attracted to them? they have no raw energy in their music. just boring. there's like 10sec of the song its good.
