Sirius XM 60s Gold conducted a listeners poll for the top 40 UK pop/rock acts of the 1960s. No surprise at No. 1, The Beatles. But there were some other placements you might not have expected. e.g.: Van Morrison not making the Top 20; the Rolling Stones barely cracking the Top 10; and no instrumental artists -- The Tornadoes? Mr. Acker Bilk?. Other notable no shows: Cream, The Bee Gees, Led Zeppelin, The Foundations, Status Quo. So, what do you think of the British Fab 40?
