20 to 1 - Top Performers (anyone see the end?)
My husband and I taped this on Foxtel and it stopped after #3 (Madonna). Does anyone know who #1 and 2 are?
I looked online but can't find the list anywhere. So I was hoping someone might have caught the ending as ours cut off the ending. Not really vital information, I know, but just curious to see if Pink Floyd made the list.

Re: 20 to 1 - Top Performers (anyone see the end?)
If I remember correctly Michael Jackson was either #4 or 5. Elvis was farther down on the list 10-15 I'd guess.
These are the ones I remember, in no particular order.
-Pink
-Tina Turner
-Madonna
-Kylie Minogue
-INXS
-Michael Jackson
-Elvis
-Beatles
-Rolling Stones
-Jimmy Hendrix
-ACDC
-Coldplay
-Crowded House (I think)
-Robbie Williams
-ABBA
-John Farnham
Can't remember a couple.
I'm pretty certain that Britney Spears won't make the list

Queen were number 1
No idea why, her speeches bore the hell out of me.

U2 were number 2.
Again, why?
Gary powers being shot down or something?

(if anyone gets that joke I'll be impressed)

Thanks JTL
I had actually thought of Queen at one point and my husband thought of U2 so he'll be happy they made it.
I have no idea who Gary Powers is so that's definitely over my head!

Francis Gary Powers was a ex-USAF pilot who was shotdown over the Soviet Union in the '60s flying a U2 spyplane for the CIA. He was sentenced to 10 years in Siberia for spying, but was released in a prisoner exchange. He died in a helicopter crash in the '80s.

I have no idea who compiles those 20 to 1 lists. A couple of guys meet down the pub, get slaughtered and see what names come into their heads. Most of the lists are totally bizarre and as for Moonface, why is he still on the TV? I'm sure he was highly talented at some point and obviously some people think he's god but really, his use by date is long gone.

These are the ones I remember, in no particular order.
-Pink - good but certainly not good enough for a list like this
-Tina Turner - shite
-Madonna - reasonable
-Kylie Minogue - wtf???
-INXS - Michael Hutchence yes, the rest hell no
-Michael Jackson - yes
-Elvis - no
-Beatles - yes,sort of
-Rolling Stones - best on the list, shoulda been 1
-Jimmy Hendrix - yes
-ACDC - shite -
Coldplay - absolute dross
-Crowded House (I think) - good but not that good
-Robbie Williams - shite
-ABBA - omg total pish
-John Farnham - no
Can't remember a couple.

Queen were superb in concert, seen them about 6 times, wouldn't go to see U2 if you paid me so it's all down to personal choice, that's why I don't see the point of the programme 
One they had the other week was top 20 divas, can't remember the order of people but it was very odd
