Greatest Rock Bands

BBC online reported recently that that after separate polls of the greatest rock vocalist, guitarist, bassist and drummer the winners were the members of Led Zepplin.

Whilst I have no doubt that Led Zepplin were the greatest Rock band of all time, I do have a couple of queries about the poll.

First, and in my opinion most importantly: Why do Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker appear due to their appearence in Cream (both deserved) when Eric Clapton does not?

Second, how does John Paul Jones come out above Jack Bruce? Not only was Jack a fantastic bass player, he also sang and wrote many of Cream's hits.

Whilst their are several other issues with this list, I shall leave them to another post...
