I was gonna cut Ian earlier, so I'll do it now. If Bernard had stayed, I'd be cutting Strummer.

14.Joe Strummer
26.Debbie Harry

On edit: Oops, Debbie's already gone, so the winner is:

The top three were all great. I would have been happy with any of them: Debbie, Joe or Ian. So, I'm fine with it.

Joe Strummer is a good figure but not quite big enough and doesn't a larger than life personna and Ian Curtis is more of a cult hero, Debbie would have been the best choice of the final 3.

I beg to differ guyinsf. Not about Ian or Debbie but about Joe Strummer. I was hoping it would be Joe. Nice [:D]

I'm happy with Joe Strummer too (and I'm a huge Debbie Harry fan!)

The top 10 all deserved it.
