 A new website was just launched to invite the public to vote for their Top 5 albums (films and books) in an evolving poll to find the Greatest Albums etc of all time – www.pollthepeople.com. The site was borne out of frustration at the number of TV and press polls based on very little research or the opinions of a few journalists. The new site provides people a chance to have their say and vote for their favourite albums (films and books) to create a truly definitive global poll. Check out the site here. |

| NFC News Nirvana amongst Top 25 Best Alternative Rock Bands Of The 1990s |
| Nirvana features at number 10 in the Top 25 Best Alternative Rock Bands Of The 1990s, as compiled by Rob O'Connor in the List Of The Day section of Yahoo Music Blogs. "These young men changed everything. Well, not everything. But certainly the bank accounts of not just people who worked for them, but even the bank accounts of bands who once had a career before they showed up. Just ask the guys in Winger or any hair metal band what happened to their show business receipts once Smells Like Teen Spirit got ahold of MTV and radio stations across the land. Not everyone profited at Kurt Cobain's expense." Read story here. |
