If you havent seen this yet, it is a very good top 20, barring one or two exceptions like Roy Wood and Francis Rossi.

Also Geldof is in it. Guess where and post before watching.  Or just post where you think he would be regardless. I will PM his position.

Thanks for highlighting this; have set the planner accordingly as I've never seen it before. 

It's billed as a top 25 show, so am wondering why you refer to a top 20. A clue perhaps? I'm going for 17 anyway.

 Yes, Geldof is in top 20.

Just watched this. Not going to reveal the position, except to say Geldof was higher than my guess. I got the top 3 right (not that hard) but felt Sir Elton was rated inadequately and to not even make the top ten, doesn't sit right with me.

 I was surprised Bowie wasnt #1.  Agree that Elton was lower than expected, ditto Noddy Holder.  Of those ahead of Geldof, Meat Loaf was the only one I would not have expected.  Also there was no Elvis Costello at all.  I have seen 12 of the top 20 live.

 I feel number one was spot on really. Noddy should have been a little higher. Yes, a few notable omissions.

 I think he's bland and his music, especially of more recent origin, even blander. Never got this 'stylish, sophisticated' tag people attach to him. I once heard it said he was more likely to decorate a hotel room than destroy it.

Not surprised he was an omission, let alone a notable one.

 Was Lee Brilleaux of Dr Feelgood included? If not then he deserves to be there.

Geldof and Briquette are big Ferry fans. 

They were playing The In Crowd on repeat on a boat all morning not so long ago  

(Geddit, Ferry! Boat! In Crowd!  It's all in there! I'll get my coat)

Also Do The Strand was on Geldof's Under The Influence compilation
