BBC News reports that rockers QUEEN have beaten THE BEATLES to be crowned greatest British band of all time by BBC Radio 2 listeners.
They pipped the Fab Four in a live contest, trouncing other finalists THE ROLLING STONES, OASIS and TAKE THAT.
The bands were judged on songwriting, lyrics, live performances, originality and showmanship.
More than 20,000 listeners voted by email, text and phone. The five finalists had been selected over the previous week by Radio 2 listeners.
DJ Mark Goodier then hosted a three-hour live New Year's Day show in which a host of celebrity guests, including boy band MCFLY, joined listeners in debating who should win the title.
