Extraordinary Popular Delusions

This was rigged

Alright, there were some good ones on . I really can't argue with Nirvana, or The Smiths, or Radiohead, or Coldplay1. And U2 definitely deserves mention for Where The Streets Have No Name. But can somebody tell me how that tripe from One topped the list when Pink Floyd's Time didn't even get mentioned?

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

1Incidentally, the first few times Coldplay showed up on my radar screen, people referred to them as the next Pink Floyd. And I disagreed, so therefore I didn't like them. Sometime later, I heard somebody refer to them as the next U2, and I've been OK with them ever since.
