Queen frontman Freddie Mercury has been maned as the Greatest Rock Legend Of All Time.
Flamboyant Mercury, who sold 300 million records before he died of HIV induced bronchopneumonia in November 1991, beat Elvis Presley to claim the title.
The tragic star, who was born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar in 1946, formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. They were later joined by bass player John Deacon.
British born rocker David Bowie came third in the survey carried out among 3,000 rock fans, followed by Jon Bon Jovi, Jimi Hendrix and Ozzy Osbourne.
Other rock gods in the top 20 list include Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Robert Plant… we can imagine many rockers will be smashing their guitars over their absence from the list.

A spokesman for OnePoll.com which conducted the poll said: "Freddie Mercury had it all, the voice, the image, the stage presence, everything.
"He was Queen and he was the driving force behind them. He was idolised around the world by millions of fans and his legend will live on forever.
"He combined his ear for music with an ability to deliver to stadium audiences and as such millions were devastated when HIV finally killed him in 1991."
"The list is a diverse mix of front men, guitarists and performers.
"There are some legendary acts in the list, but it's also good to see that modern day artists such as Dave Grohl earn respect from rock fans."
