He's right, of course, but its as problematic as any poll that relies on public familarity - which inevitably favours more current artists (look at the amount of 'best albums ever' polls that OK Computer has topped). One definite blip (I tried it) is the ability to vote for the same comedian over and over again. Although anyone prepared to do that is probably in a worse state than that poll. I voted for Daniel kitson three times, btw.
