  • You’re my best friend: Queen beats Bowie and Stevie in battle of bands
  • Virgin Media celebrates launching Vintage TV to its channel line-up
Virgin Media has today announced the addition of Vintage TV (channel 343) to its TV service and its availability to all its 3.8million pay TV customers. To celebrate the launch Virgin Media scoured the country to uncover which music legends the UK would most love to spend time with and rock gods Queen broke free from the rest of the competition.

Vintage TV hosts an exhilarating and diverse range of original music programming and classic concert footage, together with full-length interview features, 'rockumentaries', and a variety of informative and entertaining new shows

Queen topped the number one spot with a significant proportion of the votes, showing the enduring appeal of anthems such as We Will Rock You and Bohemian Rhapsody. Star man David Bowie shot into second place, no doubt thanks to his iconic hits Let’s Dance and Ziggy Stardust, as well as recent new material.

Pop legend Stevie Wonder won’t be worrying ‘bout a thing as he scooped up third place and Fleetwood Mac went their own way into fourth position. Surprisingly, 90s rock and roll star favourites Oasis trailed behind in fifth place. Let’s hope they don’t look back in anger.

Virgin Media’s top ten bands Brits would most like to spend 15 minutes with
  1. Queen
  2. David Bowie
  3. Stevie Wonder
  4. Fleetwood Mac
  5. Oasis
  6. Bryan Adams
  7. ELO
  8. Joy Division
  9. Don Mclean
  10. The Undertones
Richard Wheeler, head of content acquisition at Virgin Media said, “Queen still proves the show must go on as the UK continues to enjoy some of the best songs from the last century on Vintage TV.”

David Pick, Founder and CEO Vintage Entertainment Limited said, “Vintage TV fulfils the appetite of the UK’s music lovers for the very best content – music that stands the test of time! We’re absolutely delighted to be making our channel available for Virgin Media customers.”

28. Darren Hayes

His voice helped propel Savage Garden to the top of the US charts. Twice. "His voice has such engaging textures you believe every word he sings," Delta Goodrem notes. Brian Mannix pointed out Hayes’ "unlimited" range. "I was amazed at how he sang live and then bastard jumps up another octave!"
Anthony Callea is another fan. "His voice is sensitive, honest and draws you in in a very unique way."



36. Olivia Newton-John


Another singer whose talents are often underrated, ONJ just lobbed behind JOK. "Olivia sings with such warmth and love while she tells stories through song, it’s no wonder the whole world will forever be in love with her magic," Delta Goodrem says.
"That sound, the warmth from such a high singer," David Campbell says. "Seducing every teenage boy and man with her sound even to this day."

81. Missy Higgins

84. Anthony Callea

Garbage Interrupts Detroit Concert To Let Fan Propose To His Boyfriend



On Saturday, the band Garbage paused in the middle of its concert at Detroit’s Majestic Theater to let a fan propose to his boyfriend onstage.

Lead singer Shirley Manson explained how Dominic had been supportive of a sick friend of the band, and her desire to thank him for his efforts.

“As it happens I was on my Facebook page yesterday, I was on the tour bus and I was going through messages as we do,” Manson told Dominic onstage. “I saw this message from your boyfriend, Scott, and he told me that you were really super amazing.”

Manson then brought Scott out and he popped the question to Dominic, his boyfriend of four years. As the crowd goes wild you can hear Dominic shouting an emphatic “Yes! Yes!”

Spinner reports that, as a final homage to the loving couple, Garbage dedicated the song “Vow” to Dominic and Scott.

Currently, Michigan has a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage but a judge has delayed ruling on a a challenge to that law until after the Supreme Court rules on marriage equality.
