Who's the best Billy ever? You decide

I was looking at the BBC's Magnificent Seven poll, it got me thinking about these online polls and I thought that we might have one on the website at work, so I went to speak with my editor Dan Matthews about it.

Dan came up with this genius idea. "Billy Idol".


Who was the greatest William or Bill in history?
William Wallace
William Wilberforce
Bill Gates
Bill Clinton
William Hague
William the Conquer
Billy Idol
Buffalo Bill

Where's Shakespeare?

My thoughts exactly PT. And modesty forbids mention of another noted William....

What about Billie Piper?
As Dr Who's assistant she has had the biggest impact on history.

This poll excludes women, and in line with the A list it needs to be more representative, not just for people with Willies.

can't believe people are voting for William the Conquerer - mass murder and pillage all round????

Chris Palmer said...

It has to be Billy Idol doesn't it?! Seventeen other people had thought so anyway when I voted!

No William of Orange..... and I thought you had a passing interest in parliamentary government, James.

Oh dear, no William the 3rd or Shakespeare!

No mention of me or the man from croydon either!

I suspect that a well organised campaign by the Billy Idol fan club means, that no other Billy really had a chance.
