It'll be a voted one by the readers anyway.

Oasis?...and above Bon Jovi??? Nirvana anywhere in the top 500? lol I can't stand either of those 2, and whereas I'm not fond of many of the others I think in terms of popularity they are all quite popular.

Oasis changed the music industry. Nirvana did that as well. Bon Jovi didn't.

Changed the music industry?
Oasis were the icons of Britpop. Nirvana were the icons of grunge. Bon Jovi aren't the icons of hairmetal, Bon Jovi are just a rockband.

I can agree with that list. Not too sure about Oasis or The Bee Gees, but it seems pretty accurate.
