Yeah, they were going to leave someone they shouldn't - Velvet Undergound, Kraftwerk, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Pink Floyd, The Clash and many others. But as Craig Ferguson says, it's the most important to you that matters.

Don't know why they left out The Beatles as obvious winners.

The guests on this episode were a lot better than on some of the others. Lars and Alan Light were able to carry on a relatively knowledgeable conversation, where in some of the other ones the "celebrity" guest was kind of useless, or the "expert" got shut out by the other guests. I almost gave up on this show completely after the episode about "Worst Dictator EVAR", but I think this ep and the one about the best invention have pulled it back into the watchable category.
