Rock giants Queen have topped a national survey to discover which music legends people of the UK would most like to spend time with.

Freddie and co scored the top spot with a huge chunk of the votes being followed David Bowie in second, Stevie Wonder in third, Fleetwood Mac in fourth and Oasis in fifth.

The poll was carried out prior to the launch of Virgin Media's new music channel Vintage TV (channel 343) which will show classic concert footage, 'rockumentaries' and a variety of news shows.

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."

2. David Bowie
3. Stevie Wonder
4. Fleetwood Mac
5. Oasis
6. Bryan Adams
