Stephen Gately? Just because he died he's better thought of than Geldof?

The order here is alphabetical.
Stephen Gately died around the time the list was issued and I believe he was No. 1 according to an initial public vote.
RTE reduced the list to five and made an individual programme for Nos. 1, 3, 4, 15 & 35 with No. 15 voted top in the end.
