D.O.A. frontman Joey "Shithead" Keithley has been named the most influential British Columbian of all time in an online poll conducted by The Vancouver Sun newspaper.

Keithley received 2,912 votes (including 843 from a single IP address), which put him 1,200 votes ahead of second-place finisher Terry Fox. More than 31,300 votes were cast for the 219 nominees, and many of the musical folks on the list performed well. Joni Mitchell finished ninth, Nelly Furtado 11th, Michael Buble 12th, David Foster 13th, Bryan Adams 16th, Diana Krall 30th, Randy Bachman 34th and Ben Heppner 95th

The final poll results can be seen here.

D.O.A., who celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2008, will play five shows in China this month before they return to North America for shows in Washington and Oregon. They'll head to Europe in April for concerts in France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. All the shows are in support of last year's Northern Avenger.
