Who is your favourite British Band?

[charliepanayi]

you don't like them. Militantly so, however thankful millions and millions of people have more relevant opinions than you. They're one of the most important bands in history. Sympathy With The Devil is probably one ofv the greatest song ever written.

Consensus and popularity does not equate to being more relevant than something else. Wouldn't be the first time millions of people were wrong/had bad taste.

In fact, the music industry kind of thrives on the poor taste of the millions and has for years.

You are correct. But The Rolling Stones were great in their heyday and people who think they're overrated possibly need new ears.

[Quindiana Jones]

I think they're good, but overrated in terms of music quality but not in terms of influence.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Okay, The Stones suck. Seriously.


THE CURE

You're an awful person.

I really can't decide whether I like Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath more. Both bands have had a very large impact in what music I listen to today.

WOULD LIKE TO THROW THE smurfING WURZELS INTO THE MIX

i don't care if you're a ponce who is like "no way i don't click links"

just this smurfing once

i guarantee you will not regret it. GUARANTEE.

there is no better way to spend the next few minutes. none of the "important" trout you are planning on doing in any way shapes up to this.

THANK YOU

AND GOODNIGHT. THREAD WON.

Also, I totally forgot Erasure. Oh baby pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease~

Good call. Aneka still tops it though.

Your other post makes me wonder if Danielle is just a hallucination of mine, and you are the 40 year old virgin.

Say the Wurzel's at Ciderfest month back. Had to borrow a pick off them. Good times.

eh. Lost logic to make a point. excellent. I'm aware you can't please every little reactionary hater out there & I'm also aware that grestness is not measured in mass appeal alone. However we're not talking about mass appeal alone nowe are we. It's all about the music, the legacy & the influence on others. THe Stones stand tall on all three, on a par with the Beatles ad I'm sure they'd be just as respected by little ball roots if Jagger got shot dead too.

Anywat British band influenced music like no other nation. There's been bands and singers from the US that are true legends however when you look at the sheer amount of British bands that left a lasting legacy in music it's staggering,

Beatles, Stones, The Kinks, Zed Zep, The Who, Bowie, Queen, The Pistols, Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Radiohead on and on and on.

However if i had to pick one that stands above all others it would definately be Chumbawomba

I GET KNOCKED DOWN

[DMKA]

Just so you know, DMKA, you have now awakened in me a genuine desire to win this CK Competition, purely so that I can ban you for that atrocity.

You know you loves me. :smooch:

I just like a variety of music. I would say enjoying a wider variety of music increases your chances of getting laid, anyway, considering you can get on with most people when it comes to their musical tastes and can socialise easier when it comes to all kinds of musical interests. It's worked for me so far! Still can't enjoy thrash/death metal, though I can on occasion manage to find it amusing at the very least. Don't think I could ever like people with voices that make my skin crawl, either. Like Macey Gray. =|

More to the point, though: C'mon, I'm not 40!

[Jowy]

like the smiths, hate morrissey? check out "colin meloy sings morrissey." the entire album is just, well, great.

i like radiohead and muse. the beatles and floyd need not be mentioned as they have already cemented their legacy.

[ReloadPsi]

Chants "Maiden" over and over.

[Shoden]

To think of British music I really think to 70s and 80s bands, the era Britain pretty much invented heavy rock and heavy metal.

We've had the likes of Led Zeppelin, Billy Idol, Queen, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Saxon, Motorhead. I mean hell, we also had ERASURE from these parts, do you guys realise how amazing it would've been to just have them play the Robot Unicorn song!? Awesome levels would have been through the roof but no. Sad times. =(

My favourite band is either Judas Priest or Black Sabbath or even Motorhead out the lot but we needed Erasure.

[Jiro]

Did someone say Kasabian already? How about James, or Pulp? I like those guys too.
