Who is your favourite British Band?

[Jinx]

Can we consider Mumford & Sons in this, or no?

[Quindiana Jones]

I've never loved you more, Sam.

[DMKA]

[Quindiana Jones]

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.

[Markus. D]

The Fratellis, Radiohead and Spice Girls come to mind (if we're counting the word ... band(s)).

edit: Block Party dropped my mind. THEM TOO

[Jiro]

Going to add the Manic Street Preachers to the list.

[Loony BoB]

Def Leppard and Queen.

Also...

5ive
Coldplay
Gorillaz
N-Dubz
Oasis
Rizzle Kicks
The Chemical Brothers
The Eurythmics
The Police
The Saturdays
UB40

Off the top of my head!

[Quindiana Jones]

Oh, BoB...

[NeoCracker]

I dont' know how many bands I Listen to are really british, cause I don't care, but apparently Gorillaz are.

So given they are one of my favorite bands ever, I'll go with them. <3

[Loony BoB]

Oh, BoB...

Which specific part of my post did you find problematic? ;D

[Quindiana Jones]

Five and N-Dubz are the main offenders. Shame on you, sir.

[Cuchulainn]

What are you guys on about; "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is one of the greatest songs of all time.

Ok so they had 2 MAYBE 3 decent songs. Other than that they're completely overrated.

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.

I guess we can't all be down with the new hip beats, maaaaan.

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.

And it's the name of one of the most bitchin' Cowbow Bebop episodes.

I do think that, on a whole, they are overrated, but that hardly means they aren't awesome and very talented.

(Paint it Black, Satisfaction, and Symphony for the Devil are all terrific, past that I find them just slightly above average. )
