I would put the STranglers ahead of them and in your top 10 for sure. I think part of this is because Zepplin offers something for everyone: drunk rednecks love their balls-out rock and roll; more intellectual types can try to decipher Robert Plants opaque, yet seemingly meaningful, lyrics; and musicians can appreciate the pure talent thatJimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham brought to the table.

Im from the UK and I wouldnt put all your submissions in a list, does that mean Im in fact not from the UK as you would assume? 22: Depeche Mode Also, how is it possible for the Jam to be 3 positions behind JMC? I think that the Beatles or The Who should be higher then The Clash..Only coz I have always thought The Clash was dare I say it OVERRATED.. Remembrance of things past , What a stupid list. More importantly, T. Rex (along with Gary Glitter) personified the entire glam-rock movement. And its a sad, sad soul who doesnt perk up when Venus or Cruel Summer come on the radio.

I didnt like Collins solo work nearly as much, but you cant deny his talent as a songwriter. 11) Roxy Music: If youre a fan of New Wave, you probably know that most New Wave bands were influenced by two music acts. In the middle years of the decade the influence of the pub rock and American punk rock movements led to the British intensification of punk, which swept away much of the existing landscape of popular music, replacing it with much more diverse new wave[2] and post punk bands who mixed different forms of music and influences to dominate rock and pop music into the 1980s. This led Verve frontmanRichard Ashcroft to quip that Symphony was the best song Jagger and Richards have written in 20 years (and it was true:Symphony was the highest-charting Jagger\Richards single since 1971s Brown Sugar!). When they hit its SO good but Song 2 can suck a fat one. Updated A lot has changed for these classic rock bands. . It was the first time I felt I heard something come across the radio that mirrored my home life, my childhood.)

Their self-titled 1970 debut album introduced the world to their signature sound, combining heavy guitar riffs, driving drums, and occult-inspired lyrics.

Makes me sad. 41) The Human League Sure, they might be Three Hit Wonders in the United States, and many in the UK would probably prefer to forget they ever existed. What a brilliant list! Like Bob Dylan, Lowe is famous for other people covering his work: Elvis Costellos(Whats So Funny Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding and Johnny Cashs The Beast in Me were originally Lowe songs.

When I was younger, I recall hearing how big band was the music of choice in old folks homes. 12) The Smiths: There was a point in time in the 1980s where British music fans were on the verge of the ultimate heresy: naming The Smiths, and not The Beatles, as the best British band of all time. And Pink Floyd at 13 is a joke! Well, The Police were the first New Wave band to do that, and they did it in the early 80s. Found myself agreeing with 65% and disagreeing with the rest thats great and makes for an interesting world Also, I dont really understand how some many comments disparage this list because it doesnt have the Beatles at the top. The Clash at number one!!!!! 14) The Doors At the start of the 1960s, rock and roll was still a relatively . 32. The British music scene was thriving from new wave to heavy metal to pop-rock. So the Clash are one but you dont name a song or act they inspired. I teach courses in the history of British Rock and to me this list is strange and very misleading but perhaps reflects the age of the compiler. An unashamedly personnel take. The lowest any Madness album has ever charted in the UK was #17 (1999s Wonderful). One of our favourite songs from the earlier days of The Cure. Ever. And heres an amazing fact: every single released by The Jam all 18 of them hit the UK Top 40, with four of them going to #1. Your #50 band isnt your favorite?), but theres no denying that The Verve had a certain degree of magic when they werent busy arguing with each other. kate bush isnt a band ffs, Cream, Def Leppard. That is a very comprehensive list you have there, and apart from ELO not being on the list I cant fault it tbh. Frontman and vocalist Paul Weller, guitarist Steve Brookes, and drummer Rick Buckler made up the core of the band, which staged energetic live performances and recorded politically charged lyrics. Black Sabbath released a string of highly successful albums in the 70s that made them one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time. They were Motorhead, and they played Rocknroll. Paranoid is a classic no matter where youre coming from musically, and the fact that its 4x platinum kind of bears that out. Not surprised they were a total ommission since so was every idiots ommission on both sides of the pond no matter what the list The Moody Blues. Back in the 90s, the Britpop scene involved the battle between the top two bands. Because I just didnt get enough controversy last week, heres more! So they should be in the top 1-5 or 5-10 at least ? Pop/Rock. Clash? Highly regarded as The Beatles closest rivals. I say 1-The Beatles 2-Led Zeppelin 3-The Rolling Stones 4-Pink Floyd 5-The Who 6-Genesis 7-Queen 8-Yes 9-Deep Purple 10-Black Sabbath. Bowies sound was constantly evolving in the 70s, as evidenced by Young Americans and then Low, Heroes, and Lodger. Queens epic career began in 1970 in London, and while some of their most iconic tracks came out in that first decade, many of their explosive stadium rock songs came out in the 80s. Admittedly, I have not done the research you have, but I bet their number of hits and popularity are neck and neck, and the Monkeys are much cooler. Any list that does not include bad company should be written on toilet paper !!! IM STILL RELEVANT! desperation to me. They wanted their third album, the great London Calling, to be released as a double album, but sold for the price of a single album. Still not the greatest. 2) Elvis Presley Which is a shame, because John Taylor is the most underrated bass player ever! 21) The Grateful Dead My opinion is that they deserve at least to be 20-25 in this list. Yes, music is subjective, that can never be denied. 7. Still, PSB are titans of Britains electronic music scene and deserve props for putting out great tunes for 31 years. BTW..did I miss it or is Deep Purple not on this list??? Perhaps sometimes, but Sylvian was just so cool and smooth. The guy was huge. Im gonna write my response on the train. Come on, not top 10 but mos def top 50. But if I included him, by definition Id have to include Collins. The 2009 singles Love etc. and Did You See Me Coming? were as good as anything theyve ever put out but they also could have been recorded in 1987, too. Brooks Kraft LLC/Sygma via Getty Images; Isaiah Trickey/FilmMagic via Getty Images. @P. Seidmann: As I mentioned in my opening paragraphs, I included ALL solo acts with their original band(s), because if I did that the list would be more like 15 Greatest British Bands and their 35 Solo and Spin-Off Acts. In my opinion theyre one of the boldest and most whimsically awesome bands in the world. 15) Bob Dylan At the end of the day, though, I actually prefer spin-off band Fun Boy Three. A large number of mainstream rock songs fit into the singer-songwriter classification. About half of these bands would be on my list. They really werent distinctive enough to where you can listen to a new band and say oh yes, thats definitely an XTC influence. Im Dan and I run this website. 38) Buzzcocks: In the early days of British punk rock, far too many bands were of the three-chord, shouty vocals variety. My mind didnt tune in yesterday as I was thinking more towards rock, but they are a large part of what British music is about. Of course, Dark Side of the Moon was in the US charts from1973 to 1988, a run of 741 weeks that has never been equaled, nor likely to be repeated. But they kicked off the entire post-punk movement and (for better or worse) became the father of all gothic rock bands. I only regret you didnt mention any 90s-00s electronic acts at all (for I considere british are also the best (if not the only ones good) at it: Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin, Matthew Herbert, Roni Size), but maybe its a generational issue:); and of course, The Clash #1, what an heresy! Bands ? ALL deserve recognition ! 31.Dire Straits- Yes, Knopfler is talented but, gah, they are so boring. Very close. Are we all sitting comfy two square on our bottie?

During the decade, three of the albums were in the top-three spot in the UK chart: Selling England by the Pound, A Trick of the Tail, and And Then There Were Three The latter included Follow You Follow Me, which was one of the bands successful hits at the time. The Cult and Sisters arent even in the same league as PSB. It temps me to write my own. Terrific parallel with The Who being Wake Forest while the Stones and The Beatles are UNC and Duke. We hope they had stock in Fender. We all know her and her work, but sometimes you have to put things in perspective. Why oh why oh WHY do these sort of lists habitually overlook the most obvious BritBand Blindspot, the currently criminally undervalued SLADE??????? Despite a lack of airplay and very little presence on the singles charts, late-1970s heavy metal built a considerable following, particularly among adolescent working-class males in North America and Europe. [29] In 1977 Ultravox member Warren Cann purchased a Roland TR-77 drum machine, which was first featured in their October 1977 single release "Hiroshima Mon Amour". I like originality and Tull, especially was original. Held up as some kind of Rock Gods, the bands material has been packaged and repackaged so many times, its almost nauseating. The Police Another one of the most enduring bands (in terms of continual awareness) is The Police. If thats you, you cant possibly imagine how big Elton John was in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I do not understand why Clash are number one. [2] By the end of the decade many of these bands, most obviously the Police, were beginning to make an impact in American and world markets. It is artistically criminal to omit from the list Deep Purple (the best live rock album of all time, Made in Japan), Cream, Slade, Elo, Judas Priest, Motorhead and throw in garbage like Coldplay, Bananarama, Cocteau Twins, The Specials and Pet Shop Boys. 8. But they certainly changed alternative music forever. The British Art Coming! The author literally states that aside from personal preference, he was mainly factoring cultural/ chart impact and things like record sales. And of course, I feel compelled to mention the solo work of Gabriel and Collins. One suggestion, Cream? Theyve had 42 Top 30 singles, 22 Top 10 singles and 4 number ones. Floyd should be higher, the Clash are overrated and under no circumstances better than the Beatles. 5: Queen The Rolling Stones. Formed in the early 1970s, the Jam quickly gained popularity for its distinctive blend of punk and mod influences. Really enjoyed reading that and loved the Clash. 1 Queen, 2Beatles, 3 Rolling Stones 4 Pink Floyd 5 The Who. I was not referring to RoboCop. Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions get in touch! 1. I am quite sure he loathes two of what I think are the finest composers and performers of rock intrigue in history The Doors and Blue Oyster Cult. Those influences ranged from pointillism to Javanese gamelan music. I hate the Phil-Collins-Genesis-was-a-pop-band stereotype. Pretty influential bands if you ask me. They were incredibly popular and had a huge influence on a lot of early punk bands, especially The Jam. I still dont understand you musical elitists ignoring Jeff Lynne. 25) Small Faces: Small Faces are interesting in that they had immense influence on two different genres of music: mod and psychedelic rock. In fact, the popularity of their bootlegs led to Queens huge popularity in countries where Western music is banned or frowned upon, like Iran or the old Soviet Union. This is so wrong the Beatles are number one then Rolling Stones then something like oasis or blur or pink flloyd. Too Much Too Young and Ghost Town are still great tunes all these years later. Few bands existed from 1964 to 1996, and its only a tiny few that cranked out hit after hit like The Kinks did. For London Calling they straight up tricked cbs records into including a free single which allowed them to squeeze a few more songs in. Even Ultravox and OMD from the past. Here on this list of the alleged 50 greatest British artists of all time I notice the absence of greatness, and not so much whats included because it appears you have to be a freak and an iconoclast and look like a freak to be considered. As mentioned in my comments, Cocteau Twins inspired a whole generation of indie girl singers. 34) T. Rex: Marc Bolan and T. Rex only released four albums, but the number of hit singles they had were extraordinary: "Bang a Gong (Get It On)", "Jeepster", "20th Century Boy", "Telegram Sam", "Hot Love", "Children of the Revolution", and "Metal Guru" to name just a few. Coldplay- Couldnt agree more. And they only had three Top 20 singles. Unique and always willing to change (for better or worse). 21. With his lable Real World Music and all of his solo albums (15 or more), up to and including the New Blood Orchestra, hes done so much more than Phil Collins outside of Genesis. 47) Chuck Berry 8: Porcupine Tree Bands like The Cure and Tears for Fears paved the way for a new generation. . 1. Their core seven albums all charted well. Really? 35) The Replacements Even George Michael should probably be on this list way before many you listed. Led Zeppelin undisputed number 1 and Radiohead way above on the list order. Pshew! I thought you had forgotten about The Clash until I was pleasantly surprised to see them on the top! (Esp. After all, the Cocteau Twins never really had much mainstream success. Maybe I just have a cultural blind spot for The Who but it just seemed like, growing up, they were everyones fifth or sixth favorite band, never anyones favorite band. Period.. [46] Many of these Jamaican-influenced UK bands (such as UB40) adopted pop styles to appeal to mainstream audiences, but some UK reggae bands (such as Steel Pulse) played songs with more confrontational socio-political lyrics. You can take your pick from the rest. Chemical Brothers? They were the anti-Beatles. Although Id consider XTC to be a better band than Bananarama, the girls easily outsold XTC and had a significant (and obvious) influence on female acts. [43] The first industrial artists experimented with noise and controversial topics. The Hollies, Cream and Slade are MIA. Its about music, specifically the 50 best British bands of all time. In 1998, they were added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and for two inconsecutive years (2004 and 2011), they topped Rolling Stones Greatest Artist in History list. SWEET?THIN LIZZY?MOTORHEAD?CREAM?GENESIS????? 19) Creedence Clearwater Revival And Bushs music can be dense and radio-unfriendly. Also, what about Cream and other Eric Clapton ventures ?! The truth is pink floyd(yes that mellow band) cream and deep purple are the reason bands like sabbath came into existence. Easily more fun and listenable than the likes of New Odor and Depeche Commode. As I was reading the list out to my brother, he asked who the author is which I hadnt checked before embarking upon your post and was pleasantly surprsed that youre not from the UK, given the breadth of knowledge demonstrated. Deep Purple. Who- Sadly, I think youre right to put them this far down on the list. I made it! (I like Shy Boy and Robert DeNiros Waiting.) But they did create some of the most unique pop music in British pop culture history. 7) Sex Pistols: The Pistols werent the first punk band. In the early 80s, she packed up her things and, without telling Karn, moved in with lead singer David Sylvian. And strangely, I dont take a lot of exception to your list at all. The floyd are the best band that i have ever heard, but have no qualms with the beatles being top as their hit making was undeniable. I appreciate your taste and you certainly have a deep knowledge of British music. You could include Deep Purple, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, The Kinks after the other masters of music. Oh, well. It might seem incredible that Queen only holds the third spot on our list. And, until the late 80s, the Stones cranked out hit after hit after hit after hit. Influential, maybe, but not that high. A closer listen to the decade that brought us everything from Run-DMC to Mtley Cre to Rick Astley. the fact remains your thoughtful and insightful takes on these artist I thought was right on the money.. Oh add you missed Undertones, Primal Scream and probably a few more all are far too good to have been missed 28: Mike Oldfield Deep Purple and Uriah Heep both missing?? Try harder! As of today, it is the eighth best-selling album of all-time. Future Sound of London? These guys were tight, but seemed to have more personnel issues than Spinal Tap. In my mind, The Who is Wake Forest compared to The Beatles (UNC) and The Rolling Stones (Duke). 27) The Stone Roses: Why? I daresay that one could even call them The Beatles of Electronic Pop, at least as far as their influence on modern bands is concerned. Muse especially. The band was a huge inspiration for these artists. The band worked out an agreement to sample an orchestral version of the Rolling Stones song The Last Time for their single Bitter Sweet Symphony. And I cant say that I blame them. Because if you take New Order out of the picture, The Stone Roses were my favorite Madchester band. 42) Manic Street Preachers: Yeah, these guys were a blip on college radio in the US for a brief period back in the 90s. Genesis didnt influence any major bands until the late 70s early 80s (i.e Marillion). Little kids liked him. Not that Im a Clapton fan. The cause of death was asphyxiation from vomit after a heavy night of drinking the night before. Popularity, cultural significance, songwriting ability , sales. What if you dont really like the Beatles? 40. Beatles #1 and Joy Division #2 , thats all I have to say on this. Where is Echo & the BunnyMen, The Cult, Def Leppard, or Bush?? quite a shitty list.as no mention of deep purple, Judas priest, Iron maiden. 1 band. 43: Ub40 Elisabeth Fraser even recognized she had a tattoo with Siouxsie on her arm! I know you also gotta hate the Eagles. With Peter Gabriel they lacked success and it was reason PG left. 10. The girls are still together after 33 years too, so theyre one of the few bands on this list that are still making new music! Joe Jackson? Pistols- Uh, FUCK yeah! What a boring bastard band if ever I heard of one. New Order *are* on the list, at #14. 39) Dead Kennedys As you can see, the 1980s was a decade that saw the rise of many iconic British rock bands. Big Audio Dynamite. Gabriel and Collins are included under Genesis. Theres little fun in trying to make a list of something where you dont like any of the bands on it. To claim that Stone Roses were influenced by Pixies is so shockingly wrong that I wonder if youve really heard both bands. It was almost as if mothers would have been proud to have their daughters bring home John, Paul, George or Ringo. Some of the most successful post punk bands in the 1970s, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo & the Bunnymen and The Psychedelic Furs, also continued their success during the 1980s.Members of Bauhaus and Joy Division explored new stylistic territory as Love and Rockets and New Order respectively.
