Topic: The Best British Band Of All Time...

The Beatles, The Smiths, The Stones or The Cure

It's The Cure and The Smiths for me.

You ?

The Jam, Queen, Floyd, Cream and Zeppelin. In no order.

Queen, The Beatles, The Who, Black Sabbath with Ozzy.

Oasis and James for me

@GarbonZoni Man! Cream, that's a niiice choice!

The Beatles are the greatest, but I listen to the Stones and Pink Floyd more often.

Stones.

Augment with The Clash, The Kinks, and Radiohead.

Radiohead, The Cure, Joy Division, Smiths.

Does it include Wales? If yes, Manic Street Preachers.

Queen for me at the moment. I've been listening to The Platinum Collection while out on runs and in the car.

Lots of other great suggestions in this thread even if Queen is still top dog for me atm. Radiohead, Joy Division and Pink Floyd among others. Id probably throw Muse up there too

Tough choice which i think is the best, but i think my top 3 would be: Queen, Radiohead & Coldplay

@ralphdibny It's a really tough one isn't it. I know its all preference, but we have had so many good bands and singers over the last 60-70 odd years its easy to forget some.

I've had the Specials on for a few hours today. I miss a bit of Ska.

I'm not British but my favorite is Muse. I've seen them twice and they are incredible.

@Nancyboy The Kinks are awesome, man!

@GarbonZoni I would have said Bowie too but the question says band!

@Mundaney Muse are British! I think they are from Devon

@ralphdibny I meant I am not british, but to me Muse is the best.

@Mundaney ah fair play. I'm glad they are getting some love across the pond!

@ralphdibny He had the Spiders from Mars for a little while. Yeah Muse are up there too. It's weird. I like a lot of 60/70's, loads from the 80's and 90's but since around 2005 ish, I haven't really picked up any new bands.
Someone should start a thread for US bands. Some Gold there too.

@GarbonZoni same really but probably a bit later for me, like 2008-2011 but even then, most bands from that era were probably one hit wonders. I just figured that I liked what I liked by that point. No new rap or rock has really grabbed me after that apart from albums by artists that existed before then. There has been a few stand out pop songs since though

My taste is really random actually. I still like basically everything that I liked through the different phases of my formative years...

The most recent albums I've been listening to have been

Queen - Platinum Collection
MJ - Essential Collection
Bowie - Platinum Collection
Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething
Johnny Cash - the various American Recordings CDs but mainly American IV and the Greatest Hits
Eminem - Encore/Relapse (I wasn't too hot on these at release after the first 3 albums but I've really come to appreciate them later in life)
Elliott Smith - most of the albums but mainly Figure 8 and From a Basement on a Hill
Muse - most of the albums but mainly The 2nd Law

I'd like to add The Prodigy in to the mix too. Some belting tunes from these guys.

@crippyd oh my days, yes!

I always put on Invaders Must Die if I need to get something done quickly 😅
