best british bands of all time

best british bands eva...extremely hard vote butwho do u pick???
i would vote for thin lizzy!

The Who.

BEATLES!!!!!!!!

they made rock and roll what it is today, the beatles were the greatest and most influential act of the rock era. they introduced more innovations into popular music they any other rock band of the 20th century. they made rock an international phenomenon!!!!!!!

I pick the beatles!

STATUS QUO!!!! They've been going for over forty years, and they're still good... they still sell out venues, and have avoided becoming their own tribute band, unlike the stones... and lets be honest, wherever you go in the world, you'll hear the Quo.....

The Clash, The Who, The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeplin, and Pink Floyd

no other compares to LED ZEPPELIN

Agreed. There are very few bands in the whole world, not just Britain, that come close to Zep.

Beatles and Zeplin

The Beatles- it never fails to amaze me what a huge impact they had on the world in such a short time.

Beatles--hands down

No one has the discography that they have. They showed marked changes from their early "Beatles for Sale" days--where they wrote perfect bubble gum pop songs ("She Loves Me", "Help", etc.)--to the post Revolver era, where they wrote numerous albums that the best Rolling Stones, Who, or Led Zeppelin album cannot compare to (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was one of the defining moments of the 1960s). There was infighting that caused a fractured double album that is still considered a classic today (The White Album) where they showed that George Harrison himself was a brilliant songwriter. Even when they stopped caring about their sound (They all gave up on Let It Be, so Spector came in and added his normal over the top garishness), somehow the songwriting still broke through. Finally, Abbey Road was written in the "old" Beatles style, and showed just how much they could do. From the opening notes of Come Together, to the quick, joking, ending of "Her Majesty", Abbey Road was perhaps the best description of The Beatles.

The Beatles directly paved the way for pretty much every band on this list, and none of the other bands could compare with the songwriting of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting team.

^that's quite an impressive breakdown of their work. Are you secretly McCarts??

Kate xx

No, just someone with WAY too much time on his hands

btw, now i'm listening to Let It Be..Naked

^I was a bit shocked by the honesty of that comment but then i realised you meant the stripped down version of the song...

Kate xx

you haven't heard the Let It Be...Naked album? it was released a couple months back, and it's Let It Be without the Spector influence.

If that was aimed at me- I havent heard it but i'm aware that it was released.

if you like led zepplin, listen to some old blues.

in some cases they take the entire blues riff and plug it into a song.
