WHATS THE BEST BRITISH BAND today?

Started by MornGlory5 pages

all the roads we have to walk are winding
and
all the lights that lead the way are blinding
there are many things that I would like to say to you
but I don't know how
cause maybe
you are going to be the one that saves me ...

This poll is not a true reflection of the many great British bands out there. I cant find a decent one in that list, is this a sick joke? Wetlife shouldnt even be metioned in these forums unless its to say how shite they are. Along with the decent bands the other posters have mentioned id like to add Massive Attack, Portishead and Morcheeba.

Franz Ferdinand are s**t!!!

sorry I still love Oasis

they are having a small tour next summer -in england-wish i could go- i wish they would come to America but probably wont

Franz Ferdinand are possibly the only BAND on there.

and even they are god awful, being franz ferdinands bassist and/or drummer has to be the easiest job in the world, 2nd maybe to meg white's position

Eighties Match B-Line Disaster all the way.

the fact that this band werent even on the list shows how poor this list is

Best British band right now is possibly Keane. But that could all change tomorrow.

Actually Razorlight are pretty good as well.

"Best British band right now is possibly Keane."

Are you absolutely serious? I thought they were candidates for the most awful. When you consider best british band in the world TODAY, would include Radiohead, Muse, The Cure, Iron Maiden, Franz Ferdinand (who I don't even like), The Darkness, Colour Of Fire.

Colour Of Fire, although I doubt any of you have heard of them yet (you may have), are in the top 5 quite easily I think.

i dunno if you guys just dont like them or something but the most succesful british band at the moment is Coldplay... surely they should be on the list although its prob an insult to be on that list.

Muse and iron maiden as well!!! - completely forgot about them until i read AC's post.

Coldplay are Westlife in disguise, Chris Martin himself has said it.

Total shit.

Radiohead are overated tripe, up there with Oasis and The Sex Pistols (oh and Coldplay).

Also where are The Wildhearts and Motorhead ? (Tsk, Tsk)

I just saw the video for Busted- Thats what I go to school for... or whatever it is called - and it was so craptastic!!!!!!!

they all looked like shit

"Radiohead are overated tripe"

Quite hilarious.

After meeting and analysing all the people who do call Radiohead overrated, tripe or the two together, I've realised something.

You either don't understand their material or don't have the depth perception to handle it. If Maiden is all you can handle then fair enough but don't go dissing bands just coz you lack whatever it takes to understand em.

Just 'cos i don't like or listein to a certain band doesn't mean i'm any less of a music fan then the next, and yes i do understand there music but the whole depressive music is so boring and mundane, and as i said i listein to alot more bands then just Maiden if you actually bothered to listein to people instead of putting everyone down you'd notice other bands they like.

Funny because alot of Radiohead stuff is actually positive when you get into it. Once again, you label them depressive just like everyone else who doesn't try.

From what i've listeined too doesn't really strike me as positive music, and don't say i don't try you don't know me so don't label me, as labelling seems something you are quite keen on.

Well either way depressive is all in how you take it. To me Radiohead produce at most, melancholic music. Never depressive.

If you get depressed by Radiohead then that's not too good at all.

But to each their own.
