Battle Of The British Bands

[n_huffhines]

This is so hard

Beatles, Floyd, and Cream/Stones/Queen/Zombies/Who roulette for the 3 spot

Today I found out Fleetwood Mac and Def Leppard were British. Had no idea.

 

[TC 83]

Great thread. Brit bands have always been my favorites. Can’t list 3 though—too hard.

 

[TC 83]

Led Zeppelin, Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen

Others have already saved Pink Floyd, The Clash and The Who, so I am pretty well covered.

Would appreciate it if someone could save Black Sabbath, The Stone Roses and The Smiths.

The 1st time I heard I Wanna Be Adored in early 2000s I was hooked on SRs. That guitar tone is so perfect.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Uriah Heep, Black Sabbath, Queen

runners up: Maiden, Priest, Muse

Truth be told..too many good English rock bands to really get a definitive only 3 list..I mean how many on here have influenced thousands?

 

[volinbham]

I'll go

Kinks
Stranglers
Buzzcocks

If you really want to learn something new - check out Fleetwood Mac from the Peter Green era; nothing like what people think of as FM

Yeah, I've heard people I love (Marc Maron and Lorde come to mind) talk about those days as the best for FM. I'll check it out.

Lorde? The New Zealand female singer?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Queen, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac. And for me personally it ain't even close.

 

[volinbham]

Here's one nobody knows is originally Fleetwood Mac



made famous by Santana - the singer of the Santana version is Greg Rolle who later found fame along with Santana band mate Neal Schon in Journey

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Floyd. Led Zep. Probably Stones by a whisker over the Beatles. Black Sabbath and The Who after those 4.

 

[Godfatha]

Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Stone Roses

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Iron Maiden FTW!

 

[OrangeTsar]

LED Zeppelin, Slade, the Who

 

[Burhead]

Beatles, Clash, and the Stones.

 

[NorCalVol67]

After seeing this thread pop back up, I put on The Kinks One for the Road.

 

[MAD]

Dire Straits
UB40
Human League

 

[OrangeTsar]

Was Spinal Tap supposed to be British?

 

[SmokeyGrayCA]

Blur are my favorite band of all time, loved them since their first album.
Also keep Suede and B&S based on their recent albums.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Where's The Business?

 

[kiddiedoc]

Pink Floyd, Def Leppard, Whitesnake

 

[Go aeiou]

Beatles, PF, Led Zep, Yes

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden

If you expanded it to include Ireland and a fourth band, I would nominate Thin Lizzy

 

[Majors]

Broken up into decades but a flaw in not having Bush makes it irrelevant
70's Fleetwood Mac, LZ
80's Fleetwood Mac, Def Leppard, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, The Human League, The Police and Whitesnake
90's Oasis, Prodigy and The Verve
2000's to now Coldplay

Winner- Fleetwood Mac for crossing over many decades and still going strong
