Best of British

[Durera]

<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>Well, as we&#39;ve seen, for MF it&#39;s Status Quo (?&#33;&#33;) who in your opinion is the greatest British band ever?

Big can of worms, will it be one of the oldies, or someone more recent??

I&#39;m going for the Kinks meself, frankly it amazes me that they were not even bigger... and Ray Davies must go down as the creator of Heavy Metal/Rock etc. To prove this, just look at the riff&#39;s behind some of their biggest songs...</span>

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

The Jam. End of story.

WS

 

[Napster]

Ian Dury and The Blockheads.

 

[Groyne Strain]

Rolling Stones.

Toss up between The Stones &amp; Led Zep for me. Though Queen will always hold a special place in my heart. The three of them are fairly different so I guess it depends what mood you&#39;re in.

As for todays bands, Radiohead and Orbital for me are contenders to be rembered as long as those listed above.

 

[Andu]

Deep Purple

 

[Mad Cyril]

808 state.

Or the Rolling stones.

 

[Guest]

Steps or s-Club 7 although my current faves are &#39;fast food rockers&#39;

 

[Shagster69]

Oasis, Blur, Beatles.

90&#39;s techno pioneers. The good kind of techno as opposed to 2Unlimited.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Queen, by a long, long way

Has to be either Blur or Feeder for me. Would U2 count?&#33;&#33;

Feeder are so sh*t I don&#39;t know where to start.

He&#39;s got a CD player, player, player, player.

Strokers.

If they came down my local they wouldn&#39;t get 7 days in the sun.

They&#39;d get 3 weeks in hospital.

 

[Wessex Blue]

Stone Roses for me&#33;
What about your best bands in each decade?
Small Faces - 60&#39;s
Jam - 70 - 80&#39;s
Stone Roses - 80&#39;s - early nineties
Electric 6 - noughties

<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>Ah&#33; The memories&#33; Feeder at the Army &amp; Navy with only about 30 others&#33;

Blur at the Cliffs&#33;&#33;

Neither&#39;d get my vote though... Feeder just can&#39;t hack it against their peers...

Blur IMHO are great, BUT&#33; the only album with any lasting power is (ironically) Modern Life...</span>

 

[Durera]

<span style='font-family:comic sans ms'>And NO, U2 do not count... For one they&#39;re Irish, rather than Northern (so Ash would count), and secondly they released Discotheque&#33;</span>
