Best British Rock Band

[ShyGuy68]

I read an article recently about a vote that had been about who was boted the Best British Rock Band. And out of curiousity I thought it could be fun to do the same vote here, and see if you all agree.

Queen. Hands down.
The older guys will say The Beatles or The Rolling Stones.
The gay guys will say Take That.
If anyone votes Oasis then they're to young to be on this site.

The Beatles influenced all of the following bands up there.

Therefore, they win.

 

[C.S.]

The Rolling Stones, because the Beatles were a pop group.

Too young to be here if you vote oasis.. What would be your age limit then.. 35?

Oasis were the band of my generation, but I gotta go with the stones..

 

[shaggy78]

stones have more attitude than the beatles, cant really compare oasis to them or the beatles, but got to give big shout out to my personal faves the stone roses and the man ian brown!

ps i'm in a band.

dude you forgot sooooo many...
my fave brit rock band is the who!
cant cound beatles they were mods.... remember the mods rocker riot???

 

[chris9]

Queen. My mom would kill me for even thinking of not taking the Beatles. And I did think about Take That though I never really like them. But that's probably an age thing.

I have to agree in part with matt......

There are alot of other bands that should or "must" be included...are the ones you posted from the article or just "personal" favorites?

Led Zepplin, Def Lepard, Black Sabbath, Cream to name a few.....

 

[Damariscotta]

Of the groups listed, Queen. But only the classic version, not that abomination that's out there now.

 

[College_geek]

I'm 21 and still gonna have to say the Beatles cause that's what I was raised on. But if I got to choose 2, I'd say them and Queen. I was never a huge Stones fan. They have a few songs that I really like, but I remember Satisfaction being ranked the #1 rock song of all time, and I don't agree with that at all. ^^()

 

[boilerup9190]

The Who!

It's gotta be the Who!

Eric Clapton - Layla

Great instrumentals.

 

[chris9]

Took me a while, but I finally found Queen, Greatest Hits II in this mess.

They were the bands from the article, which is why I picked those.

 

[KinkyBoyUK]

kinks, clash, jam, specials

Gotta love the roses too... I definately have them above oasis.. if not higher.

I go with the Beatles.

 

[Powertone]

if you were to ask anyone to name the quintessential british rock band there's only 1 band that'd be named more than any other...the kinks.

no,but seriously,folks...J P G & R by far.

[woxyroxme]

My vote would be for Yes with Pink Floyd a close second.

The article did a dis-service to many great bands.

However, I picked my favorite from their list.

 

[Not Normal]

Its hard for me to choose between the Stones and Queen on that list. Zeppelin is probably my favorite British band though.

Of course the Beatles have had the biggest influence on popular music...

I kind of wouldn't have a job without them.
