Synthesizer Patel Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 As a lot of you seem unsure - 'Britain' actually means England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland. Unless the topic-maker meant 'English Bands' and said that by a mistake. Anyway, assuming it's correct: The BeatlesFairport Convention (including Sandy Denny solo, and early Richard Thompson with his wife - cheating, i know)The KinksThe Super Furry Animals (including solo Gruff - cheating)The Incredible String BandVan MorrisonLed ZeppelinBert Jansch (including Pentangle - more cheating)Brian Eno (including early Roxy Music - and yet more cheating)John Cale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the topic-maker meant 'English Bands' and said that by a mistake. Eh, no it doesn't. Britain is England, Wales and Scotland. You are confusing Britain with the United Kingdom (which is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Spacemen 3 Wow, first time I've seen Spacemen 3 mentioned on this forum! Probably my favourite band ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Spacemen 3 are great. I also like The Jam,The ClashMega City FourPJ Harvey and the ones that everybody knows but you can't ignore Nick DrakeRadioheadBeatlesStonesKinks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ...and the ones that everybody knows but you can't ignore ...Radiohead...Not a Radiohead fan.They are not even in the same ballpark as the other ones that you mentioned, as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thingfishp Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Kind of surprised that King Crimson didn't show up here somewhere. If solo artists are being considered, then Jeff Beck must be added to the list; if not, then the Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart, Ron Wood and Nicky Hopkins will do. IF we're going UK, then I've got to add Rory Gallagher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
