Best British Band/Artist of all time?

Personally.

Enter Shikari.

What about you guys?

 

The Who
Led Zeppelin
Queen
T Rex
Bowie
There all good

 

Good, but do you think the best?

 

The Who, Led Zep and Bowie are all contenders, but frankly you'd have to make a pretty persuasive case for anyone other than the Beatles.

 

Beatles...influential yeah...
the best ???
maybe ....The sensational alex harvey band

 

The Who
Pink Floyd
Deep Purple

 

it would be really hard to not pick the beatles.
if you were going for pure guitar skills, you might pick the yard birds, who spawned jeff beck, eric clapton, and led zepplin.
i guess you could pick the grateful dead since they all speak english.

 

Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits would definitely be in the running.

 

The levellers

 

Only because I'd be firing a high powered rifle at them...

 

For the last time dude, your penis is not a high-powered rifle.

 

Ooo, Eric "Coffee" Clapton is another good one.

 

Who clearly needs to be shot:tongue:

 

Just ask me about his nickname then shut the hell up so I can get to the hilarious punchline.

 

Pink Floyd, obviously, but also Traffic

 

robert fripp and any project he is associated with

 

It's The Beatles - No question about it.

Wether what you're judging is music, influence, sheer bop-a-bility - It don't matter. Those four lads are the best thing about British music. Their songwriting ability alone makes them number one in my book. Not to mention their strive to make music more experimental.

Pink Floyd and Radiohead make a decent challenge, but so far, neither have surpassed

 

Pink Floyd.

 

Richard Wright, a founder member of Pink Floyd, died today at the age of 65 after battling cancer, his spokesman said.
Wright played the keyboard with the legendary band and wrote music in classic albums like the Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here.

 

Also The Clash.
