scott_saints Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 (edited) What is your top 10?? (No right or wrong answers....just the music you like most!) Mine is as follows: Stone Roses The Beatles The Jam Oasis The Smiths The Clash The Who Joy Division Rolling Stones Queen I tried to put them in some sort of order but it would probably change every time! I also feel bad about leaving out so many "big names" and probably could have done a top 50!! Edited 18 February, 2009 by scott_saints
jeff leopard Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 here's my top 10 british bands. well, seven bands and three solo acts. radiohead buzzkocks the smiths the clash my bloody valentine spiritualised joy division syd barrett four tet clark the ten british bands which I dearly loved during my youth but don't listen to anymore. iron maiden orbital the chameleons underworld status quo carter usm pink floyd the wedding present magnum queen
Ludwig Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Radiohead The Beatles The Kinks The Cure Joy Division The Smiths Belle & Sebastian Super Furry Animals REM Pink Floyd
the stain Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Radiohead The Beatles The Kinks The Cure Joy Division The Smiths Belle & Sebastian Super Furry Animals REM Pink Floyd ERM...:confused:
the stain Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 OK' date=' Pavement then.[/quote'] I can't think of an anagram based response to that.
saint lard Posted 18 February, 2009 Posted 18 February, 2009 Pink Floyd. Black Sabbath/Ozzy. Queen. Def Leppard. Genesis. Led Zepp. Thin Lizzy. Rainbow. Iron Maiden Motorhead.
TheCholulaKid Posted 19 February, 2009 Posted 19 February, 2009 OK' date=' Pavement then.[/quote'] Try again. Can't be bothered to list my 10 but Carter USM was a good call - would've been top of my list nearly 20 years ago (Christ!!) Spend most of my time listening to American bands these days - much more varied and interesting music than the ****e we get served up here by the idiots in the British music press.
Hamilton Saint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 The Beatles The Who The Rolling Stones The Kinks Fairport Convention Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin Cream The Clash Radiohead
Julian H. Cope Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 It's too hard. I can't do it without the fear of offending myself. Now if it was a top 50, no problem.Good thread though.
the stain Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 I think it should be split by home nation. My favourite Welsh bands/artists... Super Furry Animals Gorky's John Cale er... Man? This isn't going to work.
fish fingers Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 I think it should be split by home nation. My favourite Welsh bands/artists... Super Furry Animals Gorky's John Cale er... Man? This isn't going to work. Tom Jones?

This isn't going to work. Tom Jones Max Boyce Lloyd Coal and the Locomotions Johnny Hates Jazz (and phuking despises the English) Duffy (i admit, i was just being stupid with the last one)
the stain Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 The Scottish one would be easy... Fannies Belle & Sebastian Cocteaus Mogwai F-u-ckiiiing loads of them. Only problem with this is when you come to someone like MBV, who come from different countries. Miscegenating bastards.
SuperMikey Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Ash Bloc Party Biffy Clyro Guillemots The Cribs Lightspeed Champion Radiohead Muse The Jam/The Style Council Blur That was more difficult than I thought it would be!
Julian H. Cope Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 The Primitives. Ahhhhhh,Tracy Tracy.I ruined many a sock over her.
bpsaint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Muse The Stones Queen Oasis Coldplay Snow Patrol The Beatles LostProphets Stereophonics Iron Maiden
St Landrew Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 It's too hard. I can't do it without the fear of offending myself. Now if it was a top 50, no problem.Good thread though. Not sure I could do a top 50 either. 5 minutes after I'd settled on a top 50, another band would pop into my head and I'd be sent into a quandary again. It's all mood dependent anyway.
jeff leopard Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 The Kinks Very good call, few bands are so gloriously British. Their influence on our punk/new wave/indie/break-core has been immense. Spend most of my time listening to American bands these days - much more varied and interesting music than the ****e we get served up here by the idiots in the British music press. Sad but true, the current scene is pretty dire. All the interesting stuff formally known as indie is coming out of the US. I just can't see a British band this year offering anything nearly as inventive and beautifully weird as the latest Animal Collective album. And whilst I admit the brits has never been a celebration of forward thinking, 09 is undoubtedly the year BEIGE ROCK BLOWS UP IN ALL OF OUT SH1T. weller, duffy, elbow. its not just the economy that's phucked
Evil Monkey Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 I think it should be split by home nation. My favourite Welsh bands/artists... Super Furry Animals Gorky's John Cale er... Man? This isn't going to work. Stereophonics? Feeder? I'm sure some members of these bands are sheep ****gers.
Deppo Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Stereophonics? Feeder? I'm sure some members of these bands are sheep ****gers. Yes, but they're ****.
Junction 9 Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 You all appear to have overlooked Dodgy.

They really are a class act, and some fans seem to be falling out of love with them because of their (well deserved) recent recognition. Listen to 'The Bones Of You' and 'Asleep In The Back' and tell me that Elbow can be grouped with the likes of Duffy.
scott_saints Posted 23 February, 2009 Author Posted 23 February, 2009 You all appear to have overlooked Dodgy. They weren't good enough for me.

Barney Trubble Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 No one mentioned Depeche Mode :confused: New single & album out in April & at the O2 in may New single was premiered at some award ceremony in Berlin on Saturday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-f0Edu8J_E Absolute quality :cool: Totally agree Warsash, great band and totally underrated. There will be bands stating Depeche Mode as their influence for years to come, especially in the next few years. The new single is great, back to the more barbed sound that I like with Depeche Mode. I doubt they'll ever beat 'Music for the Masses' but if 'Wrong' is an indiator for SOTU then i'm going to be very impressed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bsXOcK9_Cw
