Firstly, a ‘band’ is not a solo artist. Rock monsters Led Zeppelin are one of the greatest, hardest rock bands ever, and the four individual... 3. You’re absolutely off you’re fucking rocker dude, c’mon. Not better than, just different. Really? Wow.
2: Pink Floyd So the Clash are one but you don’t name a song or act they inspired. (Not even a shout out to Simple Minds, damn.)
You must be fuckin’ mad. The Who. My Life Story: Jack Shillingford apparently assembled his mini indie orchestra by stopping people on the London underground carrying musical instruments under their arms during the early 90s. I don’t think so.I like Journey, Van Halen, Kiss, Cheap Trick, and Ramones. !!!!
They aren’t recognized enough for what they have done. Clash?
One of my favorite stories about the band is actually about their fans. I don’t know if I would go quite that far, but the fact is that The Smiths just might be the biggest cult band of all time. It was the first time I felt I heard something come across the radio that mirrored my home life, my childhood.”) I don’t know if I’d go quite as far as to call them the “British Doors”, but there are certainly a lot of similarities in sound between the two bands. Thirdly, whilst your choices are your own, and I love The Clash, you stated that your ranking was based on many things including record sales (and I presume the band’s legacy), seriously there is no way in this earth that the clash rank top. 19) Madness: The nutty boys from Camden Town are yet another band thought of as a “One-Hit Wonder” in the United States, but consider this: they’ve had 22 Top 20 singles in the UK, and 15 of those made it to the Top 10. 47) Chuck Berry
Genesis- I don’t like either version of this band.
Personally, my favorite band now and forever will be the beatles. Campag Velocet: Towards the end of the 90’s Pete Voss’ Portsmouth prowlers were unlikely NME cover stars, imbuing the menace of A Clockwork Orange had Alex’s droogs developed an unhealthy fetish for cycling gear. Jethro Tull are one obvious overlooked prog rock band.
This is a bold thing to do and of course very controversial and impossible really as there are so many factors to consider when defining “best”. UK garage originated from England, particularly in London in the early 1990s and emerged from styles such as garage house, R&B, jungle, and dance-pop, and usually features a distinctive 4/4 percussive rhythm with syncopated hi-hats, cymbals and snares, and sometimes includes irregular kick drum patterns. Haines says he’ll never reform the Auteurs, a pity given none of his records (except maybe Baader Meinhof) have come close to the diabolical brilliance of the band’s four underrated albums.
The band were gigantic in their day.
One wonders, however, if they’d be ranked as high as they are on this list if Richey Edwards hadn’t mysteriously disappeared. Ray Davies might be one of the best, most eloquent songwriters in English music… like, ever. [36], After the establishment of thriving south Asian music scenes in the 1980s, the 1990s saw Indian music reach the mainstream, particularly through a series of "post-Bhangra" fusions.
FUCK YOU COLDPLAY IS THE BEST AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION BITCH.
[27] The 1990s also saw the development and refinement of IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), which borrowed from forms such as techno, drum and bass, and acid house music and introduced more abstract elements, including heavy use of digital signal processing.
Here’s a quick top 50 based mostly on my enjoyment. While the Fab Four were singing safe, cheery songs like “Can’t Buy Me Love”, the Stones played dirty, sexy rock and roll heavily inspired by American R&B.
But the next one you talk about is Difford and Tilbrook. The 90s brought great joy, great music and great fashion. [ducks and runs]. I saw them live in ’07 and despite the lack of Keith and John E., they still rocked the joint. Rialto: Louis Eliot of Rialto was so posh he made George Osborne look like Ozzy Osbourne – his surname comes from the Port Eliot family of the famous Cornish literary festival.
For example, the opening riff of Animals inspired a young David Evans to go out and buy his first delay pedal (you probably know him better as “The Edge”). Given the relatively low bar associated with this list I would have included the collective work of the Beat, the English Beat and the Fine Young Cannibals just as good if not better than the Specials, Madness or the Jam. (among which many of my favourite bands) That comforts me even more in the idea that british are the best for music, period. The Clash at number one? Which is fitting in a way. 9: The Clash
White Town: What a peculiar tale this was, and one that could only really have happened in the 90s because a) people still gave a hoot about the charts and b) Mark Radcliffe had power. Shack even signed to Noel Gallagher’s Sour Mash label alongside those other notorious non starters, Proud Mary.
SWEET?THIN LIZZY?MOTORHEAD?CREAM?GENESIS????? Artists by total number of weeks at number-one, Songs by total number weeks at number one, The artist, song name, date of number-one and duration are those given by. This is an alphabetically ordered list of bands. The Auteurs: Luke Haines brought his acerbic songs to the Britpop party. As you said, they were musically adventurous and always different.
4) The Ramones I mean, obviusly you can, but they are not as huge as other bands you have on the list. For me, The Jam and The Smiths need to move up the list by a lot !
THE BEATLES , STONES, PINK FLOYD, THE CLASH , VAN HALEN, DEF LEPPARD, AC/DC, TEAR FOR FEARS, JOY DIVISION , THE CURE , THE CARS, AND DURAN DURAN, ETC… ALL VERY GREAT IN THERE OWN DIFFERENT MUSIC AND STYLES!. 36) The Happy Mondays: To paraphrase the old joke: if you can remember The Happy Mondays, you weren’t there. 11) Big Star 26) Iron Maiden: I’m not a metal fan. 60 million or so albums sold. In a world of Kate Nashes, Pixie Lotts, Amy Winehouses and Lilly Allens, it’s easy to forget that Kate Bush was the first female British solo artist to ever top the UK album charts, and was the first female artist (British or not) to enter the UK album charts at #1.
