Jammin' out on this earliy Monday morming to some Troggs, New Vaudville Band & Herman's Hermits & it got me to-a-thinking (scary!...I know!!!! ) how many UK/British groups I love & wondered what ya'll like.


Besides the older (ancient <----- ...sorry adoggie!!) groups I've already listed, there are many new British artists I love....Seems we've had an influx of Britiansh artists once again the last few years.....A few that are in my playlist are Adele, Duffy & Lily Allen. (i know i have many more, but, feeling lazy...lol)

So, who ya like?

[lepiota]

Don't have many recent one that come to mind, but Tears For Fears and Oasis was good. (But I think that is because they are influenced by the un-named group that starts with B' and inds in 'eatles. Also, ALL Metal and Rock bands rip off Led Zeppelin so of course them too.

[Wilco98]

Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Queen
Pink Floyd
Def Leppard
The Zombies

[Duh Huh Dull Sucks]

Spice Girls?

[Osu4me]

I once thought Devo was british but turns out they are Ohio boys who started the band as a joke from Kent State!! LOL!!!

[Osu4me]

does anyone remember a group that I beleive was British but could have been American. They really only one 1 hit (I think) and the video was
mostly filmed on a street corner. There was alot of foot smacking in the video....It was kind of punk rock new wave music. Tt was a boy girl band and the lead singer had long black hair. Everyone
in the group wore really funky clothes that was most mix matched. I loved the song but just can't remember the groups name or the song.
It was in the top 5 some where around the early to mid 80's.

For me, this is pretty simple.

Led Zeppelin
Beatles
The Who
Cream
Jimi Hendrix
Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Joe Cocker

Oasis, FABULOUS!!!

Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the Brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out "

Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Queen
Pink Floyd
Def Leppard
The Zombies

All great calls, again, but, as most prolly know, I''m the odd duck out on the Beatles.

Spice Girls?

I always feel so weird 'cause I have never cared for jimi, amd just a tad bit more for the beatles...... don't understand why i'm so off...??!!??! LOL

Beatles
Herman Hermits
Moody Blues

MOODY BLUES!!!

[Mo-Problems]

Jimi Hendrix is AMERICAN!!

I do occasionally mess up on music but this isn't one of them. Jimi is from the US but moved to London. This is where he formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience. If it weren't for the blues movement in England (which spurned the British Invasion to the US), we may have never known who Jimi Hendrix was. He's as much a part of the British Invasion as the Beatles.

I find it kinda funny that i'm not really a fan of neither them two, too.....lol..... what can i say? "I'm Strange"!! (Doors)

also, whomever stated the Kinks.... Still listen to lots of Davie's stuff....they've had a few things they've put out over the last several years. although, not together.

Music is all a personal taste. I'm not a real big fan of the Stones anymore either but there are a few of their songs I still love. Musically, they're outstanding. Songs are just a little "old" to me.

"Fire" by Jimi Hendrix is just such a great song to me. Killer bass line, fast paced & energetic drumming, and Jimi killin' the 6 strings. That was the song that started my liking for Hendrix and the rest after just seemed so easy to listen to.



Your lack of enthusiasm for the Beatles is hard for me to understand. But that's just me. I know a lot of people that aren't big fans so you're not alone. I just don't understand it. Their harmonies on almost every song is a beautiful thing.

Here's a few I think about anyone could listen to:

I've recently had it put to me quite simply, & I think, fairly accurately; "I've found that those that prefer The Beatles aren't Stones fans, & vise-versa" ....
Since I was mentioned that, I've found it quite true in makimg comparisons.... That was a very insightful man, apparently!!!

btw...Annie Lennox, although I preferred her as/with the Eurythmics, what a unique sound! Def one of my favorite female vocalists...& performers!

Yes, The Eurythmics were unique. Missonary Man was a messmerising video. How about the Cranberries? I think they might be Irish but there sound is unique. And thinking of Irish made me think of Enya (unique also).

As for the Beatles and the Stones, I always liked the Beatles more, but I've heard songs from both groups for so many years over and over that I am tired of both.

(not that i haven't heard them each a MILLION times, but, JUST to give them 1 more chance, mo-for u). i listened again.... not a change at all....just does nothing for me..... especially, hendrix..... i've heard that song thousands of times while ppl wail/flail.... i just don't get it....????

Cranberries very good, too! That reminded me of Natalie Merchant, (which I thought she may be British too, but, did a quick search, & I guess not....... But, what a talent, anyway!!??!!feast your beast! VVVVVVVV
