Artic Monkeys

>>729621958
They're are a great band but Britain has too many good bands to pick one ultimate. Blur would be up there though. Arctic Monekys as well.

There is no band called the Beetles, retard,

>>729621958
Of all time? If so it is not Blur and it is The Beatles but if it is bands that are still technically together I would say Led Zeppelin (they played in 2013) but if it is band that still regularly tour then it would be The Stone Roses.

Past? That would be the beatles, followed by pink floyd.
Present? That would be jake bugg, followed by the artic monkeys

>>729624811
My friend, for a second just sit back and try to use your limited imagination. Imagine being a teenager in grey, depressing, economically fucked 60's Britain. Nothing has really changed since the war, the politicians, culture and future prospects are identical. You have to do national service to try to maintain an empire that the entire world can see is falling apart. And then, from a shitty background in a shitty city just like yours, come the Beatles. The first new thing to happen since people started listening to Jazz. They blew culture out of the water and jump started a global revolution. I promise you, everyone from Adele to Snoop Dogg to Immortal have been inspired in some way by The Beatles. Educate yourself and get some fucking culture, pleb.

>>729625032
Nah m8, just plebs. Majority of metalheads I know listen to and accept all kinds of music.

anon is correct its blur plebs

>>729621958
One direction omg :3 wtf is blur xD

Two words
The. Doors.
Best 60s band.

>>729624845
Saw them at Download, and again in January at the O2. Not the best concerts I've been to, they were lacking in energy due to the fucking titanic amounts of chemicals they've taken over their lives. But I'll never forget seeing them.

>>729625095
This guy gets it

>>729625470
The Doors, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, The Kinks, Pink Floyd.

Those were interesting times.

>>729625095
Babbys first step into britpop

>>729623992
ha haha, good joke. They were so popular in The UK that they had to go to the States where their shit would actually get air play.

>>729625756
You are forgetting the zombies my good man. Which happen to be the best band of the 60s

>>729625930
Apart from all the others.They only had one good tune.

>>729626035
I am not sure we are thinking of the same band here

>>729626203
They did "she's not there" and what else?

>>729626387
Diffrerentfag here. Time of the Season was another big hit. They were pretty fucking good t.b.h.

Blur? Not a single ounce of talent in any of them. No idea how they are successful. Gorillaz on the other hand, there's a talented group...

>>729621958
>Kasabian
>Artic Monkeys
>Oasis
>Kaiser Chiefs
OP there r to many good English bands for ur pathetic blur

>>729626564
They ain't The Stones though are they?, never as big as them and never had as many hits.

>>729625095
This guy clearly doesn't understand the word ''greatest''. These are ''very good'' bands not ''great''.

>>729627323
Are you dense sir? We went off topic to talk about other good bands. Calm your tits.

>>729627437
When did we go off topic? This thread is British bands.

or >>729625185?

Get the rod out of your arse and stop policing threads for posts you don't like

>>729627664
Mon then, I'll burst ye

>>729627785
I saw that Nirvana post- it is included in the idiots who can't stay on topic. I'm not policing threads just staying relevant to the actual main discussion, it more interesting than just a universal debate about bands.

Stop being all butthurt cause I called you out for not noticing this was a British only bands: retard.

No one's mentioned Depeche Mode or The Stranglers yet?

>>729628394
Stranglers were great until Hugh left, feels bad man

Imo The Who kicks ass

>>729628597
This is true. And I'm not into his solo work even though I've tried numerous times. Burnel and Greenfield are the two reasons I like them still (I play bass and like any kind of prog keys)

>>729628484
Yes, I have. It's not bitching its merely a factual correction, get over it.

>>729629007
Same here! JJ's bass playing was so beautiful and clean man. What's your favourite Stranglers tune? It's cool you can play bass, I can't even read music lmao

>>729625095
Obv The Smiths are the best band of the 80s, period. For 90s, is it Blur? I prefer Suede.
Current greats: Bugg, Monkeys, Teleman.

>>729621958
Prefer Goirllaz over Blur.

>>729629329
I can't read music! One of the first bass lines I learnt was Peaches. But I prefer strange little girl, no more heroes, bear cage. Years ago a friend of mine tabbed the whole back catalog for guitar. He even had the band message him about what a good job he did. Top guys, wish I was old enough to have seen them.

>>729629845
Either way I'm still incredibly envious! All of those are great choices, Strange Little Girl and No More Heroes are personal faves. Sick that your mate heard from them too!
I only saw the Stranglers once and that was with Baz rather than Hugh because I'm only 20 lol, JJ was still brilliant though

Not "the best" but definitely up there.

20? Fair enough I was a fan at 20 but it was music I grew up with. Good to see kids have good taste. Their message is still relevant too. At least if you're a bitter, Northern ex-socialist that doesn't want to vote UKIP like every fucked in the social club like me. YouknowwhatImean?

Go to reddit. You get a username and upvotes for the trash you want recognition for. Faggot.

Yeah probably Maiden for me, or Wishbone Ash

>>729632821
Yes.

Lmfao I only saw the image and didn't know it was Blur but knew it was a bunch of guys from the UK due to their wonky, moderately inbred facial features and huge fucking ears

The correct answer is Black Sabbath you bunch of shitdicked horsewankers
