Best British band of all time?

It might be a cliché, but The Beatles.

For me, Pink Floyd.

The Who...
Deep Purple...
The Clash...
Queen....
Just to name a few..

But above all
C'mon _----
"LED-ZEPPELIN"

No Americans (or Brits) have mentioned any British bands from the 90s.

Sad

Stones

Yes, New Order, The Cure, early Genesis. The Smiths...in that order, I think....

For me it would be Genesis,with Peter Gabriel.The Sex Pistols would be my second choice.

Led Zeppelin

My parent's would say The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Me? I'm younger - obviously - and the one band of recent times that I think have changed things up, worldwide, has got to be The Spice Girls.

I know...I know! All you Oasis fans, but didn't they do bugger all in America. The Spice Girls changed the musical landscape, I think, for a while.

Next to them, but again way before my time, would have to be Queen. Every album different to the previous one. All great songwriters. Brilliant sounds etc.

There you have it.

Not really a Coldplay fan, for a singer/songwriter fan.

Sarah 💋

Hard choice, but CREAM or STEELEYE SPAN, followed by THE ROLLING STONES or LED ZEPPELIN.

Not counting the Beatles or Stones, I have always been partial to Jethro Tull, Marillion, Big, Big Train, and The Who

A hard one. But the Beatles.

I mean shit they are legends for a reason.

Influencing everything from 60s pop to 90s goth subculture.

So many to choose from...Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Oasis, Stones, Who, ELP, Queen... But it's gotta be this one:

Pink floyd

Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Cure

Got to be Pepsi and Shirlie😁

In the sixties and seventies definitely the beetles and the stones. Seventies was the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Pink Floyd, and the Stones.
The Stones have been performing longer than any other band so I'm going to have to give it to them.

The Cure

How do you define "best" ... Longevity, innovation, most sales? That's a different answer for each.... But I'm just glad there is🤗

Just a taster from Steeleye Span, the folk/rock group, mentioned in the thread.

The Royal family. They attract the most audiences even when they sneeze.

Rolling Stones, Led Zep a very close second

Definitely the Rolling Stones.

It's got to be Black Lace

Beatles

Stones

Queen

Rolling Stones . . The Beatles . . Queen . . Grimethorpe Colliery Band . .

There are a lot of great bands being named here. I would add Hawkwind, Genesis, Iron Maiden and Motorhead. Oh, and Half Man Half Biscuit.

Arguably Black Sabbath.
Here's why - the rock and metal we know today wouldn't exist without them.

Maybe they're not the best, but my fav is Arctic Monkeys

Electric Light Orchestra or Pink Floyd

The Beatles. Absolutely no doubt about this!

Zeppelin, hands down

King George's butt boys

The Darkness 🤘😁

led zeppelin

The Beatles !

So many to mention but I'll go with Pink Floyd

portishead, tricky, arctic monkeys and radiohead

The Beatles followed by the Who.

The Dave Clark Five gave the Beatles and Stones a run for their money.
