Poll: Best British Band (Pre-1980)

[fix-the-spade]

No Sex Pistols? Ok since your facist poll wont have them i guess ill go with Queen although Cream isnt on there either...

They were 80's
And where the fuck is Black Sabbath?

They were SEVENTIES! they'd split up by 1978 for cryin' out loud.

Anyway.

BEATLES.


13 albums in 7 years, all good, generally accepted as the most important act of the 20th century, even ahead of Hendrix, Elvis and the stones.

 

[Bibliomancer]

The Beatles. It isn't even close. The Beatles might the best band of all time and revolutionized music. Think of how many classic songs they wrote. Beatles win in a landslide.

 

[Combined]

Brotherhood of Man if it's pre-80's, otherwise - Beatles.

...Why aren't the Rolling Stones a part of the poll?

Of the bands listed I would vote for the Clash, but seriously, needs more goddamn Rolling Stones.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Any reason why I can't vote for the Rolling F'ing Stones?

No Sex Pistols? Ok since your facist poll wont have them i guess ill go with Queen although Cream isnt on there either...

DAMN! There's too many good acts that I've missed out (Thus why I put the others colum but still...)

The Kinks anyone?

I did originally have the Kinks on there actually but I put something else there instead.

The Specials

I didn't even realise they were pre-1980. Damn, they are amazing (NOT ENOUGH POLL SPACES)

EDIT: Due to popular demand, I have added the Stones to the list, but I have used up all the spaces and can't delete the poll, so you'll have to settle with that.

 

[Johnn Johnston]

I have to represent Queen. Bohemian Rhapsody? Don't Stop Me Now? We Will Rock You? Killer Queen? All of them, awesome songs.

 

[almost cool]

Muse is british right? im pretty sure they are. I want to vote for them, but the best you can come up with is queen?

Come on.

 

[Neurowaste]

God damn, all of those bands rule ,but, i'm gonna have to go with Zeppelin.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Muse is british right? im pretty sure they are. I want to vote for them, but the best you can come up with is queen?

Come on.

Muse were formed in 1994...

...

...

I put pre-1980 for a reason.

 

[Alleged_Alec]

Where are ELP, Yes, King Crimson and the Nice? I think those would belong in that list for sure.

 

[Zildjin81]

The Beatles.

 

[Maggot666]

Iron Maiden was formed in 1975 but their first album wasn't released until 1980 so I'm not sure if they count for this thread.

 

[Bucket0Bones]

Erm...Jimi Hendrix Experience anybody?

 

[MarxonSR1]

I love Queen the as they are awesome and, are songs that everyone can sing together and enjoy, or maybe that's just my experience.

 

[Lord George]

So torn between great band, oooh, errr, fine then Queen as I just listened to Radio Ga Ga

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Erm...Jimi Hendrix Experience anybody?

QFT. I voted for The Beatles because they did some really great tracks but I think that the Jimi Hendrix Experience were a better band.

 

[IronDuke]

Are you all completely insane? Pink floyd are masters.

 

[dnnydllr]

No Maiden?

 

[New Troll]

Any one of those options would be a good pick except Deep Purple and The Rolling Stones.

It really could have gone several different ways for me, but I chose Pink Floyd mainly because I tend to listen to them more than the others.
