Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Black sabbath. I wouldn't say that most music from england is garbage. Without Black Sabbath And Zepp Rock and Roll wouldn't be what it is today. I'm not saying they were the hugest bands in metal history but Sabbath really brought the darker toned metal to the states. It wasnt just the tone they brought but they helped introduce the darker lyrics. Queen another huge band out of england, I dont care what anyone says about queen, but Freddy Mercury knows whats up, well used to, then he died.
Uh... Beatles? Rolling Stones? The Who? You're missing a lot of good bands here. There's tons more... I just can't think of them off the top of my head.vgm007
These, plus The Clash and Black Sabbath. I'm sure there are more, I just don't know the countries of origin of most bands...
Where's that facep[alm emote when you need it? First take into account that England is about the physical size of one state so it's unfair to put it up against a country 50x as big. Anyway: Muse Coldplay Oasis Beatles (i don't really like them but they're rated really highly) The Sex Pistols Blur The Rolling Stones The Who The Cure The Clash The Verve Led Zeppplin Black Sabbath...
[QUOTE="Greatgone12"]Steve Albini's produced a couple of good bands from England, I think. Maybe just Europe as a whole. I can't be bothered to name them, but I'm sure there's a catalogue of all the albums he's ever produced somewhere on the internet.NearTheEnd
Steve Albini produced almost all of Whitehouse's 90s output. I have it covered. Also, Steve Albini production doesn't automatically mean the album rules. It will still be a lame record, but you'll be able to hear every aspect of the lameness really well. Yeah, but he produces millions of albums, so you can hear all of that **** really well, and chances are, at least one will be good. Then again, he produced Bush.
[QUOTE="jointed"]Ehm, Pink Floyd, Arctic Monkeys, the Cure, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin. You list is terrible.NearTheEnd
Already addressed most of those bands, but Arctic Monkeys are about as interesting as watching actual arctic monkeys at the zoo, in the sense that they sit around eating bugs, being cold, and are boring as hell. My list wrecks all those bands. I'd like to have an arctic monkey as a pet. That would be badass.
I advise everyone in this thread to get a sense of humor. Anyone who comes into a thread titled "A Complete and Comprehensive List of Good Bands from England" expecting to find some wealth of knowledge probably doesn't belong on the internet. I posted 5 or so bands (that nobody has said weren't awesome) and a goofy paragraph with the intention of having a lighthearted discussion about English music, and how American music compares. Don't get your panties in a bunch when I don't mention Pink Floyd. That isn't what this thread is about.
And with that, let me state, for the record, that I hate Morrissy.
