Shame The Corrs don't qualify

They're Irish aren't they? I've paid £72 to see them in November to be fair, so I hope I don't regret it .

They are absolutely incredible live. Among the best gigs I've ever been to. But take ear plugs!!!

And yes, Kevin Shields is Irish.

Check Grian Chatten's birth location.

Didn't know that! But y'know, they are Irish. Or at least surely the rest of them are. And they even have Dublin in their name.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

If that makes Fontaines British, they are definitely in my list (which I haven’t shared).

That rule also makes Freddie Mercury Tanzanian, so those banging on about Queen need to button it.

Have to say, my favorite Turkish band has always been The Clash.

Pink Floyd - 1967 to 1977
Led Zeppelin - 1969 to 1977
Hawkwind - 1969 to 1977

Hmm, seems to be a trend there.

His uncle is Gary Stevens (not our one) as well if you wondered.

As a fan of Ed Banger records........yes. Plus there's Gojira.

Justice, Daft Punk, Cassius amd Gojira...that's 4.

Cos they are sh$t!!!!

What am I missing here! Why the hate for the iconic Queen! Were they diehard Palace fans or something?! And what's with hipster Joy Division love, one good song they had now I could think of at least 10 better Manchester bands.

Well, there you have it.

Some people like Queen, some don’t.

Some people like Joy Division, some don’t.

It’s almost as if music taste is a subjective thing.

The Beatles
The Kinks
The Jam/Small Faces - I can't make my mind up.

A tough call. I think the Small faces/faces would trump ther Jam, but then Jam/TSC/Weller would trump that . . .


The Dave Clark Five a distant 7 657 945th

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

Stones
Kinks
Dire Straits

I saw Jason Orange play a bongo once so does that qualify Take That?

 

[DJ NOBO]

Thin Lizzy are not, however. So we also can't claim the best band in the world right now (Fontaines DC) are British.

Fontaines DC and Idles are equally brilliant
