UK Bands
 

What do you guys think of UK Bands?

They're quaint.
I think they are a passing fad and will slowly fade into obscurity.
There has been the odd decent British band, but nothing that leaps out and really grabs me.

Too provincial for my tastes.

First thing that comes to mind is Placebo. They rock

How can UK bands be a 'passing fad' when they have been around since the beginning!

Just curious.

But he`s from Luxembourg

I was being deeply sarcastic.

Best bands in the world, no doubt.

Oh darn.
But he's pretty popular over in britain though. Or at least amongst the British people I know.
Could've sworn he was from the UK region though . . .

Brian isn't really from anywhere. He moved a lot. He did go to school in London but the band formed when he went to school in Luxemburg.



Everyone knows I love UK music. It's my favorite.

UK has its fair share of good and bad from every genre, just like anywhere else.

i know alot about the British scene, living in the UK.. though very few of my favourite bands are british. Theres a slight lack of experimentalism but then theres also a lack of fans of experimental music.

the band is baesd in UK...

UK bands are the best!!!

cant stand the rock bands from the US except for the killers and matchbox 20..:laughing:

Aye, alot of the newer british bands bore the **** out of me if im being perfectly honest.

if 'new' british bands bore you, you havent been looking hard enough. I said earlier in this thread that alot of my top favourite bands are american, but i like hundreds of bands, and most of the others are british.

the problem is that british bands never do as well. take a successful but underground american band.... Circle Takes the Square. If they were british, they'd be playing the back rooms of pubs and their album wouldn't even be released in the US, none of you would have ever of heard of them.

i didnt say NEVER. and it of course it has experimental music.. alot of bands on SD are experimental.

what i said was there was a LACK, compared to the US.


and i can't stand pink floyd.

Yeah, let's be black and white. All the English bands are great. Every scene rocks, not one exception. How can someone give a decent opinion on something so general? ><'

Pink Floyd are average. Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd are excellent.

Pink floyd - music for bank managers, that was my mates answer to why he hates them, and it tickled me. :)

All this Pink Floyd stuff is all well & good but they`ve not been an experimental band for about 35 F*CKING YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UK Bands are the best ever....

Can someone please ban this ass hole

What the fuck?

Aye, bit harsh, what he do? o.o

****in spammers.........10 straight posts about joining some crappy site.

Yea guys, c'mon fight spam with spam. See I'm doing it right now.


It's WORKING!!!!!

...poo!

Wow... This topic's gone off the deep end :/... BACK TO THE TOPIC!

UK Bands = Great music.

Period.

And I can't believe none of you mentioned Blur... :( They are my favorite.

I love UK bands. I was in the UK for about 2-3 months, so I acquired a taste for them. I wasn't necessarily a fan, but once I was exposed to them, I began to really like them. Now that I'm back home, I'm online all the time finding out the latest info on the various bands. I'm a music junkie! :)

what is up with the pink hate. grant it that syd barrets contributions were well taken and GOOD, are you disregarding the significance of 'the dark side of the moon' and 'the wall'. i know they had more, but those are 2 really standout albums. i would say 'dark side of the moon' is the best album that you can listen to from beginning to end without ever wanting to change a song or have the music stop.

For every one decent UK band there are at least 20 absolutely dreadful bands. But you can't argue with the longevity of The Who, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Black Sabbath etc.

I've lived in the UK my whole life and I think we've got a lot of talent here. I listen to more artists from the UK than from anywhere else but I think that's got more to do with the levels of exposure I've had than an actual preference for 'our way of doing it'.

It's nice to have the general public considering our accents important in music at the moment.

I used to like westlife. I generally prefer UK band than US. Just my weird preference.:nono:

The UK has produced a lot of influential bands… The Cure, Led Zeppelin, Joy Division, Queen, The Smiths, The Clash and the Stone Roses to name a few. The UK still have a lot of talent but I guess they probably won’t be as great as those mentioned.

UK bands are vital, the whole Scottish indie scene on its own is vital.

Love UK bands! I think their music is more about the music and not about the artist's diva life. My two cents!

The UK has put out many many good bands. Currently, they have a pretty good doom metal scene.

i'm new to this forum, and having seen all the posted reviews of nickelback and disturbed albums, then that, i was really worried for a second

I used to be obsessed with UK indie rock bands...I think I just really loved the british accent to be truthfull
