I don't hate them, but I object to the idea that they're 'great' musicians. Their music is terrible. neutral

Is not.
Well....some of it is. -.-
But I like Brian May's guitar.

Blasphemy! Well, okay, "Bicycle" was terrible. But the others were all 5-star, top class rock! It's classic! The chorus to every underdog movie! The embodiment of British pluck! The personification of guys down the pub, drinking and singing with joy at life itself! How could anyone who can truly call themselves a native of this great isle say otherwise? They cannot! Queen lives in all of us - in mind, body and in soul! They're... they're...

Sorry, I've been looking at motivational speeches for English and can't stop...

I love Oasis. And by the way, a little tiny group called The Beatles happened to be Brits. But you know, that's not at all important! razz  

[Behatzlacha-S]

Kasabian are rockin'

And Elbow.

I like Northern bands.

A change of tone for most of us, I imagine...but great nonetheless! Really, very interesting and with some very illuminating comments. Also, <3 the music.

What a shame.

Has anyone listened to the Mystery Jets? They're good-quality, interesting (almost intellectual at times) pop/rock, with a heavy influence from 80s bands. I saw them at a small gig once and immediately bought their album. I recommend some truly British songs, like "Half in Love with Elizabeth", which is a fascinating look at monarchy and love in one song!  

[Garwaire]

Mystery Jets, yeah sure. Heard of 'em. Can't think of any of their songs, but I'm sure I've heard their music. I'm one of those people who's listened to most songs, but can't always but the band to the song.

But anyway, has anyone heard of Sub Focus? Fairly new band from the DnB scene.

:3

 

[Biumu]

I love Muse! and Garbage!  

[Garwaire]

I don't know what it is, but Micro Cuts always reminds me of 28 Days/Weeks later.

Wasn't it use in a trailer?

You receive much love for me on two counts:
1. Steampunk!!! Full of win.
2. Every band you listed there are so awesome my face melts when I release their music from the Ark of the Covenant of iTunes, Indiana Jones style.

I'unno, I'd take Black Sabbath over Iron Maiden..
