Best 5 British bands of all time

I was gonna do an article about the United game but let’s be honest, who even cares anymore? Apathy rules ok.

Anyway, these are my top 5 (in no particular order)


Beatles
Rolling Stones
The Smiths
The Kinks
Led Zepellin


Far too many great bands don’t make the list. Damn Britain, you made some good music 👏

Tbf I was brought up on the Stones, Cream and The Who so it was never likely I’d be into pop music liked by girls.

US solos

Stevie Wonder
Neil Young (he's American enough by now)
MJ
Prince
...will think a bit about the fourth spot

That's pretty offensive. 😄 Neil Young is as Canadian as it gets.

Canada's top five

Neil Young
Guess who
Steppenwolf
Lenord cohen
The Band

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Neil Young has US citizenship and has mainly lived in the States for the last 60 years. And he's an active part of the American discourse and has been a key player in the American music scene since the late 60s.

who cares he's Canadian.

Spoken like a man that hasn’t listened to enough Girls Aloud.

Neil Young has announced his plans to play a free concert in Ukraine to kick off the forthcoming European leg of his Love Earth tour.
The musician announced the news on his website, confirming that he and his band, the Chrome Hearts, will be performing a special free concert “for all”, with additional details regarding dates and venue expected in the coming days.

By citizenship he's American and Canadian. Are you the guy who claims that an England footballer who was born in Jamaica "isn't really English"?

Well I’m sure everyone will agree that this has been an awful lot of fun. Probably the best thread since around, say, 2012 or so?

As such, I propose that JA606 becomes a “lightweight music forum” from this point on. And that we ban all discussion of football until at least 2027.
