I'm struggling for 20, and I'm a Brit. I have to disagree with Feeder, not up to the mark for me-sorry.
Here's the 20.
Led Zeppelin
The Beatles
Black Sabbath
The Who
Queen
AC/DC (3/5 of the original and 4/5 present line up are/were british-so leave it)
Richie Blackmore's Rainbow (1st 3 albums or so)
Sex Pistols
The Damned
UFO
Iron Maiden
Saxon
Whitesnake (for the 1st 3 albums or so)
Radiohead
James
Manic Street Preachers
Wildhearts
The Cult
Robert Plant & the Strange Sensation
Muse.
Personally I left out the Clash as I feel they are the most over-rated band ever. Not terrible, but over-rated.
Come on get stuck into my list!
no i'm not gonna leave it. as an australian, you know i have to protest.
there is no way AC/DC can be considered british.
there are too many australians who come to this country by the same route as the boys in AC/DC. do you want to claim them all?
Hey, I knew someone would be straight in-bloody Aussies, as if winning the cricket isn't enough-now they won't even let us claim ac/dc as our own. I have to admit it was on my mind about the origins of the band, and then a couple of years ago my usual rock magazine tried to claim them as brits kind of officially-and all hell broke loose.
Well as ac/dc are still joint number 1 band of all time for me (guess who ties it) I think I will allow you joint ownership and nothing more. The facts,my friend are the facts-3/5 of the 1st line up were british born, you supplied the drummer and bass player (until we had to soon replace him to make it 4/5). Even Dave Evans, the real original singer was a brit-a Welsh man like me in fact. So as, on reflection, we struggle 4 rock acts-I'm afraid we're reclaiming ac/dc. ....please,please.......come back! Love ya,JUK

hey we let you win the ashes, once, didn't we?
i dont care who was british born. shit my own children are first generation australian on their father's side. he was born in south africa of british parents. that deosn't make his south african or even british. and when you consider that australia was a colony it only stands to reason your junk gets tossed out onto our soil.
so no way JUK you're not getting them. AC/DC are australian. they are quite possibly the biggest musical influence for rock bands in this country. there's even a lane in melbourne named after them. how about we have a day/nighter to settle the matter? we'll even field our second string team to make it more of a contest.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

Come on, you've still got INXS, Crowded House, Men at Work-and Kylie & Jason. Now you got Wolfmother, and Jet! I think you should accept the inevitable-AC/DC are and always have been brits. And your a bit harsh on yourself there about the junk an stuff-I've got close family in Oz, I don't consider them junk. As for a day nighter, well it's 10 to midnight here so this is as close as were likely to get.Love, JUK
p.s. I bet you're just a bit peed off that we're getting our Jam again this summer-it's about time those damned yankees realised which side their bread was buttered!

the saints

smudge
dallas crane

What about IDLWILD , can't forget them if people are going to include shite like Keane and the stereophonics. Rember the Albert hall gig with the Who in 2001 Ed stole the show for me, beat them all on their own turf!
AC/DC are Australian, apart from that Geordie with the voice like he had the shits, who replaced the cool dead guy who liked breaking out of jails.
Amazing, I liked the cool dead guy too, Bon Scott, cold never stand the other guy, NEVER EVER sounded like he was singing, always sounded like a cockatoo imitating a lawnmower.
They had some cool riffs though, someone taught me HIghway to hell recently, I was amused to see it shares chords with Betterman.

On second thoughts, you can take her.

I wouldn't mind, even at her age. Oh, wait. You said disparaging. I thought you said something else.
BIttersweet SYmphony was written by Jagger/Richards, does that still count as a rip-off ??

Did you ever hear F**kin With My Head, by Beck? It was on Mellow Gold. It was a deliberate rip off of The Last Time, but very very funny.

Oh, you only hear it at the end of this tiny clip...
i dont listen to beck. he fucks with my head.

OK, I'm thinking that since FPC has claimed Hendrix on the basis that the Experience was formed in London, so that gives you AC/DC on a plate.
if jamieUK is gonna claim AC/DC he should also be claiming the easybeats.

*Thinks, plays, picks, puts down guitar in shock.*
I have NO shame!!!
Love all that teeny bobber shit from the dark ages!
Sean Cassidy, David Cassidy, The Monkees!

That beautiful funny shape that Ed picks the intro with turns into a raging animal when forced out of a Gretsch into a Marshall !!
clearly you have no shame jeanie.

I don't usually listen to Betterman. (Shhhh. Don't tell people that. I hear there are some Pearl Jam fans around here.)
No, wait, actually, it's the other way around. I don't usually listen to AC/DC.
Which would make me AD/CC/PJ/JP/or somethin'.
The Monkees rock. Here's the proof:

Fins if you can claim Jimi Hendrix, we can claim Livvy!
And AC/DC who where all raised in Perth. Can't get more Aussie than that!!
Not to mention that I do believe they had Australian citizenship!
