Well, the wearing of school uniforms is pretty much compulsory (in schools anyway). Is that enough of a 'cultural impact' for you darling? And could you please refrain from using the eff word when you post at me, I hate it when girls swear. The facts are the facts sweetheart, ac/dc are loved here and always have been-we accepted them back into our british bosom and forgave their tresspasses,on the grounds that their mams and dads forced them to go because they were only 6 or 8 or something. Have you ever seen the live footage from Glasgow 1978? It's the show that is on the 'if you want blood...' album, and our home born heroes are decked out in their Scotland football strips, complete with tiny little, teeny, weeny, white 70's style footie shorts. How much more proof do you want shiela?
Oh, and if you could arrange it with Kylie then I would appreciate it.
funny stuff jamie. school uniforms are compulsory here in australia. i could say it was due to angus' influence but......
and woop-de-doop about them wearing football guernseys. here in the colonies there is a fair amount of english club strip wearing. it is in most cases, simply a nod to that person's heritage. doesn't mean they want to be english or scottish. though personally i do have a thing for scots and northern english lads.
and yes the facts are the facts sweetheart. could you be anymore derogatory, mate? sure england welcomed AC/DC with open arms but they are still australian. much the same way in which we aussies sometimes claim new zealanders as aussie, you have taken it upon yourselves to claim AC/DC.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Didn't break England until Back in Black? Are you effin mental or what? London, England is where they launched their full on assault on the world-they only got together in Australia. Bon, Angus and Malcolm are all Scottish born and bred-may have lived in Oz for 10 years, but that's it. Crumbs even the Aussie bass player bailed in 1977 and was replaced by yet another brit-a Londoner this time. They're as british as tea and toast! And BTW, earlier on someone else was pretty harsh on Brian, the geordie guy who replaced the cool dead guy! Fair play his voice is shot now, but that 1st album he cut with ac/dc is amazing-play it again, right now-and if you don't dance your ass off I'll eat nowt but vegamite sandwiches for a week (i think that's marmite-isn't it?)
I'm claiming them man, and that's it-and as someone said I should claim the easybeats then I'll effin have them as well-it was Angus and Mal's brother after all-just watch out I don't have Kylie also (I should be so lucky,lucky,lucky,lucky) she's spent the last twenty odd years here!
Load up the vegemite mate, it's a a no-brainer, cos I don't dance !! Certainly not to the sound of a tomcat in a rabbit trap especially. Tell you what, you can have a few BUNDY rums to wash dwon the sangers !!
I thought I went preyy easy on him really, cockatoos are nice birds, if you count evil-minded sadistic noisy and destructive as nice things. LOL !!!!!
the libertines are the best british band of at least the last 10 years.
You should do stand-up.
Here's my list. Pretty standard fare for the most part.

Oasis
Blur
The Clash

I've removed the expletive from my post to you and would appreciate if you would refrain from calling me darling, sweetheart or sheila and I'll clarify that I'm not a "girl". I am a woman. I've included a link from wiki regarding AC/DC just for the history lesson, which it would appear you are clearly in need of.
No mention of them starting out their careers in England there. Yup, as I suspected, it's all about Oz. Anyway, it's neither here nor there. You believe what you will as I will continue with my own beliefs.

Led Zepplin
Queen

20/......???
Know I'm forgetting someone, so I'll leave 20 free for now, till it comes to me.
There's been some discussion about Oasis in this thread so having seen them three times here's my opinion. Whatever your opinion on Oasis, they had a punk rock attitude that is definately lacking from most of todays British bands. Their first two albums were amazing, they write great songs about being young and have an impressive collection of b-sides to rival the Beatles. On the downside their set lists may have become static and boring over the years, playing the same hits and neglecting their lesser known material.
I couldn't make a list of 20 bands right now but Oasis would definately be on it. The only modern band i can think of that would make the list would be Razorlight (just forget the first album ever happened) Also anyone from the punk era - Stiff Little Fingers, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks. And of course, Led Zeppelin.
Crumbs, what a pissing list! It's supposed to be 20 great British bands-not 3 good ones, 35 shit ones and an Irish bloke (who is actually really fantastic-but deffo not British). Come on, you can do a lot better. Love, JUK
...well I happen to think the bands on my list are FANTASTIC - give me 35 shit ones over the Led Zeppelins, Black Sabbaths, Pink Floyds and Queens that pollute most other lists in this thread
In my world everyone is a pony,

I like Oasis sj. Well I like their music. Unfortunately I got buggered around with tickets when they were carrying on with their usual hissy fits and antics when they planned to tour here a few years ago. They announced the tour, cancelled, re scheduled and cancelled again I think before finally turning up and carrying on like petulant children. Anyway, it really put me off supporting them. So I like their music, but I've got no time for the histrionics. I can see why you like them though.
Musically they are excellent.

O.K. I submit. I love ac/dc, and for Devilment I sometimes claim they're Brits-but I don't really give a shit. And I suppose you're creatively outraged by my derogatory comments 'sweetheart'-but simply cos you called me 'dear' I thought I'd see how far you would take it.-I love you for that, please,please, I hope you have enjoyed these couple of posts, it's a bit boring when we all agree. Smashing stuff here the last 2 days, I hope you enjoyed it. Here are the facts obtaned; some of ac/dc were born in the UK/ Crowded House are Kiwis/ I'm a mischievous tosser/ and you have balls the size of Sydney bridge! Love to you all, see youin Madrid (3 weeks tonight!!!!!).God bless, Love to all,JUK.

Hi, I really don't have that much time!But although I love the idea of a Pearl Jam fan in Canada listening to british music, I have to say your list was pretty light weight. Try some Iron Maiden, Saxon, come on the Beatles and Zepp were not the only pre 1980's bands from Blighty. Try the Widhearts-they set the tone for 90's rock in the UK-there's no one better! Love to all, JUK.

Harsh is what you were man, and there's no excuse. You get Back in Black, and I tell you-you'll realise these guys were ahead of the game. They should be applauded for it, not ridiculed. Put the MF on top Volume, and you will be twitching like a MF'er-and I'll bet you that if we ever met EV or any other band member that they would put that album in their top 10. So shut up you git, and get some in......gonna shoot to thrill......ready to kill! Come on, love ya, JUK.

Aw man, Back in Black was the last album I heard by them. Never was much of a fan really, don't ask me why cos I don't know. I think I always found Angus' solos didn't contain any of the song melody, never hit his target notes if you like. Some of the riffs are cool though, I play a few snippets, not much. Malcolm gets points for playing a Gretsch though, but I always thought it was a double cut LP til I learnt better recently.

And not to be a nuisance, but I'd just like to thank you again ETR for the last four hours of awsome tunes!
That is one fine concert! I love how it's filmed and I love how it sounds!
