    for me, blur should be on the list
    what about
    James Blut
    Blur
    Black Sabbath
    Elvis Costello
    Moody Blues
    Seal
    Police
    Whitesnake
    Depache Mode
    Jethro Tull
    Def Leapard
    Billy Idol
    Manfred Mann
    Eurythmics
    Iron Maiden
    Cream
    Duran Duran
    Zombies
    Deep Purple
    Tom Jones
    Genisis

    honerable mention to the darkness...not there Yet
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    I am actually disgusted with myself for forgetting Genesis and Black Sabbath.......I could really do without alot of the other bands you named though, some of them have a song or two that I like though

    okay. we just have a difference of opinion. it's cool. i just don't have that high of an opinion of the verve. it happens. :)

    well i like it better. i am a sucker for acoustic guitar so it is off to a good start. it's a bit lush isn't it. a bit oasisish. i like richard's intonation.

    The Verve are so much more than Bittersweet Symphony, I hate that song also btw, but as far as british bands of the 90's go, I would have The Verve probably second only to Radiohead, The Verve's albums and music has a lot of depth to it, it's a shame and a testament of good music going unoticed by the masses that it took them until '97 before making it big.
    The first two albums A Storm In Heaven and A Northern Soul are awesome, both blow Urban Hymns out of the water.:)

    Top 20 British bands huh? Coldplay you say? Tears for Fears? LMAO.

    In no particular order my own favourite ones would be:

    Black Sabbath
    Radiohead
    The Clash
    The Specials
    King Prawn
    The Verve
    David Bowie
    Cooper Temple Clause
    Lightyear
    Manic St Preachers (purely for The Holy Bible)
    Therapy?
    Massive Attack
    UK Subs
    The Buzzcocks
    Nine Black Alps
    Stone Roses
    Gomez
    Sham 69
    The Longpigs
    The Charlatans

    Not trying to say these are the greatest 20 british bands, just the ones I enjoy the most.:)

    Honourable mention's for:

    Led Zeppelin
    Inspiral Carpets
    Happy Mondays

    Any list without Oasis on it is a useless list. Oasis is the best thing to ever happen in the UK (at least) in the 90's. They've got more #1's than any other bands (except the Beatles?)

    Ummm Westlife, Boyzone, The Spice Girls and Robbie Williams all have more "No 1's" than Oasis, does this make them better?

    No, just stating tis all, if Oasis could make music as beautiful and as good as the Verve, I'd probably be able to excuse the arsehole Gallagher's.:)
