Best British band? Infinitely subjective question. So I won't put in any suggestions..........I'd need a secretary to type them all up.
No mention of The Smiths, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
New Order? Great band. The big hits are great, Blue Monday, True Faith, Regret.......... 'Movement' is their finest album IMHO. Best British band though, considering that their parent group, Joy Division, were superior? If they are your FAVOURITE band, great...........but BEST (on merit, hits, longevity, influence, genius)? Surely not?
The McCartney-Lennon axis of Godlike genius is undisputable.
