Britain has a lot of good bands. The one that takes the cake though is Anathema.

Has anyone heard of british rockers Status Quo.
They Sing:

Caroline

I could name hundreds more but do these songs ring a bell

Are any of those going to be at all significant?

Welcome back btw...

Rolo Tomassi are going places, they've had some really decent support slots and a lot of press coverage considering they are a spazzcore band. Good stuff though.

Apart from that i doubt it. Trencher are pretty **** hot around about town but their music will never appeal to a mass audience. Thats not really important though, its just refreshing to have these bands knocking about.

Youthmovies are another band im liking a lot atm, they'd be more your thing, though i'd imagine you've heard them already?

I haven't been following the British scene lately to be honest. I'll check them out, thanks...

Grief, all of those bands (perhaps with the exception of Narcosis) are absolutely terrible, playing some of the most generic, uninspired, old-formula music under the sun. There's a good reason why they (and other British bands of their ilk) have failed to impress on any notable scale, and that's for the simple reason that they're just not particularly good.

I obviously couldnt disagree with you more, in fact what you say is just perplexing. I dont see a reason to justify why i like the music i like though so all i'll say is,

do something constructive and put up a list of your own.

I like the kooks and razorlight alot, but those bands are kinda old and more well known now.
