It's hard to STOP at 10.

The Beatles (First Impressions last longest award...Childhood fave, still great to me now)
The Rolling Stones
The Small Faces
The Kinks
The Jam
Roxy Music
Blur
Pulp
Killing Joke
King Crimson
The Godfathers
Deep Purple
Siouxsie and the Banshees
The Damned
Clash...WHOOPS, this was supposed to be 10, right?

I'll get back with a definitive list if at all possible.

The first 3 are clear:
1. Pink Floyd
2. Rolling Stones
3. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - I consider it an English band, because it was established in London

The rest of the top 10 is hard:
Beatles
Rainbow
The Who
Motörhead
Iron Maiden
Led Zeppelin
Deep Purple
