Tibb's favourite British band.
 

A few years ago I did Tibb's favourite British sitcom, tragically won by Absolutely Fabulous. Now I want to do Tibb's favourite British band.

I need 36 bands before we can start, to go into the first round knockout stage.

So suggest some bands to me in this thread who should be in.

I will accept Fleetwood Mac even though they were British/American because they originally were British.


So far we have

The Beatles
Deep Purple
Genesis
Pink Floyd
Status Quo
Coldplay
ELO
The Kinks
The Moody Blues

Bit of a progressive rock fan here.

There's at least 3 Irish bands there. This is a British contest.

Maybe a separate boy/girl band one !?

Or a Pop Music one ?

Well they’re all fighting for second place behind The Beatles :)

I wouldn't be sure about that. This is Tibb. Wolf Alice or The 1975 probably has more chance than the Beatles.

Secret Affair
The Jam
The Specials

AC/DC are Australian. Don't think I want Bucks Fizz in. I'd rather keep it to instrumental bands rather than pop singing groups.

Formed by Scottish-born brothers Malcolm and Angus Young

Stereophonics

Alf this is going to huge

and controversial

there are so many bands to consider if you are an old codger like Bots or Parmy

:joker:

reported

Racey
Darts
Showadywaddy.

Simply red

Not my cup of tea but I'll add Busted and McFly for the kids.

We have 79 bands so far. Once we get to 100 that's the end. We can then have 4 polls of 25.
