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
The Pet Shop Boys

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 ?

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

Are we taking Joy Division and New order separately or merged together? I'm happy to take them separately.
