I'm afraid this collection barely scratches the surface...
It barely touches the surface
The Kinks are so underrated. It terms of songwriting about observing normal life around them and telling a story, their influence goes right through to the likes punk in the 70s, New Wave in 80s, Brit pop in the 90s and even the likes of emo and pop punk in the 00s. And writing songs like Lola pushed the boundaries of that sort of topic like no one else of that era. The Kinks are so much more influential than the normal Joe on the street gives them credit for
Village Green PS is an amazing,very English album and influenced many.
McCartney himself said he was always eager to hear any new stuff from the Kinks.
Top top British band and is americas loss.
Agreed! such a variety of different style from the 60s to the 80s. Much longer longevity than The Beatles.
Facts!
A few great singles but not a lot else. Not like the other bands here.
@@lyndoncmp5751 it’s not about the singles at the time (although they are good and ubiquitous with the 60s) it’s about their greater impact on music and music writing. For example, Waterloo Sunset paints such a beautiful vivid image of a scene, and that style of writing has never really stopped or changed much since - you can hear the inspiration from Common People, Piano Man, The Offspring, Oasis, The Clash and the list goes on in all different directions.
Not surprised they didn't make the list but as a teenager in England in the early 70's one of my favourite groups was Free. I love their blues/rock sound and the guitar of Kossoff, the bass of Fraser and the voice of Rogers.
Roger Waters recalled the Beatles' influence on Pink Floyd in an interview, "I learned from John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison that it was OK for us to write about our lives, and what we felt... that we could be free artists, and there was a value in that freedom."
That's why The Beatles will forever be #1
Oasis shouldn’t be on any top ten list
That's one of these reasons I can't stand Pink Floyd, I'm sick of hearing about Waters whine about money, the music industry, how he misses Syd and how his Dad died in the war. How did rock & roll manage to get so self indulgent? Not that Pink Floyd could be called rock & roll, they're more like lullabies for stoned people.
I reckon ELO well deserve at least an honourable mention here! 🙂
Hardly comparable to the Moody Blues in their genre.
ELO was a great band
To be honest, I've always thought they were pretty ordinary. Totally subjective opinion; they did/do nothing for me, but I know I'm in a minority.
Black Sabbath should have had at least an honourable mention
Could have easily been ahead of oasis! I couldn’t stand oasis when they came out while I was in high school, talentless..
Damn, you beat me to it. I've just commented the exact same thing.
Oasis stole a hell of a lot of riffs, lyrics and songs from other bands. They shouldn't be on this list.
@@Bullbothait’s literally like I hear myself talking. Black Sabbath layed the foundation for heavy metal and created two subgenres (doom and stoner metal) while those wannebeatles from Manchester kept droning on about wonderwalls and supernovas made of bubbly wine
Dazed and Confused was the beginning of doom in heavy rock, and Communication Breakdown laid down the foundations for metal.
But then Zeppelin moved on and didn't stick to one genre.
Kinks, Deep Purple, The Who...those bands are real rock history. And without them the contemporary music would not be the same as it is today. And the Beatles must of course be the top of the tops because they were not only the first but also the most successful, most influencial and most high-quality band in history.
🎯
I'm not even a big fan but Black Sabbath deserve a mention
If you haven't seen The Big Push blend this track with 2 others live busking....
And making it their own you need to watch it immediately!!
Ren is the singer, snd they do originals they're all talented musicians
Ren is a living legend.
On a level or better than any of these
Strange that? Certainly bigger and more influential internationally than others mentioned here, if not in the UK as well?
@@johnp8131 Yep. The Big Push play Sabbaths War Pigs... but not as a cover.... as a retake, they blend in another Sabbath track and end with another one!.
Definitely worth checking out!
Def Leppard get a honorable mention, but Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy are not? Those bands made groups like Def Leppard, americas Metallica, Bon Jovi and every rocker in between.
They're metal not rock.
With Queen at # 4 all that is left is the Stones, Led Zep, the Beatles. It has been since the 60's really
@MADCHESTERUTD-oc3ni That may be true but how can they be number one when not many people have heard them? I listened to rock all my life and the Only Stone Roses song I ever heard was the one from Guitar Hero. And I can't even tell you the songs name. Had to look it up. "Love Spreads." I will admit that I liked it though. Thats a problem when your claiming them to be number one.
The who
Queen and Pink Floyd would be my top two, but, having said that......... Darn it's hard, just so many good bands came out of our tiny island nation.
I really agree, under those I'd put The Kinks and The Beatles under.
England, the greatest music nation in history?
Never has a country so small produced so many great singers and bands. The list just goes on and on.
Yup👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
that can be said about England a fair amount actually, for such a small country we have had insane amounts of groundbreaking and legendary Bands, Poets, Artists, Writers, some of the biggest inventions and im sure there is aome other stuff too
@@theaces3697 And the most important: You invented Brexit.
And Welsh, Scottish and Irish.
Well, thanks to Max Martin, Swedish music has been a LOT more dominant in the States than British music over the last 25 years.
The original Fleetwood Mac with Pete Green before going soft.
The Green Manalishi with the two pronged Crown live.
Free, Paul Rodgers a brilliant singer went onto sing in band called Bad Company see that song by the same name performed live.
Totally agree - and Waterĺoo Sunset for me is one of the most beautiful songs of all time
Joel you're doing very well because most of this stuff is at least twice your age. The beauty of British music is that we generally have had much more freedom of speech than most other countries and so, individuality and creativity have room to flourish. The down side of that is that many creative people working together in a group can clash. The differences of opinions from listeners reflects this. It's very subjective and that's the beauty of it. The important thing is that we have had the freedom to express ourselves. BTW loving your quips, you are developing your British polite sarcasm well 😂 Keep expanding your knowledge base. Everyone has their own opinion, the important one for you is yours.
Freedom of speech? Once, maybe, but not anymore. We’re leading the charge into authoritarianism.
UK rock bands have ruled the music world since the 1960's
Not in the last 20 years they haven't!
@@TheRealRedAce The biggest bands on the planet are British U2 , Coldplay, Rolling Stones. Check out how successful their tours have been selling out stadiums around the world.
@@davidmalarkey1302 LOTS of bands tour like that. The ones you mention are all old bands. What have any bands from the last two decades done?
And they aren't nearly the best on the planet, though the Stones came close in their day. U2 have always been patchy -sometimes brilliant, sometimes massively pretentious. Coldplay are hardly in the same league.
Nightwish are currently the world's best.
@@TheRealRedAceold or not they still rule
@@mikehull5042 That they do, but where are the new bands? Those older bands will be gone in a few years and what then? None of the bands in 2-3 decades have been anything new. The problem with successful bands is everyone copies them, but are never as good. I suspect record companies are to blame for this.
Black sabbath blind faith. Cream the yardbirds the hollies yes to name but a few so much talent came out of the U.K. in the 1960 s onwards we literally invented heavy rock we had glam rock. Punk / new wave etc so much to learn about the history of British pop and rock
Forgot about Herman's Hermits but don't think they were around that long in the 60's
Led Zeppelin's my personal #1 it will be nice for you to react to their tracks Joel 😊
Same!!
Agreed. Led Zep are far and away the greatest rock/blues band of all time. Their power, range, technical brilliance, creativity, variety and catalogue of great songs is unmatched by any band in history. They had one of the best ever lead singers in Robert Plant, one of the best ever lead guitarist in Jimmy Page, the magnificent bassist, key board player in John Paul Jones and one of the best drummers of all time in John Bonham (hammer of Thor)
Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Free, ELO, The Cult, Whitesnake (early) , Status Quo, The Stranglers, an endless list
🇨🇦 Missing :
Cream
The Moody Blues
The Animals
Procol Harum
The Clash
and so many more . . .
IMHO
The Best music written, created, played, & sung in the last Century, was performed between 1959 to 1989 ! #BoomersRock
🇨🇦
I agree with those and add Uriah Heep on the list.
definitely Cream as they were there alongside the Beatles in developing the American market
❤❤ the Hollies
Black Sabbath is missing: the first heavy metal (as opposed to heavy rock) band.
I guess the guy who put this list together didnt like sabbath?
Thank goodness
Sabbath almost created Metal. They were massive. A poor omission in favour of some pop tart.
Kinks invented the distorted guitar sound
No Link Wray did.
What year and what song was that on?
Willie Kozart when he played guitar for Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm on the song Rocket 88
@@isobar5857
1958. The Rumble. Jimmy Page has often cited Link Wray as a huge influence with his revolutionary guitar sound.
@@lyndoncmp5751 I might be out of my depth here...I was referring to the sound I heard From Tony Hicks played on the Guitar in the Hollies song 'hard hard year'...back in 66, I think...way ahead of it's time, [a short riff in the middle of the song]. Check it out if you are so inclined, on youtube.
During my 20's Dire Straits were my favourite band along with Cold Chisel.
Im now a 59 yo Aussie Grandfather and still love 70's, 80's & 90's Rock Bands.
How to say you're an Aussie without saying you're an Aussie: mention Cold Chisel or Jimmy Barnes. 🙂
You're very lucky to hear this stuff for the first time. I can't even imagine it.
I feel as if I knew these songs before I was even born...
All these songs have been heavily used through the years by Hollywood. I'm surprised.
@@alanpotter8680 Yeah. When I was growing up in the 80s, there obviously was no Internet, so I feel there was more of an excuse not to have heard certain songs. I remember seeing ads on TV for "Golden Oldies" compilations. The ones that played a montage of snippets from famous songs. And while this made me interested to hear how the rest of the songs went, I had no idea who they were by, or how to find them. So I had to do some serious research. But I did it, because I wanted to know.
Today, with access to all the world's music on their phones, it seems as if kids don't want to know. Or perhaps they do, but they feel overwhelmed by too much choice?
There may be a dispute about the order of this list but you cant question the fact that for a small island us Brits have produced so many word class bands !!!!
The list should be at least Top 50!
Can't have a list of British rock without David Bowie. One of the best ever music artists . Watch the video Bowie-Heroes. A wonderful live performance in Berlin 2002.
It’s a band list not a solo artist list
Joel, that was great! Glam Rock was a very unique genre [again coming from, and to the UK] and though the US had The New York Dolls and the unique Lou Reed we had a revolution with Bowie, Marc Bolan and so many others. It be a nice one to see you do a video on Glam Rock and Punk.
One of the best live bands I’ve ever seen was Slade,they were fantastic…..surprisingly for me st the time as they rocked really hard.
Glam produced some major geniuses.
Sabbath, Motorhead, jethro Tull, King Crimson...and so on!
The Sex Pistols is a band that at lest could have got a honourable mention. They were pioneers in the Punk style. Also honourable mentions: The Stone Roses, Dire Straits, The cult, The Cure, The Clash, The Smiths, Super Furry Animals. One of my favourite bands of all time was Iron Maiden, Legendary heavy metal band.
A better list would remove Radiohead and Oasis, and replace them with Black Sabbath and Cream.
I agree!
Nah, Sabbath is metal not rock.
Absolutely
Black Sabbath is absolute bilge , pure crap , so overrated.
I like Radiohead and Oasis but you're right. They'd be in my top 20 though.
"This time tomorrow, where will we be. On a spaceship somewhere, sailing upon an empty sea". Ray Davies. The Kinks
Familiar with Yes? Three albums you must hear -
Yes Album, Fragile and Close to the Edge
Black Sabbath, Small Faces, Free, Status Quo, Manfred Mann, Cream, Yardbirds, ELO, Judas Priest, Rainbow, Whitesnake... Its a long list of great bands from such a small place.
Slade and the sweet were brilliant, too.
@@johncorrall1739 forgot Iron Maiden and Motorhead too...
@@karmannghiaman1041
Spot on.
Electric Light Orchestra deserved a mention, their style of symphonic rock was unique, how many other bands can you name that had a violinist and two cellists in their lineup?
The London Philharmonic Orchestra had a lot more violinists and cellists than that - some violas and double basses too. ELO were just some very ordinary songs and a lot of production.
@@adolforodolfo6929 Ha ha, but thet are not really a rock band? 🤔
The Mighty Led Zeppelin!! You will enjoy their catalog!! 🙂🙂
I am 74 so my music was 60s/70s. Still playing it to this day. The Kinks were huge! The Who were huge! I would not call the Beatles a rock band although I loved them until Sgt Pepper. Have you heard of the supergroup Travelling Wilburys consisting of Jeff Lynne George Harrison Tom Petty Roy Orbison Bob Dylan? Best wishes from Scotland.,
Btw, if Folk Rock appeals to you as well, then Jethro Tull's folky era is also worth a look, including for their various lineups consistent and hard-to-match technical skill and sheer musicality.
Aw, ELO is one of my favorite bands ever, too. Jeff Lynne later was in a band with the Beatles' George Harrison (among others), "The Travelling Wilburys". The Kinks, you probably know their song "Waterloo Sunset", it's so unique. Oasis sound too much like a Beatles rip-off band to me (and I love the Beatles). You have to listen to "Sweet Child of Mine" by Deep Purple.
I can't believe they don't mention The Small Faces (or The Faces), Blur, Gorillaz, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, The Cure, U2, and so so many more.
"Sweet Child of Mine" by Deep Purple? I assume you meant Child in Time.
Thin Lizzy and u2 are Irish
Check out the Jam. Biggest band from 78-82
Didn’t make a dent in America as like the Kinks,their music was VERY British.
@@TheCornishCockney True, but who cares? Making it in America isn't my benchmark for judging good music.
@@andycross8374 Well said..ABBA only had one No1 hit in the US. But it didn't stop them being a very successful musical act around the world...The US is not be all and end all of musical success..(wish some bands would take note).
@andycross8374
Thread is about the biggest isn't it? You cannot be the biggest band if you don't make it in America.
Pink Floyd, Zeppelin and Queen were way bigger than The Jam so take out 1978 and 1979. In 1979 Zeppelin and Floyd sold more albums and Zeppelin played to hundreds of thousands at Knebworth.
I ❤ Sam Brown, one of the 3 backing singers with Pink Floyd.
Loved the video. Brought me back to when I was kid/teenager growing up in South America. All the bands/songs were popular in those days. Thanks
Black Sabbath, The Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac, Cream & ELO!
Agreed, All missing from the list but seriously if you could only pick 10,I could see Black Sabbath included and maybe Radiohead out
Can't really say Fleetwood Mac as British...they didn't hit it big until Nicks and Buckingham (Americans) joined the line up.
The guitar riff from Smoke on the Water is the most characteristic riff ever from heavy rock. You should listen to the whole track and read the story behind the track.
I do believe you a wrong on that one, the number one riff is Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love, recheck your lists.
@@sicotshit7068
That was diminished by being used as the theme tune to "Top of the Pops". Familiarity breeds contempt.
@@jerry2357 WTF! Speak English
@@sicotshit7068 It's not sensible to display your own incompetence with the English language...
@@jerry2357 whatever you say Jerry, but you are still wrong, I guess that truth hurts.
Hi, Joel! I'm really happy that a young guy like you is interested in these old bands, because they have had such a huge influence on the music world!!!
And to see that this doesn't get lost when young people are also interested in it is just awesome! ☺👍
A must check is the Small aces (Itchycoo park, Tin Soldier etc).
"NEVER HEARD OF THE WHO" you have to listen to Quadrophenia, look up the legendary drummer Keith Moon (Moon the Loon).
I recommend that he start with Who's Next instead. Anyway, he should certainly check them out.
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who has listened to a good amount of rock and hasn’t listened to Led Zeppelin. Definitely need to listen to them cuz they have some great stuff.
The greatest rock/blues band of all time by a large margin
This list could have included The Clash, The Smiths, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Tubeway Army...this list could go on for several pages...
Jethro Tull, Cream,UFO,Thin Lizzy
Lizzy were Irish, not British
The Kinks are fantastic
Enjoyed watching this Joel. Saw the rolling stones in Portland Oregon, Brian was still alive then. Really liked the concert. The yardbirds were another favorite of mine, one of my favorite songs by them is Happenings 10 yrs Time Ago, they were an awesome band. Of course Queen should have been ranked higher. The Moody Blues were great as well. I loved the British Invasion, so glad I was around then!
If you ask any of them, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, ect, they will tell you they were highly influenced by American singers like Elvis, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley ,and Buddy Holly to name a few.
I think it’s wonderful that as a young man you are listening to these bands from before you were born. There are so many treasures to enjoy and DEFINITELY listen to The Wall - cinema for the ears. You give me hope. 🙂
Hey JPS! The first Rock Concert/Gig I ever went to was in 1973: Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon tour.
In Newcastle. Yes, the Newcastle that you called into recently.
Jealous? 😉🙂
Objective list should go like this(influence, commercial succes, artistic value):
1. Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. Pink Floyd
4. Rolling Stones
5. Queen
6. Black Sabbath
7. The Who
8. Dire Straits
9. Fleetwood Mac
10. Deep Purple
Artistic value is subjective.
Early Genesis, Yes, Moody Blues
Hollie
Hollies
Dire Straits should be in there.
Deep Purple: you must listen to their album "Machine Head" and their live album "Made in Japan".
Nice honest reaction uk
The Who, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are way before your time, together with Uriah Heep and Black Sabbath (not on the list), but I can recommend them to you. I know, cause I grew up with them.
🍀🍀
OMG, Totally forgot about Uriah Heep,
One of my all time favorites
Best album ever Deep Purple - Made in Japan!
Listen to ‘Rain’ by the Beatles and you can see that Oasis based themselves purely on that one song vocally.
Moral of the Oasis story: when all else fails, copy The Beatles.
@@TheDon444then claim you would have been bigger than them in their day!
I've seen ELO in concert.... Freaking amazing!!!!!
Its a tricky thing recommending music there is so much good stuff, there are quite a few not well known and obscure bands and music which can easily get missed. I used to go and by some random piece of music to try and got some pleasant surprises,
Thank God the Kinks are on there. Unique, special band. I'd kick out a couple from this list, but on The Moody Blues. Another unique, highly enjoyable band.
gotta love the stone roses
Another good video jps I've got sum good band for you to listen to. One band from Liverpool called cast one from Manchester called the Smits (no there not all related) and one from Scotland called primal scream
Been a kink fan all my life . Amazing discography.
Viva Roxy Music!
Queen was not just restricted to the ROCK MUSIC SCENE,,, they could easily diversify.
Absolutely. It drives me mad when people just say all they wrote was stadium anthems etc too. People who say that have clearly only heard We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions 😂
They're so diverse it's crazy. Great King Rat v Brighton Rock, Mustafa v Love of my Life, Seven Seas of Rhye v Spread your Wings, The March of the Black Queen v Another One Bites the Dust, Nevermore v I want it All, You Take My Breath Away v Inuendo, Bring Back that Leroy Brown v 39. I could go on lol. People have no idea what they're talking about when they've only heard 2% of a band's catalogue 😂
@@faithpearlgenied-a5517I’d say like it drives me nuts when people claim Led Zeppelin is a metal band, they hated being called a metal band too. They did many genres, metal wasn’t one of them, they also had total control over their music, something other bands didn’t have.
King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Yes, Black Sabbath, ELP, Colosseum, Animals, Cream, Procol Harum, Family and many many others
Joel, you have to check out Celluloid Heroes by the Kinks
2 Deep Purple songs for you to check out; "Highway Star" and "Burn".
Perfect strangers isn't too shabby,either.
Child in time not good enough
Nice seeing a young person learning new old music. I'd recommend Atomic Rooster, Wishbone Ash, and The Small Faces.
The Who have always been one of my firm favourite bands - their music is legendary! You must find time to check them out!
Who are you..ooh ooh..have you heard that? By the Who..the theme tune to CSI…..that was them!
,
Deep Purple is truly worth to look into. Mark II line-up (ian gillan lead singer) is one of the best bands ever. Also, Status Quo (again, original line-up) is hard to believe didn't make this list. They were as big as Purple, Zeppelin or any other band here in their era. Never made it in the US however.
Status Quo were never as big as Purple in their day and nowhere near as big as Zeppelin, the 2nd biggest band in history! In terms of talent, innovation and influence, Quo would be lucky to make a top 50, never mind a top 10! ...and I LIKE Quo! :)
actually, i was gonna add, that i might be biased on that, since i grew up with quo, before i ever heard of Zeppelin (which btw is my absolute no1). and i'm german. still i would say, that in germany quo was as big as zeppelin. and deep purple was probably bigger than both. up until quo splitt up and changed their style. also, i can't really jam to oasis or radiohead (sorry, my fault) whatever, no harm done @@Codex7777
@@Codex7777 And now i even did a check up and am really embarressed: Quo doesn't even make the TOP50, on any list. God, how many bands i saw on those lists, that would be higher ranked. sorry, gonna have my head checked lol
Quo had a big UK following and many hits in the UK singles charts but couldn't compare to Zeppelin, Floyd, The Beatles etc.
@@splodge5714 Oh, not just the UK. I am german, and everybody around me was into Quo. And i still stick to this: the best "boogiewoogie steamhammer live rockband" of the era (till ACDC really took off maybe) obviously, the bands you mentioned are "bigger" and "better" musically and in sales., but if you just wanna party and jump and bang your head, quo was the thing to turn to.
Glad you gave ELO a mention really deserved imo … RIP Richard Tandy….
Don't forget that in the early days the Musicians' Unions in both countries had some strict controls over who could play where. A lot of British bands could not get in at first but also being influence a lot by US music while they developed directions of their own, I loved the interplay musical between both countries.
Queen for number ONE!
If oasis makes you feel good that's fine, but they should of been called copycats, everything about them was to be like the beatles, not ever would that have happened, not a beatles fan myself ,you could see them trying to image the
beatles , but you enjoy their music if it makes you feel good, no music/ no life in my book.
Queen no1 every time perfect all round performers No one could make music like them
I couldn’t agree more about Pink Floyd. I’m old enough to have had the absolute joy of seeing them live. We got to see Australian Pink Floyd whenever they are in the UK if we can to get our live fix.
FACTS:
QUEEN is the ONLY band who has ALL FOUR members in the Hall of Fame for each having written Number 1 Songs.
“We Will Rock You” & “We Are The Champions” are literally part of society’s sports culture now, EVERYWHERE.
Freddie Mercury has been voted Best Vocalist & Best Frontman in Rock Music.
Brian May has been voted Best Guitarist in Classic Rock & Best Guitarist Overall.
Queen’s famous 20-minute set at 1985’s Live Aid is widely known as the BEST performance in Rock Music.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” was the MOST STREAMED SONG of the 20th Century.
Fact. Queen don't have any albums in the top 50 biggest selling albums of all time.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Are those just American statistics or international statistics? (I thought their Greatest Hits was - maybe, maybe not.) The other facts STILL stand them apart/unique.🖖
@@marciebulsaraorcutt
Worldwide stats. And their biggest selling album is a greatest hits collection, not any of their actual proper albums. Queen didnt sell albums on the level of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beatles etc.
Queen the best band of all times
@@lyndoncmp5751 - True, but this has to be taken in the context at the time, there was a lot of negativity towards Queen in those days as they were seen as not being 'Rock' enough, particularly with the use of early synths, use of effects and non-formulaic music approach etc. The music press at the time hated upon them as well - it was a very snobish and selective time music wise in the 70s. It wasn't until the 80s that Queen became more accepted, by which time Queen had released their greatest hits album for a new audience to discover. Hence people bought those albums and not the previous individual albums, unless they were very dedicated fans that is.
That said, now days Queen songs are more widely known than many of the other bands in the list, constantly being discovered by each new generation's audience, with a wider body of their music having saturate into global culture in a way that that many of the other bands hasn't (Beatles excepting that is).
However, as with most 'legacy' bands/artists their longevity comes from either specific individual songs or anthology/retrospective compilation albums and not their individual albums of the past; this is also the case with the Beatles (sales of 1, and prior to it's release the Red and the Blue albums, come to mind). This has led to Queen still being a top played band today, appearing often in the top 50/100 of streaming lists.
The Beatles will be remembered hundreds of years from now. I'm not convinced any of the other top 10 bands will be.
I think they all have songs that have the capacity to endure. TBH the ones that may fade are The Who, The Kinks and Radiohead, just because I think the others have at least one song that has sufficient popularity/notoriety to stick around. But that's just my opinion. And I think Radiohead are excellent, BTW.
You can't seriously believe people in hundreds of years won't know most of those bands, especially Led Zeppelin and Queen 😂 you think even just Stairway to Heaven or Bohemian Rhapsody will ever be forgotten? Both of those songs are more infamous than literally any individual Beatles song. That alone will keep those bands alive! I say that as someone whose favourite band is The Beatles - I'm just not delusional. There are other incredible bands too. Some Beatles fans are delusional to be honest.
@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 I'm certainly not delusional, and what I said was 'I'm not convinced' at no point did I say they would not be remembered.
Zeppelin, Floyd, Stones, Queen at least still will be.
I’d love to see a top 20 list because there were so many great British Bands; Black Sabbath, Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Level/42, IQ, Judas Priest, Depeche Mode, Cream, David Bowie, z Elton John, Muse, The Police, Traffic, Porcupine Tree, Marillion, The Moody Blues, Supertramp, The Cure, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Ten Years After …..the list goes on.
These are not all favorites of mine. Not at all. But they each were big in their time
I love Queen as well.
Joel how are we similar what freedoms do you have in America that I don't have in the UK. You live in possibly the most censored nation other than China Russia and North Korea. Americans lead very insular lives and never leave their bubble and are unaware of life outside of America
Something like high 70’s,low 80’s percentage of all Americans don’t even own a passport.
I can’t imagine my life without my passport.
Perhaps never being exposed to other cultures/countries makes them think the whole world is the USA,and believe me,there are plenty who think that.
If some of us are unfamiliar with life outside America it's not by choice. Thank goodness there are people who are kind enough to share things about their countries that many of us for some reason or another will never get to experience for ourselves. Rick Steves is one American who is fortunate enough to travel the world so he can share his travels with us through television, books, and presentations. I'm also thankful to Joel because he shares not only his own travel experiences but shows experiences from other countries. Bless the people who are willing to do this for us.
Yes the land of the not free. Highest prison population. Just embarassing.
@@JazHaz prison for profit
@@debbiewilder8463 Joel travels so him exercising his freedoms that he doesn't have in America. Every vlog involves drinking and not much else of benefit really . So much for the land of the free
Not even a mention for Black Sabbath ! 🙃.
Congrats on your good taste in music as such a young man. All is not lost yet. I am an Austrian and love the music of this period too. British and american.
Jeff, an Austrian, wants to share his passion for the music of the 60's and 70's with you.
He plays all the instruments himself and posts his covers as multitrack videos on UA-cam. His interpretations are garage band style.
Regards Jeff
You want to check out the Jam they are brilliant.
How the hell have you never heard of The Who, you must have had the CSI shows on the TV every other day there.
Because the who are a small band with only a xouple of ok songs....thats why
@@stevens5541 Small, they've sold 500 million records 🙄
@@stevens5541more creativity in Townshend's little finger than the plagiarism of Led Zeppelin for a start. I mean, once you've heard the Small Faces "You Need Loving" then you realise how much ripping off they did.
Pink Floyd have to be top 3. It has to be The Beatles (ok🙄), Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd with Rolling Stones in 4th. Dire Straits or The Clash deserve spots on this list instead of Radiohead personally
The Beatles for here in the US, we’re just something so different at the time, their earlier music really was on the cheesy side. I personally put Led Zeppelin as number one, their debut album was killer, & it went up from there. Considering they were only together a few months, before even recording it. Their first rehearsal was on August 19,1968, they toured a few weeks as The New Yardbirds. Came back recorded & Page mixed & edited it, all in about 36 hours, not a bad song on it.
Dire straights, the Clash, Iron Maiden. all worth a listen.
Ray's and Dave's (the Kinks) family name is written Davies, but pronounced like Davis.
You'll often here the quote;
Dark side of the moon is arguably the best album ever... But it's not the best Pink Floyd album.
It doesn't make sense but... it does! 😂
They say the same thing about Zeppelin 4 at times and most Zeppelin fans think Physical Graffiti is their greatest album. And many of us don't think Stairway is in their top ten best songs.
It's all about opinions.
Dark side was OK.
Certainly not the best album ever made. My opinion
Pink Floyd & Queen are joint number ones for me. They had it all in terms of musical styles & fabulous presentation with David Gilmour & Freddie Mercury being truly amazing frontmen. Freddie could sing anything in any style & David’s guitar mastery is the greatest I’ve ever witnessed (alongside Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits who should be in the Top 10 imo) Beauty is in the ear of the beholder but it’s very hard to measure when there is so much rich material to choose from. The Who’s music was a core staple amongst College & University students
The Who are on parr with the Rolling Stones. I can’t believe you’ve never heard of them. They did a musical called Tommy and Roger Daltrey the lead singer was also in Mcvicar about a thief John McVicar
I generally agree with the list, , although I don’t know about The Kinks being on there. I think I would have Genesis in that slot… or Yes, or The Police, Supertramp. Oasis I don’t know well because it was much later than when I was avidly consuming music. I’ll have to investigate them further.
Not a fan of Oasis. Back in the day, You were either an Oasis or a Blur fan. Blur were 100 per cent better.
The Police!!!!!
The Kinks is one of the best bands... It's in my top list, with The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and some other.
The success of The Beatles over other bands is having created more songs, and more hits in ten years than other bands in fifty years, and having experimented with different sounds and combinations of these.
Imagine: you are lying in the mud at half past five on a Monday morning in July after three days and nights of fantastic music, the sun rises and there they are, Pink Floyd, set the controls for the heart of the sun...
Oh, and Seargent Pepper has been in my record collection for 56 years now...
