Dude... as a brit i salute you as an american to have such wide varied knowledge of british music.
You're my kind of dude lol
My sisters boyfriend back in the day, at the Mountford Hall, had Def Leppard as their backing group I was only 12 or 13, it was amazing then. That's when band from liverpool played everywhere and anywhere. Takes me back, what memories what great Britush bands. So blessed 🎶🎤🎸🙏🇬🇧
America Loves British bands !
🇬🇧🇺🇸🤘🏼

Agreed, my bro is so eclectic. I thought I was weird for being so eclectic but I say music has no singular base, crosses the hearts of everyone.
Mate, it makes my heart sing to watch you sing along to these old songs. They've been a part of my life for decades, and you've absorbed so much in the last few years.
Hasn’t he? He hasn’t just reacted, he’s immersed himself and he has a terrific memory! I raised my kids on a lot of this stuff but J has them beat already.
@@petelloyd5307 only the first two albums count. Everything after that was pure crap. 🤣
@@petelloyd5307 I listened to it in 1982. It was awful. Dickinson ruined a once great band. He's also the kind of twerp that votes to leave the EU, then complains about restricted movement for musicians. What an idiot
Dire straits are australian
@ Saphia, no they aren't. Where the hell did you pluck that from?
SO MANY left out!
Of all the gifts we have given to the world,I consider our music to be right up there as giving me most pride being British.
Can’t argue with the top 10,but Deep Purple should be in there,ELO,Free & Bad Company,Moody Blues,Yes,Genesis,Slade,Kinks,Dire Straits,Supertramp………and many many others.
Must be something in our water.
Even God walks about in a Beatles t shirt.
My favorite was left out of your list too, Jethro Tull and also ELP. Both of these bands were massive favorites in the US but didn't do well in the AM top hit music markets because they tended to put out longer more complex songs that were far more popular with the FM format at the time.
My mother was British...from Bedford England!
Slade can't be on this list, they never made it in the USA. You could put Foghat on it, cracked the State's, flopped in their home country.
Well the Beatles do have more worshippers than Gawd. The Kinks should definitely be there due to their volume of great tracks and the influence they have had and so should Deep Purple for Smoke on Water alone, the riff in that one is the best known on Earth. BTW went to a blues festival once in Maryport in Cumbria where the main event was hosted by the guitarist from the Moody Blues, he did play and he was pretty good live TBH. I'd also have Motorhead in there too, absolute monsters of rock. RIP Lemmy, I'll join you in Hell one day and we'll rock out among the flames.
@@juliemanarin4127
I know Bedford quite well, it's a 20 minute drive if I ignore speed limits.
There are so many more that could have made that list. Moody Blues, Supertramp, Kinks, Simple Minds, Pretenders, Traffic, Yes, Genesis and so many more. I figured the Stones and Beatles would sit right where they did so that was the easy part. Actually any successful rock band wanted to crack the US market because that is where the record sales really came from. Brian May discusses this in a couple of his videos. Jimi Hendrix, an American, had to catch his break in the UK long before he managed to grasp the attention of the US. Once he grabbed the US market, fame followed for him. Thank you for your reaction.
Supertramp. Favourite band of all time! Jimi Hendrix, the greatest of all time on guitar (closely followed and maybe surpassed by Jimmy Page?) like Bonham, greatest of all time on drums, (closely followed by Neil Pert from Rush)
lol should be what usa bands cracked outside usa besides kiss and guns and roses lol
@@paulsmirk2046 Hendrix is American
@@murray7584 He certainly is. Jimmy Paige (the Brit) was almost as revolutionary a guitarist is Jimmy in my opinion
I grew up listening to the Moody Blues; ''Tuesday Afternoon'' is one of my favorite songs.
I was really surprised that Duran Duran was not on the list at all even in the honorable mentions.... They certainly had a similar sized impact to Depeche mode and The Cure
Yeah, I agree.
Duran Duran were appalling. Average songs driven by style over subsatnce and all pushed by glam videos. Le Bon was a dreadful singer too.
Same! DD is definitely more popular than the Clash or the Cure
@@spanishpeaches2930 I remember a lot of ugly dudes who couldn't play music didn't like them... Lots of Led Zeppelin and Bon Jovi fanboys
It does say classic in the title
I’m so surprised ELO didn’t make the top 10, seeing they appeared on the midnight special a record 18 times. ELO carried on where the Beatles left off. Absolutely gutted 😭 🇬🇧❤️🔥
David Bowie, Dire Straits... the list goes on
Incredible really 😳
Its going by the most successful in the States.
@@jasonturner8509 Yeah, but Def Leppard had a lot more success than The Cure, if we consider album sales for example. Still they don't make the top 10...
I think they were trying to include a range of styles, so some of the more obvious bands didn't make the cut.
Not bad for a tiny island 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦
We are brilliant and not just pop groups! Must be something in the water 😄

No not really. At heart we're just a little bit crazy as a nation, and that when it's allowed out is expressed in a multitude of ways. Creativity has always flourished when it's not boxed in and restrained...
No isn't it and we are tiny island with a big punch, when it comes to music, film, stage and literature. I think it is just our DNA, that we are creative. I think our eccentricity helps too. We are alloweed to be creative . I could list many, many more bands and sols artists.
@@elizabethchapman9523 You could never beat USA at Movies and TV Series
And hence you watch far more American movies and tv than the other way around.
I love that when I watched this my 7 year old was singin with most of the songs
I myself am 26 and it makes me feel so good that my son even know these songs .
Don't know why but I feel proud
It feels good that young people like you get informed on music history with such genuine curiosity; yet we shall embrace changes and young people experimenting new genres
The Beatles made it in 1963 and split in 1970- just 7 years. Yet look what they did. Will never be repeated.
Uk has always been limitless when it comes to musical talent! 💜
You can literally do a top-10 for every single genre from England and still not scratch the surface of the talent there. Next to all my new wave bands, I was always a huge fan of British pop. I've missed you Jay! It's so good to see you back my friend!! 🖤🖤🖤
England 🤣 UK when Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are doing good but England when it’s English having success. We really do need independence from England 🏴
@@Peelywalley I agree with you 100%. I'm in Canada, 53 now 😱 but was raised in Belfast until I was 12. I have a lot of Scottish friends, people in England say they want to move to Scotland the way Americans say they want to move here to Canada 😂🤣😂😂🤣
@@Peelywalley the person making the comment above is obviously not British. These replies are silly. What are you two even talking about?
@@Peelywalley I have seen plenty of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish claiming their own talents when it comes to music etc, why is it different if the English do it? Stereotypes and xenophobia rampant in the UK as always! Does it make a difference that every band shown in this video are English? Maybe they should just rename the title and paste a nationalist culture warning for the soft hearted!
@@Peelywalley All of these bands are English, so maybe they are offended they're classed as British bands too! I'm not interested in your nationalist issues, I just like good music!
So many left out & not even mentioned, first and foremost The Bee Gees. They were huge. I’m pretty sure they hold a unique record for having the top 5 selling singles on the U.S chart.
Australian though!
@@susancolman7911 Nope. Born on The Isle of Man to English parents, raised in Manchester. They relocated the Australia later in life.
@@ThisCharminManc at the age of 5
@@MON-ud7sw so not Australian then.
Their careers started in Australia
Honestly, they should have done a top 10 by decade. Too many talented musicians. 💜💜💜
Or maybe a top 10 by year...
So many other great bands - from Black Sabbath to Duran Duran to The Pretenders to Cold Play - it goes on
No we should apologise for coldplay.. I can't stand attention seeking fake chris martin.. I genuinely would prefer to stick pins in my testicles rather than listen to an entire coldplay song.
While I agree with most on the list, the order is another matter. Especially, Queen being so low down.
Geezus, so many great British bands...there are so many. more than 10 for sure that made waves all over the world. Def Leppard was a great band that had so many good albums before Hysteria hit North America and made huge waves.
Yeah I was very surprised Def Leppard weren't there too
you could easily do a top 200
Well, Def Leppard made it huge in America with their previous album "Pyromania" and "Hysteria" got big outside of the US first - it didn't get big in the US until "Pour some sugar on me" became a belated hit.
Britain has certainly produced some talented bands over the decades. I could name many more. I grew up listening to these bands and being a Brit makes me proud. We are onlly a small island, but there is a lot of talent on these shores past and present.
I'm American and I'm too lazy to list the 500 great British bands. There are too many; personally I like the MOODY BLUES and TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
@Elizabeth Chapman. Not only has Britain produced talented musicians, but how about the vintage comedy TV programs. I live in the U.S.A, in the State of Minnesota. Living not far from the Canadian border, I grew up watching a television station from Winnipeg, which offered the clearest reception. I long for those days, when my favorite programs were on the air. THANK YOU!
It's the back-and-forth that made all that amazing music possible. Rhythm and blues came up out of Black culture to sweep through America, changing popular music, which then crossed the pond and influenced music being made in Britain, creating that great flowering of the 60's, and that music jumped over again and changed American music, making it fuller, giving it more plasticity, etc., etc. It's like a fantastic balloon being batted to and fro, caught and spun and tapped back by all the wonderful, talented people who had the reach. :)
It has produced a while lot of shit as well.
It's amazing how much good music comes out of the UK. A good 30% of what gets airtime in Canada comes from there, maybe another 45% is US in origin. Most of the rest is domestic; so maybe 20% Canadian.
Yeah but I could say the same for Canada, produced some truly amazing artists/bands /singers Bryan Adams is a legend and I'll fight anyone who says Sum 41 aren't one of the best skate punk bands ever lol
british music is my heritage, my love❤️ (I’m danish)
And we adore your Wienerbrød. Fair swap.
I love Danish music too ... "I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world" is an all-time classic
Angles, saxons and jutes is from Danemark.
Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd didn't just crack America, they cracked the World! 🤣🙏😎
Zeppelin ? London based ?
WTAF ?
NO !!
Planty is from my neck of the woods, the West Mids. He still lives here in Worcestershire, about 5 miles from me. Bonham was from Redditch, also in this county. In fact, the town has a statue in his honour.
The Midlands officially and hereby lays claim to Led Zep !
True....the narrator said all the bands were from London!! Black Sabbath also from the Midlands......🤭💃💃💃
‘London based’ means the band was formed in London which it was regardless of where the members come from
Well l hope no idiots tear it down! Where exactly do you live then???? ♥️🤭😄
And Jimmy Page was from Epsom Surrey and John Paul Jones was from Sidcup Kent. Not London.
Definitely Def Leppard should have been in that list. They have 2 albums that have RIAA Diamond certification which were Hysteria and Pyromania. They are one of only five rock bands to have these two original studio albums sell over 10 million copies each in the USA and they're still going strong today. British legends in my opinion
the problem with the NWOBHM which they were lumped into was a second wave of bands that were already there like Purple, Sabbath etc. So they didn't "break" into the US so to speak.
Fantastic. I saw then when they were backing other Liverpool bands, superb, amazing. 👍🇬🇧
And the drummer was one armed. That's really impressive
Hey Jay, it’s so heartening to see someone from the younger generation singing along to these classics. It made my English heart smile - thank you x
This was soooooooooo great!!
I loved this video & your love of these bands is the best. Jay, your memory is epic. How far this journey has taken you...
Seeing your face light up with each band and seeing you sing along makes my day 🇬🇧 you’ve come along way 🍻 cheers 😁👍🏼
I actually sang with ELO when I was 13 in a concert in the U.K. they did a charity song for my school. There was a massive crash on a school trip I was on where a lot of my friends died. Hagley R.C RIP my friends x The song was Perpetual light 🙏🏼
Awwww. I'm so sorry to hear this. 💔💔💔
@@catmother4214 Thank you. It was a very long time ago.. but I think about them often as I’d known them since I was 5 yrs old. I try to be positive and be the best I can possibly be as life is too short! 🥰
@@sineph30 ❤️❤️❤️
Bro, love your passion for music. U tripped me out singing along to Clash, and recognising so many groups names before the narrator mentions them. This brings people back to ur channel. Keep it up!
I think that they for sure missed an honorable mention of an artist that is 3rd in the world to sell as many albums by himself and with the band he was in, Genesis, PHIL COLLINS. 1st artist to the most Michael Jackson and 2nd Paul McCartney.
I was surprised that Genesis wasn't on this list!
Please Genesis without Phil Collins😅🤣
@@Miristzuheiss Hasn't Phil always been with Genesis? He was the drummer then lead singer.
@Theheatherjane - Phil joined after their first album (From Genesis To Revelation Genesis) and left before their last studio album (Calling All Stations), but rejoined for the tours following the Calling All Stations tour.
@@ianfortier6796 I didn't know that, thank you.
This list has 4 groups from the original 1960’s British Invasion. I was 13 when I first heard The Beatles on the radio in Dec of 1963. Then the Invasion began in 64’. There was The Dave Clark Five, The Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Searchers, Freddie and the Dreamers, The Swinging Blue Jeans, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, The Animals, The Kinks, The Zombies, Manfred Mann, The Yardbirds, The Bee Gees, The Hollies, The Moody Blues, The Troggs, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, and Small Faces. I may have forgotten a few but this is a list you should check out. You won’t be disappointed.
BeeGees are Australian, as are Dire Straits.
@@abushenob Thanks. I never knew that. Being from that time period, I don’t recall their origins ever being mentioned. Not having the Internet then 😝 kids often made assumptions.
@@mdfield1 I know - I always thought any accent that was not Caribbean was British. I am even older than you, grew up in a rural area and knew nothing. Imagine my awakening when I arrived at college in my first big city ever (Washington) and first heard radio stations like "the Wonderful WOOK" that played mostly Black artists. I remember when the Beatles first arrived; I loved their hair but thought nobody would ever dare walk down the street with hair that long (now in videos it looks short to me). From the arrival of Elvis, Bill Haley and the Comets and Jerry lee Lewis through the mid 70s, popular music was on an exhilarating ride, getting more and more creative and wild all the time. Then - Disco. All good things come to an end - of course there continued to be good stuff, but the anything goes era had ended.
@@abushenob Born in Isle of Mann from English parents, moved to manchester and then emigrated to Australia
@@peterbailey6151 Thanks - I didn't know that. I think the first song I heard of theirs was "Holiday" and then "Massachusetts". I really liked their early stuff. It took me longer to warm to the music they did after "Saturday Night Fever" featured their music - but they were truly one of the greats.
For a young American man your so well informed about music✊perfect person to react, the length of time you covered & bands you were very familiar with is amazing.
Enjoyed this very much✊😍👏♥️
(Radio Head?)
I'm amazed and sad that Slade didn't break America. 16 studio albums, 5 live albums, and over 50 singles, 6 of them between '71 and '73 going to number 1 in the UK charts.
@@BertSmithLondon Don was still recovering from the car crash and his memory was gone, but that only meant they couldn't learn or play any new songs. They lived and toured there for 2 years. I just don't think the Americans got it.
Slade were awesome but didn't make the transition. Status Quo who I would have thought would have been a crossover band due to the basic blues riffs....never did.
Agree, Slade should have but Don was recovering and Jim became ill.
This was point where they were forgotten about in Uk hence their album when returning entitled Whatever happened to Slade.
Loved them then…Love them now
@@gypsyroadhog they lost me after We'll Bring The House Down.
Too English in my opinion
Love seeing an American sing along to classic British music, fair play to you my man
Oh wow !!! This was fantastic !!! Freddie Mercury still gives me chills but then all of these who you mentioned sure made my youth pleasant !!! And they all still bring joy to all of us! 💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️💯. OMG! Robert Plant too !!! 💋💋💋. OMG !!! The Rolling Stones! 💋💋💋. Etc Etc Etc. 💜💜💜. Well, the Beatles of course too! I was REALLY young then !!! Well, we ALL were young then !!! 💛😄💛
Always love your videos. The Cure are my favourite band, i saw them live in London a few years ago and I am seeing them again here in northern Ireland in December. The play for over 3 hours, no breaks amazing
Great Britain is far and away the most talented popular music producer on the planet from the 1960s onwards, in any metric you want to measure. The only country we defer to in anyway is the USA, a country 6 times the size. Even then most well known musicians from that side in the pond reference many British artists as inspirations in their musical journeys.
I agree 1000% mate.
@Bert Smith - I am talking population not land mass either way we punch well above our weight.
The Beatles themselves reference america as their inspiration
In fact the Beatles named their band after an american band - Buddy Holly and the crickets
They are masiv fans of american music
Paul McCartney is to this day.
@@BertSmithLondon Most genres were invnted by america
Rock and roll was invented by America. So was Blues, R and B, Pop, Grunge etc.
@@neilboulton9813 The entire British music scene was a direct descendant of America
If you don't believe me, ask the Beatles themselves.
Some other great British bands: Deep Purple, Procul Harum, Eurythmics, Dire Straits, Prodigy, Oasis, Blur
You are such a wonderful young man and I truly enjoy how far you have come on your musical journey .... keep up the good work
I am not sure how this video popped up on my recommendations, but I enjoyed it, I am very impressed by your knowledge of music Jayvee
New to this channel but this bloke comes across as such a lovely man with amazing teeth.
First time seeing one of your vids man ... you have a better knowledge of british bands than I do as a british person.. so cool to see from an American ... have a sub!
Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce (Bass) and Ginger Baker on drums

A few more mentions: Radio head, Elton John, OMD, Manics Street Preachers, the Animals, Fleetwood Mac and Adele to mention just a few. Great video as usual! 🤟 - from 🇬🇧
The British have the best bands in the world ever!
Great reaction ! I forgot about the Stones too, lol. Was thinking yeah, Dire Straits for sure.
Hi JV, Always amazed when I was in the U.S in late 80s having arguments with Americans about half the bands you mentioned being American and not British! Remember 1 row about Genesis who were formed in my current hometown (Godalming) I've worked for half the members either their private recording studio's or private homes and can assure you they're British! Try telling that to Americans who were adamant that the Stones were definitely from U.S and what am I on? When I managed to convince them (Eventually!) they thought I was with the band because I knew so much about them! (This was in L.A and no I didn't get laid off the back of it!) On a more serious note if the U.K only had one thing to be proud of it would be our contributions to the world of popular music many glaring omissions on this list Supertramp, E.L.O, Yes, Dire Straits, Genesis and many many more from every genre and decade since Best Wishes Dude Jim, Surrey, U.K
You would've never gotten that argument from Americans who were around and who are old enough to have experienced the British invasion and subsequent 70s progression of the most incredible music.
@@lindazee Hi Linda hope that's the case this was 33yrs ago so no Internet etc but still? X
@@druidswillow1052 even with no internet, we KNEW our bands very well...who they were, where they were from, what they liked/hated, what they listened to, etc.. I sometimes think that the internet hasn't improved our relationship with information in a deeper, more meaningful way. We knew bands because so much information was available through the radio DJs, especially here in the U.S. on FM radio, music magazines, TV music programs, intelligent interview programs, and lastly, great, live shows. How the folks in the 80s got it so wrong, is a head scratcher for me. Even my kids who grew up in the 90s, are generally very knowledgeable about British-based bands. I'm glad to see all these artists get the recognition today that they still deserve. 😊
@@lindazee Hi Linda It's not just the U.S I was giving my friend's teenage son a lift into town and had my favourite Beatles tracks playing and he went "Who's this?" I thought he was joking and sarcastically said The Beatles and he went "Oh they're quite good" I mean "Quite good" is possibly the biggest understatement of all time! Teenager's have no excuse these days with all the music/info on Internet but like you say we used to obsess about bands we loved getting every scrap of info we could get from music mags & papers and TV, I watch a lot of young american's reaction channels and the thrill of someone hearing/seeing music that I love and grew up on makes me happy, watched young people literally start crying when they hear "Time" by Pink Floyd etc makes me quite jealous! I feel lucky growing up in the 70s what a decade Glam Rock, Disco, Funk, Soul, Heavy metal, Punk & New Wave, Prog rock etc if you click on my pic I think it takes you to my playlists feel free to have a look I'm sure there's something you'd like Cheers Jim, UK X
@@druidswillow1052 hahaha that truly is a major understatement. Music education here in the States has taken a huge hit these last few decades. I'm glad that, at least, the interest in music from other eras appears to be buoyed by reaction content online Thanks so much, Jim. I'll be sure to check out your playlist!🎵🎶
I love that you mentioned Dire Straits.
"Money for Nothing" has, in my oppinion, the greatest guitar riff af all times. Only problem is the 1min. 36sec. intro before the riff kicks in (HARD!).
Sting being co-writer and co-performer on the song is quite a plus as well. :)
Brothers in arms is my all time favourite song.
There are so, so many more. 😁 Genesis, Culture Club, Erasure, Yazoo (or “Yaz” in the US) and so on.
There are so many more British bands that deserved to make it big in the US but the market is so much more difficult. The UK is only 650 miles top to bottom, it's possible to tour the UK comprehensively in 15 gigs. And the BBC radio coverage covers the whole country. The US is massive, you'd have to tour 52 States each of which has its own radio stations for press opportunities. You need years of touring to break the US market.
You know your stuff!
I met a NJ Asian in NYC who said he likes British music.
He only knew of The Beatles haha
Whenever you see a movie that’s set in the 80s it’s always full of British bands. Even now with the Netflix show, stranger things. It’s relaunched Kate bush to a younger generation with running up that hill.
Check out The Who's "I Can See for Miles," their biggest USA hit single (from 1967).
Really enjoyed your reaction pal. It’s great to see you love and know your music
I was wondering why we Brits are well regarded innovators in some areas - music, comedy, television and film etc.. I've come to the conclusion it's that we're not scared to get a bit "edgy". America seems quite "safe" in its' approach to creative media. I guess it's because risky stuff doesn't always guarantee a profit.
Maybe it's because the UK is a FREE country, and the usa isn't a real country but just a big business.
A lot of the metal came out of the industrial midlands, working class lads born in grime and pollution. The edge was real because they grew up with discontent.
@@darthwiizius Yes, it mostly came from hard working class towns or areas in cities. Pubs had a lot do with it I think, all gone to the shitter now though.
Both the Beatles and the Stones cited American Black Music as major influences. Their Twist and Shout was a cover of an Isley Brothers song, for instance.
@@ashyclaret
Unfortunately I fear you are correct.
One band not listed is Genesis. Their original sound was geared for the British market. (You might check out their "Foxtrot" album.) The changed it to appeal to the U.S.
Amazing bands! Cool to see you react to this 😊
Makes you proud to be British. I was expecting Culture Club in the list but so many were missed out. Mojo should have done a top 20 :))
More like a top 100.
I would add
Echo and the Bunnymen,
Simple Minds,
The Moody Blues,
The Communardes,
Squeeze,
Marillion.
Dr Feelgood,
Orchestral Manaeovers in the Dark,
The Human League,
The Smiths.
I could go on but l won’t.
@@lizbignell7813 Completely agree :)
Make room for Status Quo please.
@@esclad I'm incredibly proud to be American
Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beach Boys, Eminem, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and so on the list is endless
Not to mention the Beatles themselves were masiv fans of American music. They literally named their band on Buddy Holly and the crickets, an American band.
One of the best reaction videos I’ve watched. Respect!
Britain's, now legendary, Spinal Tap is not on this list.
Whose anthology is hewn into the living history of rock - with timeless classics like "Big Bottom", "Sex Farm", "Stonehenge", "Rock and Roll Creation" and "Break Like the Wind" - among many, MANY, other classics ...
This band revolutionised rock music by making their amplifiers go up to 11 - 10% louder than anybody else.
yes but they were american doing british accents, but did a fantastic job of it.
@@rumbled5461 (I know - I'm just being naughty. It's a fine line between being stupid and clever)
😂
I don't know if they ever achieved the musical heights of The Bonzo Dog DooDah Band though.
Loved your reaction and your singing along. Still loads of quality bands that got missed. Moody Blues and your suggestion ELO, even Def Leppard. Now to go and see my thousands of tracks and realise the great bands I've left out. Best Dave
This vanished I'm glad it came . Oh gosh I feel old now lol so many good bands nice one Jay. 😊😊
My bet is that it got blocked for The Beatles portion of the video. Notice how the music is not audible on that section of the video, which tells me he muted it and then re-uploaded to pass the UA-cam algorithm.
I am not into heavy rock though my older brother loves it lol, Black Sabbath was one he had me listen to in years gone by lol. The Beatles was a band I listened to and I suppose more gentle music. Dire Straits is another of my favourites and I admit I'm surprised they weren't mentioned. You know your music sweetheart, and I always enjoy listening to your thoughts on what you hear, its wonderful to see a young man who loves music of all genres. Take care and stay safe please my friend, God bless you all, love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK
I m smiling , watching you marvel at my old school bands...Hear THE WHO - EMINENCE FRONT.. incredible opening
Joe Strummer had a pedestrian subway named after him, located on the Edgware Road, London. He used to busk in that same subway when he was a struggling musician. It was opened in 2009 and closed in 2018. The area is being upgraded but the pedestrian subway won't be reopening due to it becoming a target for rough sleepers, drug users, muggers and prostitution.
all true except it opened in 1968 with small shops down there and buskers.
I met and photographed Joe in Select-a-disc, Nottingham in 1985? (this is in a book somewhere) What a top bloke and super nice guy, I was 20 I think. I still have the photographs. So humble and gracious and had an aura. Well missed.
He was also the son of an admiral and pretended to be working class.
@@johnholt9399 Wrong and wrong again, at least get your facts right before spouting lies.
@@ChrisCrossClash my mistake his father was an MBE and senior secretary in India with the civil service so pretty similar level to an Admiral and he went to boarding school from 10 at the City of London Freeman’s Public School school. So I am glad you clarified for me his working class roots - loads of working class people go to independent boarding school at 10 and have daddy’s with MBEs - still a total total fraud !!
Music is probably one of our biggest exports. We are quite good at it!
A lot of British music grew from black American and Caribbean roots. Blues, ska, reggae all had very strong influences on the development of modern British music. Add in the peculiarly home grown music, especially prog rock and punk, and it's no wonder that Brit music is so influential worldwide.
Saw the Cure in Johannesburg... They amazing live
definitely needs to be a top 20 or even a top 30
For a small country we punch above our weight - so many good bands that could put forward a case to being included.
Depeche mode are fantastic
It doesn't matter what order you put them in, we all have our favourites.
As someone who bought my first record in London in 1960 and had The 1970s as his golden period to go (Zeppelin/Sabbath/Purple/Wishbone Ash/Yes eic)
everyone simply "Bets Without The Beatles" and their 230 varied songs and goes from there:).
Ask 100,000 music UK fans and you will not get an identical Top 10. It's almost mathematically impossible.
Brilliant! A young man hooked on Real music. Singing along to songs that are older than he is!
If there is one area that as a Brit I am proud of is our music. For such a small Island we have produced some of the finest artists ever. Even those who didn't quite break the American market they are still phenomenal. I think breaking the American market is 20% talent and 80% luck. If you take someone like Suzi Quatro she couldn't quite crack it in America so came to the UK and she flew and she is still for me the first lady of Rock. The Killers couldn't get into the American record companies but they came to the UK and the rest was history. It works for both Countries we are the two biggest countries in the world for pure talented artists. The most famous artist who couldn't get signed was none other than Jimi Hendrix. Chas Chandler was part of the Animals and his then girlfriend was going to a club to see this artist story goes he went along and the rest was history he was the man who discovered Jimi Hendrix
US has Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beach Boys, Grateful Dead, Nirvana, Bon Jovi, Bob Dylan, Barbara Streisand
US has masiv music contribution.
Muse should be on the list. They performed in Manchester UK a while ago, and Tom Morello - AKA Rage against the machine, Audioslave guitarist etc joined them on stage
My favorite music was/is probably 97% British bands. Never a fan of the Beatles. I loved the Moody Blues so much more. They were my best friend pretty much all my life! I really loved the Prog-rock sound that came directly out of the UK - ELP, Yes, Genesis - and so many more!.
ELP Yes and Genesis are up there with the best.
Where is Bowie?
@@patriciabailey1937 ....so many more...(?)
You know what's funny though, (and you just reminded me of it) I was a flag twirler in HS and at Flag Camp we had a competition and we did our routine to Bowie's Fame. We won!
You know your music...i like it when somebody talks about something he actually understands... makes the channel makes the videos seem legit 🙏
I can't understand why E.L.O. wasn't even honorable mention. Are they not British?
Yes they are and I cannot understand it myself
Jeff lynne is a rock god. He’s in his mid seventies now,where’s the fucking hell is his knighthood?
@@johncorrall1739 he definately deserves one
Or the amazing status quo
Of course they're British!
So good to see an American who knows so much UK music!
Hi jayvee. Try a couple of my personal favourites.
The kinks …something else
Genesis…selling England by the pound
Good luck from Liverpool !
I think they said ‘pre 1990’ … as in the 90’s there were a raft more. Some of the best ever in fact .
They could have made the top 30 there are a lot that I know that were left out!
You know your stuff Jayvee. I'm surprised Herman's Hermits were not on the list as they had several US noner ones.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience....
A quick scan of the comments and I haven't seen anyone mention Supertramp. They were quite big at one time.
Jay, please do check out more of The Clash. I see you've hit their biggest 3 tracks, but check out Train in Vain, The Magnificent Seven or The Guns of Brixton for more of their best.✌
That bassline on Magnificent Seven,awesome.
All of London Calling is worth doing. Their debut album is great too.
I love your enthusiasm J! Was a joy to watch you sing along to these 🙌🏽
You have an incredible depth of knowledge of British bands.
You can't make a top 10 list without leaving out some great bands, because there were so many!
But Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Deep Purple have to be on it.
Loved this, your obvious passion for music is infectious. So many more great bands from here but I'm sure you already know them 😃😃🇬🇧
Def Leppard and The Eurythmics should've been on that list. And UB40, Duran Duran, and Tears for fears should've been in the honorable mentions.
UB40 only have about 2 or 3 good songs.
@@matthewjamison you're wrong smh
@@wherestheexit5572 It's my personal taste & opinion. So, it's impossible to be wrong.
What about The Bee Gees.? They were a British band that formed in Australia. Their Managment company was NEMS, the same as The Beetles, Cream w/Eric Clapton. What about the Moody Blues?
The video is about bands that broke into the US NOBODY had more US hits than the Bee Gees except the Stones and Beatles. They had 5 of the top 10 on the charts in one week, wrote #1's for other artist and the biggest selling movie soundtrack at the time with SNF. Always disrespected.
Almost every one of these is like a time machine for me. Instead of a white haired old lady, I am suddenly a slim, fit pretty young woman from my teens to my 30's. This is the music I grew up with.
I’m sure you’re still pretty and beautiful too (:
There's a lot of UK bands that didn't crack the US too...Jam, Paul Weller , Madness ,Sex Pistols (weren't on the list but kind of cracked the US albeit briefly), Genesis, ELO, Motorhead, Radiohead (also cracked the US, didn't they?) ,Deep Purple, Kinks, Jamiroquai, Dire Straits, Cold Play, Take That, Small Faces, Fleetwood Mac (both incarnations), BeeGees, Oasis....There's loads the US missed at the time...but now we have the internet...so....
Hi man, while the Bee Gees were born in UK, they moved to Australia in their infancy and are recognised as an Ozzie band, so probably why they were not in there
Once someone talks about the 2 incarnations of Fleetwood Mac then I know they know their stuff:)
@@Boogie597 They're only recognised as an Oz band by Ozzies, they're British. Born on the Isle of Man to both English parents and lived in Manchester England before moving to Oz for only 9 years, they then moved back to England and they were never Australian citizens. They just British, get over it.
As someone who bought my first record in London in 1960 and had The 1970s as his golden period to go (Zeppelin/Sabbath/Purple/Wishbone Ash/Yes etc)
everyone simply "Bets Without The Beatles" and their 230 varied songs and goes from there:).
Ask 100,000 music UK fans and you will not get an identical Top 10. It's almost mathematically impossible.
Too man great bands to count back then - Yes, 10cc, Supertramp, The Hollies, Jethro Tull, Average White Band, Genesis, ELO, Rory Gallagher... and many many more. It was a great time.
@@BoingBB 100% Right...Zeppelin, Argent, Curved Air, Wishbone Ash, Pink Floyd, The Faces, The Who, The Kinks,Black Sabbath,Moody Blues etc:)
I’m English and forgot how many amazing bands we had 😂 yay us!
Left Out?.... If I could type for the next 12 hrs solid... But let's say a thousand from The Kinks and Procol Harum to Duran Duran and lets make it slightly modern... Coldplay, Muse, Radiohead... And Biffy Clyro and Kasabian.
It's based on pre-1990 which leaves out bands such as Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, Oasis, and Arctic Monkeys. Duran Duran should have had some sort of honorable mention. And perhaps they should have explained how U2 is technically not part of the UK, being that their an Irish band. I think most people consider them "British"
@@bryanstarke2931 good points
I remember Duran Duran and Genesis being huge in the '80s.
And Def Leppard.
So many bands from the 60’s alone. Steve Marriott and Small Faces. Steve’s voice is stunning, soul, some gospel, passion, RANGE! Good Gawd like a freakin small (yes that’s how they got their name) Powerhouse , not a big man. Studio versions are best or TV appearances. A lot of bootleg rough live stuff. Put your head phones on, you know what time it is✌️😘His voice will blow you away Jayvon. Tin Soldier, itchycoo Park, Whatch Ya Gonna Do About it, Lazy Sunday, All or Nothing❤️❤️❤️. Marriott never made it big here with Faces. His real acceptance was with Forming Humble Pie about 1969. Young Peter Frampton became part of the band Humble Pie. Here’s a slow version of For Your Love. Frampton was probably 18-20 here! ua-cam.com/video/W0gkMzies2U/v-deo.html. Was before be played on George Harrison “All Things Must Pass” Checkout Humble’s 30 Days in the Hole, amazing
Agreed Steve Marriot and small faces..
Your knowledge of UK bands is respectable!
We are the sultans, The Sultans of Swing!
The Faces
The Kinks
Not sure of these bands success in the USA. King Crimson, Jimi Hendrix Experience (band was formed in UK), Yes, Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks, Genesis, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, T. Rex, Judas Priest ... and many more, deserved at least a mention.
