British music is and always will be awesome

Indeed mate, indeed.

I'll stop spamming the thread after this:

EDIT embed fail

But I do enjoy British music!

Radiohead's my favorite musician(s)/band with Shiina Ringo(not british) (That 2 2=5 is one of my fav's)
Blur's is/was really awesome I liked them a lot more than the gorrillaz

Don't feel like posting stuff no one will watch. Ofcourse there's many others too.

No laroux? No Kate bush? No awesome british metal nads like black sabbath or judas preist?

Eric Clapton - After Midnight (Crossroads version)

Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart - People Get Ready

Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack

I don't know the other two lol

Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell

Yes, British music used to be great (The Stones, Who, Kinks, Beatles, Clash, Police, Stranglers, Jam,...plus Joy Division) and often great and at the same time prententious (Bowie, Queen, T. Rex, Pink Floyd [at times], Peter Gabriel, early Genesis [with P. Gabriel], Blur,...), and then there was the 80s pop and new wave which was successful worldwide for a decade (Depeche Mode, Human League, ABC, Eurythmics, Pet Shop Boys, Madness, The Cure,...).

Let's not forget Kate Bush, my favourite (white) female musician besides Joni Mitchell and Patti Smith. While it was not even her best work, Kate's 2005 comeback album Aerial (after a break of 11 years) had better songs than most of the younger British acts will ever compose in their whole career.

Today Brtish music imo is mostly just pretentious and unfortunately not so great anymore with a few exceptions: Radiohead of course, but this band was founded in the 80s. The XX are one of the few examples of a really good young British band.

The 00 years were the weakest decade so far imo. Some evidence to my opinion: Today most British acts are not really successful anymore outside of Great Britain.
