Personally I'd say Oasis, or U2. They outclass everyone, imo.

Radiohead are still the best after all these years. They are so good, check out the 'From the Basement' videos on youtube.

Probably...but it wont be from me (although one cannot really argue with the fact that Pete does do smack)! For me Peter's the best lyricist of his generation and you've hit the nail on the head- he's not just singing words, he's singing poems. Just look at the lyrical quality of Time For Heroes, Up the Bracket, Music When the Lights Go Out, Albion, Delivery, UnBiloTitled (with the equally wonderful Peter Wolfe), Sheepskin Tearaway, 1939 Returning, A Little Death Around the Eyes, Lady Don't Fall Backwards...I could go on all night (and probably would!). He's not to everyones taste and I dont have a problem with that (the only time a get annoyed with Peter haters is when they wish him dead- thats just out of order) but the boy is under my skin and will stay that way for life I think!

I'm going by a band that has an actual album out at the moment, so it has to be Kasabian, excellent new album.

i'd like to say Oasis , they are the best band in britain outright alongside Radiohead, Coldplay and U2 etc .... (by the way are U2 british , i'd argue they are in a unwritten rule)
BUT at the moment i'd say the Arctic Monkeys , their last 2 albums are better than Oasis's last 2 , but not "Def Maybe" and "Morn Glory" Don't know about best but my current favourite British band would have to be Snow Patrol. |
