The beatles The beatles was one of the biggest bands ever to hit British sure . they started really the hole band culture. Until recently they were the biggest sealing artist in British history and will always be remembered in years to come.
Black Sabbath Black Sabbath who featured ozzy and dio as the lead singer. produced some classic songs such as paranoid, war pigs and of course black Sabbath. Black Sabbath truly are a great British rock band rock on ozzy.
MOTORHEAD
QUEEN
MOTORHEAD WITH HIS UNFOGGETABLE GRAVEL VIOCE PRODUCED SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC TO GET ON UR BIKE GO FOR A RIDE. WHEN THERES MOTORHEAD THERS BIKES.
queen will go down in the history books as they were the 1st band to ever produce a music video. Bohemian rhapsody change the way many brits would watch music on there tv. queen are still going today but sadly not with its lead singer (RIP) Freddy
IF U LIKE TO GAMBLE I TELL U IM UR MAN U WIN SOME LOSE SOME ALL THE SAME TO ME :p
Led-Zeppelin Led zeppelin got its name from a type of war time balloon used for transport. The band were explosive and produced songs such as , stairway to heaven , who lotta love featured in issue 3 promo vid. This band is sure to get ur heads moshing
status quo when u think of British rock status quo probably 1st band you think of with hits like rocking all over the world and Caroline they are old school British . and we cant do best of British rock with out them.

sex pistols
slade
Saxon
one of the best well know rock bands of its time the punk rock band spread anarchy all over Britain times of violets and riots this band even had a pop at the queen by producing the song god save the queen saying a big get lots :P to everything at the time .
The one thing that slade most famous for is the massive side burns. apart from that they did a few good songs and had a xmas hit. although slade were a big band of its time i don't think slades music is a popular some of the other acts but still classic none the les.
Saxon still going strong today produced some classic old school metal tracks. heavy metal thunder and wheeels of steeell. are some of the classics by this band and should be in everyone's vinal collection.
Iron maiden
white snake
for anyone who has never herd of this band get a ticket for download go see them live. This band are probably one of the best metal bands of all time with there use of props and classic tunes such as the trooper, can i play with madness, fear of the dark , run to the hills maiden are one of a kind.
this old school band mange to produce music for all different tastes they did soft rock like is this love and they did heavy rock like steel of the night. hear i go agen on my own was the most well known song by then when you think of the snake. ether way its a must have in anyone's collection of British rock.
Def leppard this band featured a drummer who lost his arm in a car crash but came back to be a drummer for a band known as def leppard. they produced lyrics and rifts out of this world and blow the roof of every venue .
