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

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.

I'm not trying to be controversial or get people riled just for the sake of it but I'm very familiar with every well known British rock band and I put Black Sabbath at number 1. At least for their first 6 albums. I have indeed had The Beatles as my favorite band at some point. I like and respect The Stones too, and so on. But Black Sabbath had it all. The heavy riffs with the distinctive tone, the unique voice, the melody lines, the atmosphere, the rhythm section, and the genuineness. People are usually quite dismissive of them in a silly elitist way because they mostly know them for simple, catchy songs like Paranoid and Iron man, which is like knowing The Beatles purely for I Want To Hold Your Hand and Day Tripper. They also paved the way with prog metal with albums like Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage.

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.

@@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.

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

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.

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
