The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Queen
The Kinks
The Animals
The Smiths
The Police
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Eric Clapton
The Clash
Billy Idol
Pet Shop Boys
Depeche Mode
Elton John
U2 (I know they’re from Ireland but still)
The Sex Pistols
Kate Bush
Dusty Springfeild
David Bowie
Mick Fleetwood
The Bee Gees (Don’t correct me saying that they are Australian, they’re NOT. They were born and raised in Isle of Man, England to English parents and they have English accents. They moved to Manchester, UK when they were kids and grew up there. In most of their interviews they talk about Being British, going to school in England, etc… just because they formed their band whilst living in Australia doesn’t mean that they are Australian, same with AC/DC since most of the members are Scottish).
Best British act now:
Coldplay
Kasabian
Radiohead
Muse
Oasis
Mumford and Sons
Adele
Duffy
Ed Sheeran
Amy Winehouse
Florence and the Machine
Arctic Monkeys
The Libertines
Who are your favorites from the list?
Freddie moved to UK when he was a kid and had an English accent and English parents and went to an English school whilst in India. I consider him British.
