Our first Brit list of ’07 and it’s shite alright! BBC radio conducted a listener poll to determine the “greatest British band of all time.” Here’s what the Radio 2 audience came up with after judging “on songwriting, lyrics, gigs, and showmanship.” (via Mirror)
5. Take That
4. Oasis
3. The Rolling Stones
2. The Beatles
1. Queen
Take That, Smiths/Zep/Floyd/Spice Girls.

THE FALL
Take That > Radiohead ?!?
Blur & Radiohead!
Hey, look on the bright side; no sight of The Arctic Monkeys.
Why is Oasis on this list? Oh well at lest they didn’t put up Coldplay. Or Madonna….
The Cure should have ranked higher.
What Oasis is to The Beatles, is what Coldplay is to U2.
There is a serious lack of Blur going on here.
who the fuck ia take that?
Now that Graham Coxon is returning to Blur maybe they’ll regret this list. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2006600477,00.html
the who?
c’mon no radiohead? i mean oasis is pretty good but still…
Since when is Madonna british (Fake accents don’t count)?
Crazy limies…
“My fried egg makes me first thing in the morning…”
Where the fuck is The Who?
My above comment should read, “My fried egg makes me sick first thing in the morning.” So much for commenting in a sleep-deprived state.
The Clash, I mean, how the fuck could you forget The Clash. Same goes for The Who and Radiohead.
Take That is a horrible boyband that spawned Robbie Williams and they don’t even deserve to touch this list with a bloody stick.
Are we seriously forgetting about Wham! ?!?
Seriously?!
queen?! cmon. some fat bottom girl made this list.
while I do love queen, led zeppelin and the who are definately missing
Queen are from England? That’s news to me.
Fuck all of this shite…where’s “IRON MAIDEN”!!!!
Queen is the BEST. BAND. EVER. Glad to see the Brits recognize this fact!!! Freddie forever!
Radiohead!
Flush down the toilet Take That and Oasis, please
did take that sing
“whatever i said, i didn’t mean it, i just want you back for good, wantcha back, wantcha back, i want you back for good”?…
seriously … them?
um, how did the beatles not win? theyre obviously the best band ever, of any country.

i agree with ed. beatles, all the way!
the beatles were a great band but they wernt the best band ever as these people think,i am glad to see the british public have voted the best band to win in QUEEN as there lyrics,songs,live performances showmanship and pure entertainment was better than the beatles and better than any other band,i think the beatles were voted better a few years back when the american public didnt really get them- but they do now! and have helped them to be the best band in the world and most definatly the uk.
No Pink Floyd?????????????????????
No Pink Floyd?????? Dark side of the moon? wish you were here??? The wall????
beatles should have won offcourse
The fact that the Beatles didn’t tour for most of their career doesn’t make them any less of a band in my eyes. They lead a generation and created more masterpeices than any band could ever dream of. Ironically, Queen is my second favourite band after the Beatles..and although I agree that Queen was incredibly entertaining as far as live performance goes..the pure magic of the Beatles is unbeatable.
Queen are the best band,dont even argue with that.
Where are The Clash and The Who????????????
This result must have been arranged for political correctness.
Do not forget that the Beatles disturbed/scared the establishment like no-one will ever do.
After 45 years, John and the golden Beatles remain unbeatable.
How did the Beatles scare the Establishment? How did pop music change anything? It is now harder to improve yourself than it was in the fucking Fifties! So much for the Beatles ‘changing everything’.
of course I Beatles
many may know that the Beatles actually leads
maghanap
Terrible list. only the Beatles and Queen and maybe the Rolling Stones belong. There is no way in hell that Oasis is better than Led Zeppelin, The Who, Black Sabbath, or Pink Floyd. For that matter Radiohead and Muse would beat out Oasis for the best modern british band.and who the hell are Take That?
