Quite right, although I personally would put them in the following order:

1 Stones
2 Who
3 Kinks
4 Faces
5 Zeppelin

and then add

6 Cream

The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
The Who
Led Zeppelin
The Small Face

They're the five classic rock'n roll bands I like, but theres a whole host of more recent bands I realy enjoy too. The Clash, The Smiths, New Order The Stone Roses and 90's bands like, The Manic Street Preachers, Blur, Suede, Oasis and so on.

2. Beatles

The Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix Experience (oh yes, they were a British band, even if Jimi is amer.)
The Yardbirds
Fleetwood Mac (with Peter Green)

If you disqualifie Jimi Hendrix, then add Thin Lizzy (maybe more Irish then British).

Stones
Beatles
Who
Zeppelin
Bowie (ok he's solo)


Also can we count Hendrix as it took the Poms to realise his genious and put him on the world map.

Do we count U2? They're part of the U.K aren't they?

And I cannot believe someone put Banarama....

Have you ever lent somebody $20 and never seen them again? It was probably worth it.
