I like Radiohead, Coldplay, and Travis quite a bit. Not much of a fan of the rest, though.

Love your avatar, Sors.

Can someone please define "Brit Rock"? Mayhap I'm just not as up on the classification as I used to be...

Yes what exactly is Brit rock? If it's Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene etc then pffft! Send them in shackles to Australia!

If it's Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, British Sea Power, Mogwai, Aereogramme etc then Rule Brittania!!

Brits, quite simply, make the best music out there, especially nowadays (because of the current music scene), even though I don't consider it a seperate genre, really.

Radiohead, Oasis, some Coldplay, some Verve.

Older stuff, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Blind Faith, the Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Cream. Need I go on?

Nadroj- I had heard lots of good things about Travis, and they definitely sounded like a band I would like from what I've heard of their style, but I listened to some of their stuff, and I was kind of disappointed.

Manic Street Preachers , a bit of Radiohead and U 2 , that is about it at present , Oasis wrote some good songs but overplay made them seem tired.

I think The Darkness are quite good , but for me it's The Manics all the way.

Yeah, I don't really think they're wonderful musicians or anything, but I just like their songs. The guy's voice is nice, and the melodies are usually good. I can see why most people wouldn't be impressed with them, but I like them.

Just being a nitpick but you may find that they're Irish (apart from Adam Clayton of course).

Nico · Nov 20, 2004

most definitely radiohead and mogwai as was mentioned. also i like the doves, although they haven't made a whole lot. rjd2 is good in the hip/hop genre as well. oh, and my bloody valentine also. i like elizabeth fraser's voice from the cocteau twins. i'm sure there are loads others.

My apologies I am like millions of others who first say English then United Kingdom or British ......... I suppose it can be offensive particularly amongst the much loved Scots

No ... well not me anyways ........... because I have been in England most of my life , my mother is English , Father was Manx and I have both Irish and Scottish anscestry ..... I also have a good old Scottish surname.

Hmm...I like lots of Brit rock, and I am assuming that the OP was referring to more recent bands, so I will just name my favorites:

Snow Patrol
Muse
Franz Ferdinand
Radiohead
Coldplay

stonetoflesh · Nov 22, 2004

Ok, I think I understand now.
I dig Mogwai, Spiritualized and a bit of Radiohead's stuff; as far as newer groups go I can't really think of any others offhand.
Some "ye olde Brit rock" I dig: Pink Floyd, early Soft Machine, GONG, Hillage, Deep Purple, Hawkwind, lots of prog-rock (Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, etc.) and on and on-- Most of the groups I like are British or have some British members, it seems...
