Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Who, Hollies are my 5 favorite 1960's British bands. Yours?

Second page already and no one has complained about the name Beatles being mentioned...

How strange...

 

Funny thing is, even though the Who is definitely a 60's group, I feel like they didn't really become a legendary band until 1970-71.

1.Jimi Hendrix Experience
2.Cream
3.Pink Floyd
4.Rolling Stones
5.The Beatles

I consider Jimi Hendrix Experience a British band, most members are British , the band started playing in London and until his death Hendrix was more successful in England than us in the United States.

 

Beatles
Stones
Kinks
Zombies
Bee Gees

 

They are on my list, beacause I love their preTommy stuff most of all.

 

The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
The Who

 

anyone who sees your posting would have been able to guess at least your top four. As for the Who? Post Who's Next, i definitely see you point,

5th is open to DC5 or big jump to Cream

 

In order:

The Rolling Stones
The Beatles
The Kinks
The Move
The Small Faces

 

I agree with your top five, Steve. Completing a top ten would be something like this for me:

6. Small Faces
7. The Pretty Things
8. Fairport Convention
9. The Move
10. The Zombies

It's hard not including Pentangle, The Yardbirds, The Creation, Cream and a few more I'll have forgotten, but there's only 10 places!

 

Yes, the Woodstock film and "Live At Leeds", followed by one of the finest rock albums ever made cemented their place in music history.

 

Not all British bands and not all from the 60's.

 

gawd, realized my list is almost a stereotype: The >>

Kinks

I consider Badfinger 60's, so that will be my fifth.

The Stones are in the mix, along with Led Zeppelin and The Move.

 

Stones
Led Zep (for albums I and II alone)
Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac
Cream
Yardbirds

Maybe John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Alexis Corner’s bands were hugely influential too. The Jimi Hendrix Experience would of course been in there if they counted; Them would have been close.

 

Rolling Stones
Beatles
The Kinks
The Move
Fairport Convention

 

John Lydon thought so to. The Sex Pistols covered Through My Eyes.
