Well, heaven knows I’m miserable now.
That one doesn’t grab me for some reason, but different strokes and all that.
I’ll toss this one in for an obscure ‘90’s song with interesting male vocal and funky backward slomo video:

We’re doing this again?
Wow. Love XTC. Most of my music buds don’t even know about them.

I blame that on Richard Branson, he didn’t want to support them once they stopped touring.
In the song Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, the verse “Check out guitar George, he knows all the cords “ is Angus’ brother.
Wow, Def Leppard higher than the Kinks? And in terms of impact, influence and popularity the Beatles are untouchable.

I know he is not a band, but no one mentioned David Bowie. He had more influence than most of the bands mentioned.

The Spiders-era Bowie was for all intents and purposes a band, with Mick Ronson.
I’ll go back to Saucerful of Secrets & Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Too bad the hangers on melted Syd’s brain.

The Beatles are really in a class by themselves. Especially after they stopped touring.
A well-rounded band needs studio time and at least some touring later in their career.
“But if it wasn’t for The Beatles, you wouldn’t have all those other bands.”
That’s very true. They launched the British Invasion.
In DC where I lived we were listening to them for a few months before they appeared on Ed Sullivan. Some girl had come back from London with a stack of Beatle records and gave them to our local rock station.
The other heavy hitter of the British Invasion was the Rolling Stones. The Beatles and Stones were in a league of their own. They aren’t my favorite British bands but they were certainly the most influential.
Beatles music, I like the early stuff up to Beatles For Sale, Revolver, Rubber Soul. The later albums just never appealed to me.
What came as a surprise to me is that when the Beatles called it quits in 1969 they were all still under 30 yrs old. It seemed like I’d been listening to them forever by then.
Swindon? Am I get there? Roads Girdle the Globe!
That would be the Correct Order. With Stones far, far ahead of the rest.
Just take the English Roundabout.
"Before moving to Australia, Barry, Robin and Maurice were born and spent their earliest years on Ellan Vannin, also known as the Isle of Man, a British Crown dependency."
Imho, Hendrix did more to inspire rock. Just about every guitar player wanted to sound like Hendrix. But let the Brits have their glory, even though Rock N Roll is an American form of music.
