Favourite acts your country has produced?

[Liam]

Thought it might be interesting.

List 5 or so of your favourite acts from your own country.

Now, I tend to prefer stuff that isn't from the UK, seemingly, and I don't really dig any of the classic UK stuff (Beatles, Sabbath, Priest, Maiden....I mean, I like them all, I just prefer other UK acts), so here my list is.

David Gray (....fuck y'all)

My Dying Bride

Depeche Mode

The Smiths

.......and.....

...after a little think, The Streets

[YI]

Jamiroquai

Muse

Queen

Oasis

Lemon Jelly or Zero 7...I cannot choose.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Our Lady Peace

Great Big Sea

Rush

The Tragically Hip

Sloan

[Steeb]

The Cure

The Smiths

Jamiroquai

Fightstar

Radiohead

and Guillemots (They were British enough to be nominated for a Mercury award, they count .)

[Guest Grapehead]

Finger Eleven

Our Lady Peace

The Tragically Hip

The New Deal

Metric

[ClaRK! Kent]

Dual nationality, so yeah...

From England - The Smiths, Rolling Stones, Beatles, and lately Muse and Gorillaz. David Bowie too, actually.

From Ireland - The Pogues, Boomtown Rats, Snow Patrol.

I'd say U2, but they've been criminally awful for years and they've now made more terrible albums than good ones.
