Creep is probable the best known song by Radiohead. I’m sure you must have heard that and liked it.

[@improvesheffield4824]

Sheffield is here, where I'm sat right now watching you ask where Sheffield is! 😃

[@Ayns.L14A]

the Gorillaz were created by Damon Albarn, lead singer and frontman of the 90's band Blur.......

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

They have plenty of american and british guests but the band is drawn by an englishman and all the music and 2ds vocals are Damon, so yeah its an entirely british band. Its basically just 1 guy.

[@benjames9158]

Well tbh all the rappers on their biggest tracks are usually American

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

@@benjames9158 guest artists don't make a band from a certain county. The band is Damn Albarn and he is also the lead singer.

[@majordisorder73]

the album OK Computer from radiohead is a masterpiece

[@Kerazzy.]

Me and my daughter saw Arctic Monkeys live a few months ago and they were amazing. I used to listen to them when I was pregnant with my daughter and now she is 17 and they are her favourite band which is brilliant as they are still making music. Something nice for us to share ❤

[@kjdempsey]

You’re absolutely beautiful

[@Seedated42]

Waiting for there to be a list of some sort that includes Iron Maiden..

Im 46 and have heard of all of them. Still cant stand Muse though.

[@grahamparsons4635]

Muse are from Teignmouth Devon and I'm from Exeter Devon so daw them before they made it big. Thought they were s..t back then still do now. Anyone reading this and does like them fare play each too their own but not my cup of tea

[@angelataylor2049]

[@Forevertrue-z2w]

My favourite UK band is " Depeche mode", I grew up on their hits. I like to listen to "Radiohead", " Massive attack", "Prodigy", and forgotten but magnificent "Talk, talk". " Gorillaz" is a fusion of bands with three hits.

[@productjoe4069]

I was surprised Massive Attack or the Prodigy didn’t make the list (*sideeyes WatchMojo’s obsession with the Beatles and Oasis*). I’m not sure which others may have hit the US charts though. Might be worth looking at a Glastonbury line up some time.

[@DDanV]

Or Tricky, or Portishead. Both had singles peaking in the US Billboard Alternative Songs chart and Portishead had a single peak 53 in the US HOT 100 Billboard. Weird not having at least one genuine trip-hop act from the 90's featured, seeing as they were massive all over at that time. But it's WatchMojo, can't expect much.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

The Mojo narrator is Scouse, so probably why he pushes The Beatles ...and though Oasis is a Mancs band, Liam's 'obsessed' by The Beatles (even naming his son Lennon, fgs !!) So that's the truth of it, I'd say!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😏🇬🇧🙂🧡🖖

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Both good choices (as are @HugoDanielVaz 's in the comments). Pretty sure The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Keane, and Snow Patrol have all been big in the States, too.

[@productjoe4069]

@@jamesdignanmusic2765 thank you! Just looked it up and apparently Goldfrapp have had three US number one singles and a best album Grammy nomination. So they should probably be considered for addition too. ETA: I don’t expect anything from the WatchMojo content farm though. I mean they did a ‘most influential British album’ list and didn’t include either of Tubular Bells or Pink Moon. Radiohead, and many other bands they regularly list, wouldn’t exist without Mike Oldfield or Nick Drake.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

@@productjoe4069 please don't mention Oasis and beatles together. Beatles should always be on these lists.

[@alexfletcher5192]

I remember hearing Coldplay on a CD compilation with a host of other possible breakouts (Sigur Ros were on there, for instance) and I think it was 'Shiver'. But there was also ClearLake doing 'Something to look forward to' and I much preferred that. So never trust my instincts in music!

[@PeterJPickles]

You must have heard Creep by Radiohead.

[@maxytwist]

Listen to the album In Rainbows by Radiohead. Nothing like their earlier albums. My favourite album of all time.

[@glennhole2270]

Radiohead Number 1 Excellent, fantastic band. They are a grower once you've listened a bit.

[@lolsaXx]

Kid A by Radiohead has always been one of my fav albums. My fav song is Optimistic. My parents always had their dd's in the car. We also listened to a lot of the Gorillaz and Coldplay too. So much of the music I love now is music my parents exposed me to from such a young age.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

He'd hate kidA😂 and their lyrics

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

I can't believe Cradle of filth didn't make this list. From Suffolk.

[@Shoomer1988]

You have to put the effort in with Radiohead Connor, it's not really stuff to just have on in the background. It's channelling but put in some time to just sit and listen you start to see the genius.

[@twigletz7384]

He said he doesn't know their music but I bet he's heard Creep! I agree they're genius.

[@Forevertrue-z2w]

"Creep" is a masterpiece👍

[@Dave534]

I am disappointed The Prodigy didn’t make this list my favourite band unfortunately Kieth Flint the lead singer passed away we will never hear his amazing music again

[@emdiar6588]

I've got some good news for you. He recorded a lot of songs and you can still listen to them. I put Fat of the Land on yesterday, and it played fine.

[@WookieWarriorz]

you have to put a radiohead album on with headphones in a quiet room. Theyre like pink floyd you need to listen like you would watch a thriller as opposed to a comedy where you could have it on the background anytime.

[@helenmckeetaylor9409]

I loved your reactions. Despite significant age difference I was right with you, both in likes & appreciate but not for me, comments👍🏻 And as far as not being able to name A genre you like, that's cool. For me it's always been a fairly mixed bag ✌🏼 Carry on 🎶

[@MISSYGful]

Radiohead, yes! OK Computer, chefs kiss

[@alexfletcher5192]

The intrinsic British resistance to folk (especially our own) really has hit 'Mumford & Sons' recently. I mean I have no idea what's working this side of the Atlantic these days, let alone the other, but I have heard of some of these. Maybe they've been around for longer than I thought.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

Maybe in more modern times, but certainly not in the 60s and 70s. I can't stand mmford and sons but artists like Nick drake, Sandy Denny/fairport convention are great. The beatles, kinks and even the rolling stones put out many great british folk songs. Also there were many Americans using british folk songs or influenced by the folk sounds, one of Simon and Garfunkel's biggest hits is a cover of a 60s english folk artist's take on an ancient english folk song.

[@Industrialist2015ofUk]

Muse are so underrated. if you like Clocks, you'l luv Muse's sound!

[@markrobinson3714]

Arctic Monkeys from highgreen Sheffield where I live,Brilliant band 👍

[@alittlecreepywhenyou]

In regards to Radio Head, You need to listen to "OK Computer" and "Kid A". SERIOUSLY! (and you thought ColdPlay was tippy tapping your emotions.) And FFS, listen to it.

[@ltbot78]

[@alexfletcher5192]

Perhaps I'm jaded, but I still think of Gorillaz as 'What Damon did next'. I got into my 50s and hit a wall!

[@tanyathomas4584]

I must of missed read the title lol . I know the names of a few but do not recognise the songs… of course I know oasis the manc bros and the words still mean a lot. So is this what style of music? Asking for a friend. Now ok Coldplay? I love them. The words are fantastic. One of my favourites. My number one was elbow

[@davidberesford7009]

Perhaps you should make a list of pieces of music that you like, then see what they have in common? That might define your music taste.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

If you recognise Gorillaz by the vocalist, have a listen to Blur. Damon Albarn is the singer in both bands. Sheffield is 40 miles east of Manchester.

[@alanmoss3603]

WatchMojo can be pretty random! Take their videos with a pinch of salt!

[@martynnotman3467]

Florence + The Machine are SO GOOD. In fact apart from Oasis who ive never liked much and Muse who I loathe this is a pretty good selection.

[@dannjp75]

So you like Florence, who sounds like a bin full of cats falling down a lift shaft and yet you criticise Muse, one of the greatest bands of the last 20 years. Just as well your opinion isn’t fact.

Love Gorillaz but then I love Damon Albarn (well not him) and always rate Blur over Oasis; who needs a second rate Beatles?

[@blackcrow4218]

I don't get when someone is saying some bands don't do anything to them not knowing their songs it's stupid cose how they know if they never listen to one album. I always do my research if I don't know something I don't give my opinion about that.

" DEPECHE MODE" IS NUMBER 1 UK BAND❤
