There are too many. Obvously, The Beatles The Who Led Zeppelin The Kinks Rolling Stones Small Faces/Faces Queen Just for starters. I would include ELO in any list but they are Jeff Lynne plus musicians. Edited by TheJudge (22 Apr 2015 12.44pm)

Check this out! [Link] Steve Hughes' hilarious rant about X-Factor, listing some of the wonderful bands the UK has produced. Filmed at 'Live at the Apollo' in 2011. For me: Supertramp Beatles Pink Floyd Squeeze Led Zeppelin Supporting Crystal Palace since 19.45 on 29th August 1972 (approximately)!
