Best UK bands for me
Punk: Sex Pistols, Damned , Clash, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Crass
R&B/Blues Dr Feelgood, Alexis Korner, Nine Below Zero
Unclassifiable: Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry (so many different styles of song) and best of all Deaf School. If you haven't heard of them here's a quote from wikipedia
"author and founder of Mojo, Paul Du Noyer, went further: "In the whole history of Liverpool music two bands matter most, one is The Beatles and the other is Deaf School. If that seems like a sweeping statement then consider this: after the pop revolution of the 1960s led by The Beatles and other Merseyside groups, it looked as if the city's music scene had dried up forever. But in 1975 there came a motley band of Liverpool art students called Deaf School".
It is so true. Saw them many times as well as so many other great (and not so great) bands in erics club in Liverpool in the late 70s early 80s. Bands like OMD, Teardrop Expoldes, Big in Japan, Echo and the Bunnymen, Wah, all Liverpool based.

One Direction - One Thing
Don't think they were ever on OGWt but were on Supersonic in 1977! They split up in 1978, but reforemd in 1988 for 6 concerts. Since 2006 they have done a few more including a mini tour last year culminating in 2 gigs in Tokyo. Didn't manage to get to those but did manage to see them 10 times over the course of the year, from London to Birmingham, Chester, Manchester and of course Liverpool.
Had some good guest singers and guitarists at times including Kevin Rowland (Dexys Midnight Runners), Ian Broudie (Lightning Seeds), and Suggs (Madness), know to Deaf School fans as Mr Bright as he is married to one of the singers Bette Bright. If you get the chance to see them I would reccommend it, you won't be disappointed.
