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.
