OK, I'm bored but not bored enough to go searching for the 100 odd threads where this subject has undoubtedly previously been mentioned.

But I'm interested in what other people think are the top 5 British Bands of all time - whether it be on originality, influence, proficiency or that they just do it for you.

Mine would be (no order):
The Clash
The Beatles
Black Sabbath
The Smiths
Radiohead

Reserve list:
Rolling Stones
The Kinks
The Who
Led Zeppellin
Queen

Let the bitching commence.
