The U.K. has been carefully stitched into the fabric of the history of Rock n' Roll music that it has become damn near impossible to point out one thing that is definitively British. The former mother country has not just influenced the direction of western music but also truly defined it. Where this most apparent is guitar-driven bands. While the U.S. is a nation where the solo artist has flourished (Dylan, Hendrix, Wonder, Timberlake), in the U.K. the band has been king. Sociologically speaking Britain is a much more collectivist culture than the U.S., which probably lends to a supportive environment for world changing bands. So here is a top 10 of the most influential...
10. Queen
They symbolized Rock n' Roll at its most bombastic. Freddie Mercury and the boys seemed to have felt "why make songs when you can create anthems?" They saw their music beyond even a classical scale. But it is Freddie's flare for the dramatic might be the bands most notable stamp on rock history because without it My Chemical Romance and Panic (now sans !) at the Disco would be a lot more mediocre.
