:wtf: Seriously, there's so many. I just wish I could travel back to the Swinging 60s and then watch the music scene grow. I'm proud of the way so many British bands have gone on to shape the way music sounds today. :wtf: Seriously, there's so many.

I'd lead towards either Iron Maiden or Bal-Sagoth (who I believe are from Yorkshire, I may be wrong about that though)

Though it depens on how you determine 'best'
Influential wise again I'd go Maiden but then of course Floyd, The Zep etc
Personally though Maiden/Bal-Sagoth indeed :)

They're a power metal band (though for some reason I found them under Black Metal, I don't see that genre in them AT ALL, I mean, it'd be like calling Iron Maiden Twee Pop...they're just not) from Yorkshire with some of the longest song titles going (Much longer than Nile :p)

Basically they're awesome :D
Insanely good musicians

Oh man i'd totally agree Maiden and Bal-Sagoth best British bands ever! Man we have talent.
What about Venom? They invented Black metal
and Saxon too...man you gotta love NWOBHM bands.

Hmmm, I prefer Swedish/French (Blasphemy I know) Black metal to anything British, Hexenkreis/Deathspell Omega/Marduk etc outshine Venom by a long stretch, they didn't exactly invent it...they just inspired it (Like King Diamond, far from BM but definitely a huge inspiration, and for that, and his falsetto madness, I love him)

I stick with Bal-Sagoth :D

Iron Maiden, the be-all end-all of classic British Metal. But my favourite new British band are Evile, from Huddersfield, they're the best new thrash band around, better than all the American ones cropping up as well.

MUSE!!

But thinking about it we have created most of the greatest musicians of the past 50 years. Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones - even Hendrix preferred living in London and asked to be buried here. We're just too good!

They count because they're British, but then they don't because they're shit. Lawlopinionstatedasfactftw!

In the metal world, I'd go for Maiden, Priest, Onslaught or Sabbat. The best new British band is Sylosis, though.
