Best British Indie Bands

They have the unforgettable songs, simply the most outrageous indie band in the world. THEY MAKE ME love BRITISH INDIE! ~~

They are actually the best band ever. I LOVE every SONG

The verve, the kaiser chiefs and oasis are all pretty good, but honestly who could beat the monkeys? THey beat all the bands on this list just by having such a cool name! Rock on Monkeys! Oh and don't sit down because I moved your chair! LEGENDS! X

OASIS are really #1 INDIE band as well as one of the Great bands of all time... Their lyrical genius is beautifully portrayed with great music.

They are really not appreciated as they should be.!
The gallagher brothers were really great partners.. I wish they re-unite in FUTURE..!

I am a huge fan of the Artic Monkeys but how are oasis not first. They are the hearts and should of British music and there contribution to music has been outstanding. There was not one bad song on the first two albums and even when they had so called "bad" albums, there were still 4 or 5 fantastic songs on those albums

Completly amazing. Can't get any better, seriosly. Its impossible. Best lyrics

OK computer was undeniably the best album ever made! Nothing can compare to it's brilliance and therefore radiohead deserve first place.

Radiohead will musically kick all bands ass
I'm saying, musically.
Not only because is one of my favourites bands, just listen at the OK Computer or Kid A song. I like Arctic Monkeys too, is one of my favourite bands

I can't believe Radiohead is in 3rd place! we are talking about RADIOHEAD! one of the most emblematic bands in the UK, I feel so offended

They may have two eh albums but silent alarm is by far one of the best indie albums of the decade

Simply awesome band love them, can't wait to hear their new album when released! :D

Bloc Party has the most innovative sound of all these groups. Not one of their three studio albums sounds the same. And they feel good music, whenever I have a bad day just turn on Bloc Party problems solved!

Gotta love The Fratellis. Costello Music is just pure awesomeness. I'd love to see them live.

Really loved Costello Music, one of my favourite albums of all times!

Costello music is an amazing album. Great band to see live as well. Awesome! :)

best cool indie band ever, you rock kaiser cheifs... lov the upbeat tempo of last few albums! last album bit slower

Seen them four times, pure class. They are completely and smokers outside the hospital doors seriously needs to be recognised!

They are absolutely amazing I've only heard their first album colour it in but they have a really unique sound

Just orgasmic music! They make my life! This music, words, faces, looks can make you crazy! They are best!

I've been listening to the maccabees for the last 2 years now, I think they are the best of the best british indie bands ever. All I want is for them to bring out a new album!

Moving To New York. Therefore this band should be top of the list.

DalglishIsBack

THE WOMBATS! are amazing the best indie band in the uk now :) they alway make me smile :) I love them :) the best bands always come from liverpool ;)

let's dance to joy division never fails to cheer me up, techno fan, moving to new york... they're just awesome :) (which British indie in general is)

Underrated yet again, they have many good songs and the song "Fire" is one of the best Indie Rock songs of all time.

The best band in history! Each and every album impresses and never ceases to amaze me. The world will catch on soon.

KASABIAN IS AMAZING :O
why the hell would you put a band like kasabian on 15?
if anyone out there has even a bit of music sense they would vote for kasabian
their music is so upbeat and awesome
every song is amazing
i just don't get what is wrong with you people

Such a good band! I love their music and I hope they will make more albums! I really love there B-side to! And there covers, I love everything of them, they are the first indie band I've ever heard and one of the best!

The best band that I ever hear. I love their music. So I think it's best British indie-rock ban! Especially song Luby Loo!

I LOVE the kooks SO MUCH. their music is beautiful. plus they're really handsome. :)

Their music is uniquely Awesome. They don't sound like most of the bands out there, which is why I could Never get bored listening to all of their songs - be it b-sides or covers. They have the best guitar riffs, drums, Kapranos' voice, back-ups etc that make a great band.

On top of that, their live performances are splendid! Which is the reason I fall in love with them in the 1st place. You could never tell the difference from their recorded ones!

One of the Best concerts I've ever seen. Kapranos is a stage animal! They deserve to be at top 10

From the moment I heard them I fell in love. Kapranos got a seriously scary voice - in a good, sensual way. I think a lot of bands on this list are great but Franz Ferdinand will always be my personal favorite.

Absolutely Amazing! Pete and Carl together are too good to not be 1st! Without The Libertines, this list would not be on here and neither would half of these bands exist! Long Live The Libertines! <3 Listen to them, if you haven't already heard their amazing sounds, songs and powerful lyrics.

There amazing. All their songs are sick. I only wish I was able to see them live before they split up. Maybe one day they'll have a reunion gig. Here's to hoping. But, yeah, just wanted to say what a stunning band they are. Love them. So much. Wish they never split. It's a hard *knock* life.

This is the best band I have heard in years. As good as the rest of the bands on this list are, none compares to The Libertines!

Number 20, that's nuts. They moved with the times and were always amazing. Every album from leisure to think tank was incredible.

My number one, but should definitely be in the top 5

X

It's really amazing, I like this band more than many of the top 5 bands! But the popular voice is the voice of the reason! Good Energy since Colombia!

Top 5 at least! No definitely maybe... They're a dead cert.


Although, I'd stick The Damned in too.

Such a good band in british indie.. I wish you vote here and top.

The script are amazing! I think they should really be up there with all the rest o' the epicest bands. I'm not sure why they want me to spell everything incorrectly. Every time I put an ' they say it's better quality. I don't know what's happening there. Awkward.

Coldplay are hardly Indie, they're 95% Alternative Rock, I don't know why they are even on this list. Obviously great band though and consistent too.

saw them at t in the park in 2011 and it just confirmed how much of an awesome band they are. absolutely loved them, got the atmosphere down to perfection. chris martin is such a heart throb <3

Who can forget "The Trick To Life"? Great album, shame about the 2nd though... They had a bright future.

Nnoottiinnddbbuuttvery good motor cycle emptiness yeah! Very good rock ban thier not underrated in rock indie manics boo

Even though I absolutely love the kills, they are semi-English (VVs America) but oh well, I'm not complaining. Thanks for listening to what I had to say!

One of the best bands the world will ever hear, the haunting story of Ian Curtis adds to their mysterious music with his heart felt lyrics.

A source of outstanding inspiration. Hardly can anyone going on seeking for another self-identity, being dissatisfied with the world inside or outside your ego brush around an opportunity of the genuine Dasein

Easily the greatest Indie band, without these none of the other bands on this list would exist

Come on! The strokes definitely have to be in the top ten! Julian calablancas on vocals is amazing and albert hammond on guitar is unreal! Listen to reptilia! Definitely one of their best songs!

This is the real indie wow, just listen and feel the music to make you feel happy

Why is it that this amazing, insperational band is not featured?

Foals is the great band right now! I love Foals. There have own identity and the music. You have to listen first! FOALS FOREVER!
