426Bring Me the Horizon

427Blue

428Travis

What! They should way ahead Coldplay, Keane and other bands for whom they paved the way! My heart is bleeding every time I think of how fast people forget stuff without it being advertised on every corner.
Travis music is a life soundtrack, it makes you think, smile & laugh, it nurtures you and calms down, it cheers you up and makes you rock, but it never calls for destruction. Travis is music of and for creation!

How are they not on the list? Legendary band from the UK, songs like "Sing" and "Something Anything". Still active today.

Very good, the best band ever, I've never listen so good song in my whole live, the best song is out of my head


430Biffy Clyro

How is biffyclyro not on the top 20 how are the gorrilaz ahead its impossible for the gorrilaz ahead same with the kooks that's not right


431Sixx:A.M.

Sixx:A.M. is Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue, D.J. ashba from Guns -N- Roses formally of Beautiful Creatures and BulletBoys, and James Michael who is a producer and has most likely produced some of your favorite bands and has one hell of a voice.

453Adelita's Way

454Machinae Supremacy

These guys are amazing. They mix metal, 8bit, and techno to create music that not only gamers can enjoy, but anyone else. They should be top 10 at the very least.


455Axxis

456Joy Division

457Plain White T's

458Barclay James Harvest
Still going (in 2 different guises) after 45 years, they were in the forefront of the prog rock trail blazers of the late 60s and 70s. They achieved prenomenal success all over Europe (if not the UK) and played a free concert to 250,000 people in West Berlin. They were also the first western rock band to be invited to perform in pre-Glasnost East Berlin - to an audience of 175,000 people. Their album, "Gone to Earth" is officially the third most popular album since records began in Europe's biggest music market - Germany (Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" being number one). Their classic albums, particularly those made in the 60s and 70s are sublime.

Brilliant band. Active from 1967 until today. Really underrated.
45 years and dozens of great albums should earn them a place high up in this list... But I don't suppose it will! Destined to be under-rated and under-appreciated for ever! People don't know what they're missing.
