See, this is why I capitalized the word EVER . Although I've heard of these two, can you really say that they're your all time favorite? I'm just asking.

Umm, okay. Since I see you're actually looking for a specific answer. What do you want us to say? We'll say it. You'll agree. You'll be happy. I didn't know there were wrong or right answers to this post.

Just chill ZuMBLe. I was just wondering, in all of British rock 'N roll history, how some new artists could make such a list since there are so many of them. That's all I was doing. If those are cykogirl's favorites, then that's fine.
Well, for a while, all I listened to was Big Band Jazz, Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong. Before and after that, I listened to hip hop and R&B...British music never really appealed to me until recently when I started to listen to a lot of modern alternative rock. I really like Dido's angelic voice. Coldplay is just cool in my opinion. I have friends in the UK who are really into Radiohead. I never really was into them. Same goes for the Beatles (although they're my parents' favorite all-time), Led Zepplin, the Police, or Black Sabbath. I know who they are, just not my favorites...

I would probably have to say The Cure. Although, I must admit that the mp3 CD currently in my car contains songs from The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Cure among many other groups.

This is the one I don't understand...

How could you select David Coverdale OVER Led Zeppelin or Robert Plant?

That's like saying, "Nah, I don't want that Picasso, I'll just take this here photocopy."

No offense intended, that's just how I feel, man.

BTW, what do David Coverdale and blues have to do with each other? I've never heard of that connection.
