        Definitley have to add the Police
        although not really a "British" band

        Yes they were conceived in England-
        But Stewart Copeland isn't a Brit per se

        They really hit it BIG when the States embraced them back in 78-79

        I LOVE THE POLICE

        One of my biggest influences in rock-
        "Message In A Bottle"
        Is my favorite song of all time
        and one I riff on my guitar al the time
        :-))


        what about the Spice Girls?

            Damn right they are and I was wondering that too..they are a band and are the most sucessful duo of all time and great song writers but they don't seem to fit the tone of that list. Plus I still say Fleetwood Mac are just as British as American and therefore shouldn't be on an American band list.

              Well by that logic we can take GnR off that list because Slash was born and currently lives in England. Yes, that right - Slash is British...Stoke On Trent to be exact.

                What a shame - they were so hot back in 77-78 when I was a kid, I used to drool over them.

                Some of us still find her hot ;)

                  2).RollingStones

                  anyone care to add the other 20?

                  This is just off the top of my head and I know the music biz fairly well-


                  Curious to see who else I haven't thought of yet-

                  Put The Cure on the list please.

                    I always like the Stone Temple Pilots, they're American aren't they? I'm pretty sure they are.

                    Lynrd Skynyrd
                    Bob Seger
                    Styx

                    I like that Journey was listed so high.
                    STP is from San Diego.

                          Wow, that's almost exactly what I was going to say.

                          Some good choices, some bad choices.. Ah well.
                          All the best to you

                              OK, I'll throw The Sex Pistols in for a UK list.
                              For all intents and purposes the Beatles should be on the US list. The members may have been from the UK but their success was as a US act

                                      How can they not have Elvis on there?

                                      They also left off the Smashing Pumpkins.

                                          and I will add The Clash and The Buzzcocks.

                                            They left out some good bands...

                                            What about:
                                            Alice In Chains
                                            Tool
                                            Hendrix
                                            Elvis
                                            Credence Clearwater Revival
                                            Smashing Pumpkins

                                            I understanding with the reasoning for Pearl Jam at #1. Timeless, original, soulful, influential classics album after album.

                                            Their records sell ... "... because they're good, not because they've been hyped to death by the media," McNabb added.
                                            To put it in perspective, Pearl Jam's debut album Ten sold 10 million albums, more than 3 times what Nirvana's Nevermind did. About half the songs on the album are standards today.

                                            There have been scores of imitators. "How many Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder knockoffs have invaded rock radio since Ten?" asked Scott Jordan, another Atlanta fan.
                                            No band sounded like Pearl Jam before Pearl Jam. So many did after them. Their influence is crystal clear.

                                              Other great AMERICAN R&R bands not on the list.

                                              Not saying that they are all top 20, but a few would be on my list.

                                              1. Talking Heads
                                              2. Phish
                                              3. Red Hot Chili Peppers

                                                  Slash lives in Los Angeles. His father lives in England.
