[yardbird]

Tin Machine

 

[tangerinedream]

Done Lying down.

Jack Plug (as he was known) is a yank, the rest are british.

I claim the £5 for reading the OP and would spend it on some glue to re-stick the semi chewed bus tickets back to the ceiling of my mildewed box room where I have attempted to created a scale papier mache model of Mount Vesuvius but upside down using only discarded items bearing the blackpool transport emblem, but, in a cunning twist, using no tap or rain water to help me.

 

[clandestino]

Laurel & Hardy. Not strictly a band, but they had plenty of fine songs. A classic pop duo.

 

[clandestino]

Also:

The God Machine - Robin Proper-Sheppard is American
Stereolab - Leticia Sadier is French, Mary Hanson was Australian
Nirvana - Big John Duncan of the Expoited is Scottish (he played one show as their guitarist, but even so)
Thin Lizzy - Scott Gorham is American

eta: Although the rest of Thin Lizzy were Irish, so that doesn't count.

 

[clandestino]

And:

Gorrilaz - Danger Mouse is American
Razorlight - Bjorn Agren is Swedish

 

[Dubversion]

Done Lying down.

Jack Plug (as he was known) is a yank, the rest are british.

[Major Tom]

Tin Machine

<still in denial>

 

[Major Tom]

Drugstore - bit american, bit english

[clandestino]

Good call but wasn't Isobel from Brazil?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

i.e. bands in which some, but not all, the members were British.

Mine:-

Jimi Hendrix Experience

Velvet Underground

Monkees

You can't claim the Jimi Hendrix experience. For that matter, you can't claim The VU or the Monkees.

Hey hey I'm a monkee.

[Where did he get my beads from?]

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Alright: Cream.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Fleetwood Mac

 

[editor]

eta: Although the rest of Thin Lizzy were Irish, so that doesn't count.

Au contraire, guitarist Brian Robertson - who was in the classic kickin' 1974-78 line up - was a Scot

 

[isvicthere?]

Deleted coz Ed got to Brian Robertson before me.

 

[isvicthere?]

You can't claim the Jimi Hendrix experience. For that matter, you can't claim The VU or the Monkees.

QUOTE]

Two of the three JHExperience were British: Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding. (You must be thinking of the later Band of Gipsies).

One of the VU - John Cale - was Welsh.

Davy Jones - whom you even depict - was from Manchester.

 

[twistedAM]

And:

Gorrilaz - Danger Mouse is American
Razorlight - Bjorn Agren is Swedish

Well if Razorlight get a mention then we most certainly have to have The Rakes (drummer Lasse is Finnish)

 

[twistedAM]

Good call but wasn't Isobel from Brazil?

yep


oh a painful thought just came into my head..wasn't Cliff Richard born in India?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I'm pretty sure the God Machine were all from San Diego, but were just based in London.

No mention of Therapy (if NI does count), My Bloody Valentine, Curve?

 

[isvicthere?]

The Faces (Tetsu was Japanese).

 

[Iam]

Gorrilaz - Danger Mouse is American

I didn't actually know DM was in Gorillaz (I'm not saying he's not, btw), but even so, Del (Russel, I think?) is American, too.

 

[Rich]

5 Star - untouchable surely

 

[brahaminda]

Tin Machine

Qualify under the nationality...

But "Best?"

 

[stavros]

Danger Mouse also did "The Grey Album" of course, a mix of the Beatles and Jay-Z.

 

[twistedAM]

as an aside to this british thing, i was once working in denmark for a bit and was in the pub with my co-worker and we were talking about music

i was taking the piss out of danish music saying the biggest band (this was pre-Aqua of course) was D.A.D. to which he threw a schnapps glass on the floor and shouted

DON'T FORGET METALLICA YOU FUCKER!
