      Really, the two nations that stand out are UK and Sweden though proportionally Sweden is in its own class entirely to this day. About 50% of all modern day hits are produced or written by Swedes.
      If you consider how small our nation is, that's pretty impressive. Yet the UK will forever be the greatest because Motörhead... At least we got a Swedish letter and a Swedish drummer in there. :P

    The Beatles went from "I want to hold your hand" in 1963, to "Strawberry Fields Forever" in 1967.
    They progressed more musically in 4 years than most bands do in 20, and influenced the future of popular music for the next 40 years.

    Saying The Beatles are overrated is like saying oxygen is an overrated element. That may sound like hyperbole but every rock group since The Beatles has been influenced by them one way or another. Have better groups come after them? Possibly, but not without that influence, and certainly not on the same cultural level. It's oddly disheartening to hear someone dismiss the Beatles without actually properly listening to them. Then again, there are music acts I think are overrated - Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran, for example - and I've not heard their entire catalogue either. It is what it is, I suppose.

    The early Beatles were a revelation even though they look and sound a bit dated now, at the time they were revolutionary, and it was a privilege to be a young teenager when they burst on the scene and just blew our minds. It is said that there was 'music before the Beatles and real rock music after the Beatles'. They set the standard that everyone later had to follow. The Beatles and the Stones inspired a generation of young people to pick up a guitar or drums and make music, experimenting and developing new genres and styles in every city and small town in the country. That's why there are so many Great British acts.

    Truth is live music is a big thing in Britain - at all levels - I have know loads of people in bands and the grass roots level of pub gigs and open mic's and pub blues jam nights are all over the place. I'm lucky enough to have played with the same guys in my band for years. It's like an adrenaline sport, the buzz is addictive - the rougher the pub the more responsive the audience. It's a knife edge, do a bad gig and you know it... but to end the night with encores and an audience up and dancing is awesome.

    Please pass on my admiration to your Mum!! The first Reactions I started watching were musical ones. And I'd been gobsmacked to see how many of them (the reactors) had never even heard of, let alone heard at all, some of the most iconic tracks in musical history - including Queen! Many first-timers were brought to tears hearing some of them. And a large proportion of them have never heard of all the legends whose music was featured here. And all I could do was watch in stupefaction: were they brought up by wolves?😁
    In Oz, and in England, people grow up hearing their parents' music - down the pub - every time you enter a Charity Shop - definitely when working in the kitchen - when you get a sudden urge to shake your booty. I was brought up not only on my parent's music, but my grandmother & great grand mother's music as well. It made me infinitely sad that kids are left to 'fend for themselves' when it comes to music. All they hear is their own genre of music, so they go through their lives not ever understanding how varied and even sublime, music can be.
    Your mother gave you a great gift, didn't she?☺

    I saw Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest in concert the 1970s and loved Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow amongst other bands and genres, so I do have some heavy rock credentials. Stairway to Heaven and Layla absolute classics! Since 2005 one word Keane, takes voice of an angel to a whole new level in my opinion. Not for everyone, each to their own. Rock as defined by this list does seem to be a very broad generalisation.

    Some of Fleetwood Mac are American but I guess its roots are British.
    You might not know but The Beatles basically invented the music video. I don't think just one song does them justice, every song is like a piece of a jigsaw. Though 'A Day In The Life' is probably their magnum opus, shame it's not here, maybe not radio friendly enough. But it was voted the greatest british song of all time.
    I wouldn't get too put out by mean comments, they always happen. Some of those history videos you watch, people get very competitive.

    If you want to combine your love of history with British music you should listen to "Done with Bonaparte" and "Sailing to Philidelphia" by Mark Knopfler(the lead singer/guitarist and songwriter from Dire Straits).
