What about Flogging Haggi? And if they're not a rock band, we should definitely make them a rock band. They'd have crazy bagpipe solos with the jamming guitars and pirate music! Yaaaar!

No fair restricting it to only "F"'s.

Then you have to leave out Wolfstone, Off Kilter, and Ashley MacIsaac.

At least they're better than U2. And baisically 99% of the rock bands from the British Isles.

Seriously, the Brits haven't come up with good bands since the Beatles. Franz Ferdinand is the first good one since.

This is a good thing. I hate it when I'm chilling with some music playing, when suddenly I leap up, shout "I'm inspired!" and go off to do something while missing out on the end of the song. I prefer uninspiring music.

I hate to mention it to you, but Grammies are given away like toys in cereal boxes.

Celine Dion has at least a couple of Grammies. Is that the sort of company you would want to keep? I think not.

This has to be the winner. Never heard them, never even heard of them, but they win.

BTW, Celine Dion has been nominated for Grammys. She's even won them. Is she now good?

EDIT: Damn, beaten to the punchline.

Here are a few post Beatles British Bands that are much better than Franz Ferdinand:
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Def Lepperd

In my opinion Franz Ferdinand are annoying.

How about we pick the best Welsh rock band starting with an L.
