  • Of all the important rock bands to grace the stage, British bands are considered by many to be the most important and most influential. Though they weren't first, the best British rock bands planted their mark in the 1960s with catchy melodies, delicious hooks and music that influenced multiple generations of bands and music fans. Not to be outdone, every decade thereafter, famous English rock bands were mostly ahead of their contemporaries across the globe, bringing all variations of rock music to the masses. The most successful English bands remain staples on rock radio, and though some are old and over the hill, they manage to tour to arenas and stadiums all over the world.
    Though it's certainly a difficult question to ask, this list tries to decide who are the best British rock bands. There are plenty of amazing British bands to pick from, with names like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, Oasis, Blur, and Queen, just to name some of the most famous ones. The thing that the best British rock bands have in common is that they're known all over the world for widely influencing a musical genre, and in some cases, creating their own musical genre. However, it's up to you to determine which of these top British rock bands is that best.

    Def Leppard is surely worth more than 12 million. They sold millions of copies of Pyromania and Hysteria and always packed the arenas and stadiums. Plus they've toured with Kiss and Journey in recent years. It just seems like a small amount with their success of album and concert sales.

    From my understanding the ones like Robert Plant, Annie Lennox, Sting, Paul McCartney, Ringo, George Harrison, John Lennon, Pete Townsend and many others (in case I missed any) are all worth a shit load by themselves alone and then they're worth what their band is worth too. These guys are ultimately rich as fuck. Amazing!!!

    Rory Gallagher British? He was from Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. The funny bit is that you correctly put the Irish flag next to him, and rightfully didn’t include bands made up of Irish and British members like Thin Lizzy or U2. Since you also included solo acts like Rod, Ozzie, Bowie,Annie Lennox or every single Beatle, I’m surprised Van Morrison is not in the list. The guy’s clearly loaded.

The only serious source is the Forbes' ranking which gives the personal wealth of artists, among others, no matter if they were part of a band. (For instance, as composer and singer for both Beatles and Wings, Paul McCartney earned certainly more money than the only Beatles). For bands, the incomes are generally calculated on the records'sales and the concerts. The royalties are certainly the most difficult part to evaluate.
