Paste's The 50 Best British Artists of All Time

Friday, while all the world (yes, you too) was looking, thinking or facebooking about the fairytale wedding of two young, rich and famous twentysomethings, Paste Magazine wrote: "The world’s got Britannia on the brain. (...) While all eyes are on the throne, we pay tribute to our 50 favorite British artists—a rock ‘n roll royal family of sorts. Some are relatively new, some are old, and they come from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. But they’ve all managed to leave their mark on both sides of the pond."

50 artists and 50 essential tracks.

This is the Spotify version.

Missing the usual Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and - how they dared! - MBEs Beatles.

Enjoy!
