The Smiths

rateyourmusic.com
The Libertines
XTC
blur or the jam
Ian Dury
probably this tee bee aitch
Blur. Because no one in the US knows who the fuck I am talking about when I say Blur. I have to say "They do that WOOHOO song".
Chas & Dave
>CND? CND?
>WE'RE NOT GOING ON AFTER CHAS & DAVE
Sleaford Mods
The Kinks
As an East Midlander, I can confirm that these guys sum up the East Midlands better than anyone else
being from the east midlands as well i should probably get around to listening to them at some point
>Half Man Half Biscuit
You should, they're really good
>Weird, innit
any Canterbury scene band. My vote is for Hatfield and the North
The Fall
also, this
It'd be interesting to know where everyone posting these answers are from. There sure is a range of opinions here on what quintessential Englishness is
The Kinks
Soft Machine
Funny innit. They play that song at just about every sports event but not one American can tell you who it's by.
early Arctic Monkeys
Posted these. Lived in the UK til' I was 13. Live in the states now.

COW SON
I love that song desu
Modest Mouse
Like, just the way the lead singer talks and shit.
the fall, in an alternate history where manchester is the political and economic center of the UK
Gang of Four obviously
Genesis
Sgt. Peppers
Undoubtedly The Fall
SEE YA MATE
YEAH, SEE YA MATE
My immediate thoughts as well.
Half Man Half Biscuit are kind of like The Fall but with an obsession with 80s kids shows, obscure sportsmen and nursery rhymes
