In no particular order:

Pink Floyd
The Moody Blues
The Clash
The Rolling Stones
Queen

Honorable mention...The Who---Great music, but I have issues with the band members.

Did not put up Led Zep..because I think they're plagiarists--not just the famous Stairway to Heaven affair...but they stole from damn near every black blues artist in America..without even a label credit.

I would have to say the five(6) best truly original and innovative British rock bands for me were (in no particular order):

1. Pink Floyd
2. David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust
3. Black Sabbath
4. The Moody Blues
5. Yes
6. Emerson, Lake & Palmer

With honorable mention going to King Crimson for their first album.

The Moody Blues are my favorite British band. "Nights in White Satin" is my favorite song from that group.
