The record went No. 1 in the U.K. charts and won Best Alternative Music Album at the 2002 Grammys. Marked by Martin's falsetto-happy vocals, songs like "Yellow" and "Shiver" employ stop/start dynamics that allow serene verses to build to a crescendo, centering on the well-trodden theme of love. Sophomore effort A Rush of Blood to the Head took home two Grammys and earned a spot on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. Hits "Clocks" and "In My Place" were wistful and romantic, labeled by some as radio-friendly Radiohead. The group's third album, XandY, became the best-selling album of 2005, and "Speed of Sound" topped the year's charts worldwide. After conquering the charts and the Grammys, Coldplay shifted their focus from chart-topping anthems to a more experimental approach for their fourth album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (which nevertheless topped charts upon its release). With ambient maestro Brian Eno co-producing, the 2008 album was an intriguing progression for the band, featuring a mix of global influences, classical strings, heavy piano and glistening bits of dreamy electronics. - Dan Shumate]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7035&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Brit Rock Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:42 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7035 art.7035 Muse art.7035 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7035&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7035&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Muscle Museum EP a year later. "Muscle Museum" was highly touted in the British press and the buzz over Muse was officially on. The trio signed to Madonna's Maverick Records after playing a music industry show and released Showbiz in 1999. Origin of Symmetry followed in 2001 and the band enjoyed some radio success. But they weren't able to break through in the U.S. until the release of 2003's Absolution, which made its way to the top of the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. Their success continued to grow with the release of 2006's bombastic Black Holes and Revelations and the even more bombastic 2009's The Resistance, which captures Muse at their weirdest, grandest and most ambitious. - Linda Ryan]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4817&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Brit Rock Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:55:01 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4817 art.4817 Radiohead art.4817 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4817&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4817&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss The Bends (1995) that Radiohead transcended the formula, crafting the patient, heart-wrenching "Fake Plastic Trees" and the magnetic, sunshine-driven "Black Star." Thom Yorke's signature falsetto began to operate in a more deeply emotional capacity at this point. Finally producing to the caliber of their songwriting, Radiohead's OK Computer demonstrated a staggering attention to detail, probably ranking as one of the greatest commercial artistic successes of the '90s. Rarely does a record offer masterpieces in varying moods. From the thunderously suspenseful "Airbag" to the moody chime of the blustery "Let Down," Radiohead emerged victorious. The alt-rock superstardom and critical gushing that followed pushed them into their darkest and most creative space yet, and they delivered the electronic-tinged Kid A in 2000 and Amnesiac in 2001. Many critics and fans claimed to not "get" the group's twisted, skittering melodies and complicated, chorus-free rock songs but to the devout the band's cerebral art rock was like manna from the heavens. 2003's Hail to the Thief offered up a mixture of guitar-driven tracks amid a more restless desire to experiment. In 2007, Radiohead shook up the music industry with In Rainbows, an album released via their website in which fans could name their own price. - Kelly Bauman]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14481&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Brit Rock Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:53:06 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.14481 art.14481 Snow Patrol art.14481 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14481&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.14481&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38145&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Brit Rock Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:53:15 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.38145 art.38145 Oasis art.38145 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38145&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38145&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5184298&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Brit Pop/Brit Rock Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:57 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5184298 art.5184298 Keane art.5184298 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5184298&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5184298&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Hopes and Fears, is particularly impressive. - Linda Ryan]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5237151&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Punk Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:53:21 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5237151 art.5237151 Franz Ferdinand art.5237151 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5237151&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5237151&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Darts Of Pleasure came out, it was as though their lean, romantic, and often danceable form of post-punk fell right from the pages of a Smash Hits from twenty years prior. In their formative years, most of the band were students at the Glasgow School of Art and spent their time practicing music at a spot called the Chateau, a music/art space along the lines of Andy Warhol's Factory. The group's smart and slightly oily brand of angular pop was soon embraced by press and fans, whose appetites for a post-punk revival were whetted by the success of bands like Interpol and Hot Hot Heat. They finally released their first full-length in 2004. The LP's unorthodox but unstoppable single "Take Me Out" quickly took off all over the world. In the summer of 2005, Franz Ferdinand built on that success with It Could Be So Much Better, which actually lived up to its title by bettering their winning debut. The Scots then released their third album in early 2009. Stripping away some of their post-punk roots, the band opted to load Tonight with disco-punk beats and spacey synths, making it some of their most experimental and upbeat material to date. - Jon Pruett]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4462&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Brit Rock Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:00:40 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4462 art.4462 Gomez art.4462 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4462&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4462&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Bring it On, beat out the Verve's Urban Hymns and Massive Attack's Mezzanine (both fine albums in their own right) for the U.K.'s prestigious Mercury Music Prize Album Of The Year. Their music braids vines of organic roots music with strands of bubbly dance production, but their songs tend to stick closer to the soil than the dancefloor. Three singers and two drummers mean a lot of ground can be explored, and Gomez are always willing to go where no Brit has gone before. They've garnered many comparisons to the Band thanks to their innovative take on Americana (MOJO magazine even put them on a cover aping the cover art of The Basement Tapes). One singer barks out lyrics with a warm Eddie Vedderesque rasp, while a second adds your standard, shy-voiced English indie kid, and a third inflects like a very young Tom Waits. Since each one is also a songwriter, the band's best moments feature three different personalities coming together on one soaring vision. And that, good people, is what you call musical chemistry (in it's most pure and dynamic form). With the energy, enthusiasm and passion of young people seeing the world for the first time, they weave in and out of Beatle-inspired power pop, bluesy laments, triumphant rockers or extended cosmic jams -- all the while retaining the kinetic Gomez sound. - Eric Shea]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9203143&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Indie/Alternative Thu, 5 Nov 2009 16:49:23 -0800 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.9203143 art.9203143 Arctic Monkeys art.9203143 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9203143&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9203143&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Five Minutes With the Arctic Monkeys, limiting the release to only 1,000 CDs and 500 7-inch records, but allowed their songs to be downloaded, showing their devotion to digital music culture.

Oversized quotes about Travis being the best band in the world read like pop culture deja vu in the British weeklies, but after Travis' 15 minutes were up, the band refused to go away. They strayed away from the Oasis/Slade sound and spent a while approximating Thom Yorke's crew before birthing their own infectious (and less heady) brand of guitar pop.

Combining the speedy power pop of the Strokes with a world weariness reminiscent of the Kinks' Ray Davies, Razorlight's debut album, Up All Night, also boasted a hardwired tunefulness which saw it enter the charts at No. 3 in summer 2004, swiftly followed by radio-friendly Top 10 ballad "Golden Touch." Following "musical differences," drummer Smith-Pancorvo duly left the band to be replaced by Winchester-born Andy Burrows, who debuted at a secret gig at the Kentish Town Bull & Gate in May 2004.

Not that this seems to have fazed Editors, who have no qualms about discussing their formation at Staffordshire University, a distinctly unfashionable seat of higher education. They also remain undaunted that they're firmly domiciled in Birmingham, England's out-of-favor second city. Indeed, these resolutely anti-hipster, anti rock 'n' roll stances have possibly fired alienated hearts with enthusiasm for their bleak, driving and remorselessly serious take on jerky, Joy Division-inspired post-punk. Signing to Newcastle label Kitchenware in late 2004, Editors scored a neat PR coup by selling out their first single, "Bullets," in only 24 hours -- a remarkable feat, until you learn that just 500 singles were pressed up. However, the band's rise was firmly fixed when "Munich," their second single, catapulted them into the UK Top 30. That set the scene for "Blood," their propulsive follow-up single, (which went Top-20) and their debut album, The Back Room. Finally unleashed on the US in March 2006, Editors now look poised to inject a strong dose of old country goth into the sunny States: What price on them becoming the new Cure? - Jamie Dolling]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59014&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Post-Punk Fri, 29 May 2009 09:35:43 -0700 Top Brit Rock Artists on Rhapsody Online art.59014 art.59014 Clinic art.59014 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59014&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59014&variant=data&rws=%2Falt-punk%2Fbrit-pop-brit-rock%2Fbrit-rock%2Fartist-chart.rss Internal Wrangler, helped remove any doubts about the band's unique vision, which infused subterranean, discordant punk with melodica solos and blasts of guitar.

Impressively, singer Joel Pott was even able to chronicle life in a band ("El Salvador") with good humor and not a hint of self-pity. Tourist, their 2005 release, showcased the group's growing confidence with a stripped-down sound relying heavily on Pott's breathy delivery and some epic ballads.

Marked by simple lyrics and lines such as "Saw you there with long, blonde hair / Eyes of blue / Oh baby, I love you," it brought the band major attention and was a far cry from the J Mascis-inspired sludge of their debut. After losing drummer Brendan O' Hare to his own Telstar Ponies, the band recruited Paul Quinn for Grand Prix (1995), a record which found them abandoning distortion for clear, twin lead guitars and an emphasis on Country Rock (a direction they perfected on Songs from Northern Britain in 1997).

With sweeping, swirling love songs such as "You On My Mind In My Sleep," Ashcroft forgoes the ego and exposes his heart in the company of otherworldly guitar drones, string accompaniment and weeping pedal steel notes. It is here the listener realizes that this man's forte is the love song. Even on the more up-tempo (and Pro Tools-laden) hits such as "Come On People (We're Making It Now)" and "I Get My Beat," we find Ashcroft confident and triumphant in his amorous temper.

As the '90s blossomed, the group dug into the more baroque, luscious pop sounds of the '60s and their music reflected this. Buoyed by some heavy praise from Noel Gallagher, TSOOL found themselves receiving all sorts of glowing accounts in the British press in the late '90s. This began to reach into further sections of the globe when their album, Behind The Music was released. The group excels at creating heavy, tuneful, psych-tinged rock epics but nothing ever reeks of a rehash. It's a little bit freedom rock, a little bit of doe-eyed mysticism; but mainly it's just rock n' roll. - Jon Pruett]]>
