Picking up a month later, the correct answer is:

1. The Beatles
2. The Rolling Stones
3. David Bowie
4. Queen
5. Iron Maiden
6. Led Zeppelin
7. The Clash
8. Eric Clapton
9. The Pogues (no, don't claim they are Irish)
10. Deep Purple

Tried to fit Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Elton John, and Dire Straits on that top ten, but they would all have to come further down the list.

I think that it doesn't really matter where they are living but where the majority of the members of the group were born.

Kevin was born in NY, Bilinda in London, Debbie in England. You can see how that being the determinant is problematic. They were always a London-based band. They have always been apart of and major players in the UK scene. They even appeared on the Brit Box compilation.
