Biography from VH1.com Brit-pop got a new face in the new millennium thanks to the popularity of Coldplay, The Vines, and Doves.

The Music was a part of that fresh faced crowd and took the U.K. indie charts by storm in summer 2002. Comprised of schoolhood chums Stuart Coleman, Adam Nutter, Robert Harvey, and Phil Jordan, The Music emerged from the suburbs of Leeds in 1999.

Aaaah The Smiths. An English group from 82-87 forming of Andy Rourke, Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Mike Joyce. And in my opinion, the greatest band EVER! Every song is a blend of lyric-poetry, the instrumentals are genius, matching the words perfectly at times, and forming a perfect contrast at others. The song "Heaven knows i'm miserable now" is my favourite song of all time. What does everybody else think of the band, the songs, the people, the legacy?

I know we have a thread on Fab, but I can't believe we wouldn't include the rest of the band! Members: Julian Casablancas Nick Valensi Fabrizio Moretti Albert Hammond Jr. Nikolai Fraiture source|celebcity

All four members had wildly different personalities, as their notoriously intense live performances demonstrated. The group was a whirlwind of activity, as the wild Keith Moon fell over his drum kit and Pete Townshend leaped into the air with his guitar, spinning his right hand in exaggerated windmills. Vocalist Roger Daltrey strutted across the stage with a thuggish menace, as bassist John Entwistle stood silent, functioning as the eye of the hurricane. These divergent personalities frequently clashed, but these frictions also resulted in a decade's worth of remark…
