A fellow member suggested I open a poll to find of who, in your humble opinion, is the best British band. However, after consideration, and taking into account the vast amount of British bands, I thought it would be wiser to split the poll into two different ones, one dedicated to old school metal and one to the more modern inspired bands.

For this poll, I chose Cradle of Filth. No matter what anyone says, I've yet to hear a band that actually sounds just like them. They cause contreversy amongst metal fans which is always the sign of a great band, spliting the field is something unique to big names. I've been listening to them for years and are without a doubt one of the most listened to bands from my collection.
