So many were influenced by blues. The Stones, Led Zeppelin, Savoy Brown, early Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Ten Years After, Pink Floyd. John Mayall and the Blues Breakers,Foghat,The Yard birds,Black Sabbath,Traffic added some jazz and space to the basic blues for a really unique sound,Clapton's first vocal track and some of his best blues was on John Mayall, Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell in The Jimi Hendrix Experience were British.

Answer 5

There are correct answers in some of the responses, but in my opinion, I do not consider them all 'blues' bands.

There is no question in my mind that Alexis Korner's bands, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Savoy Brown and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac are the true blues bands.

By the way, Hot Tuna, mentioned in one answer was neither a blues band or British. They were an offshoot of Jefferson Airplane (from San Francisco) that happened to use Papa John Creach, a great blues violinist. That does not make them a blues band.

Also, I do not agree that the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Yardbirds, Clapton, Cream or the plethora of British 'Blues Beat' bands were anything but cheap imitators of the great American blues masters. I do not diminish their contributions to rock music - that is not debatable; but I do not consider them 'blues' bands.

Answer 6

Give Brian B the 10 points for best answer.. I agree.. Fleetwood M.. Peter Green. I think Peter became religious and gave up the blues.. I thought the Yardbirds might fall under the same genre. Clapton is still probably one of the best blues players to come from over the pond.. Beck is more of a fusion type player.

Answer 7

There are quite a few British blues acts. A select few would be the original Fleetwood Mac (sometimes referred to as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac), John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Eric Clapton, Hot Tuna and some might even say early Led Zeppelin. I hope this helps. Happy Listening!!

Answer 8

Early stuff: John Mayall, blues band, Cream, both with Clapton at age 17, 18,19. Most of the early (60's) British groups were influenced by early black American acoustic blues players. Early Mississippi delta blues had a great influence on them. Clapton-Crossroads. The BEST magazine about American blues is LIVING BLUES mag. Published in Oxford, Ms.
