Hmmmmm, I dinnar like.

Queen were, and really still are, pretty huge. The Cure still do big tours. And Fleetwood Mac were outselling The Beatles before even Christine Perfect rocked up. I do accept it's a tad contentious classing them as British these days, but they're by far and away the biggest band from that lot you mention. They've even outsold The Who.

Pink Floyd
Queen

Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green were dull but with Green "Oh Well" and "The Green Manalishi" are superb rock tracks.

I agree on Springsteen.
