Since the Beatles came around, there have been British hits in America. Lately, it seems more and more British singers and bands are coming to America and being very successful. Take the somewhat controversial singer Lily Allen or the equally intriguing Amy Winehouse. So tell me, who are your favorite British singer(s) that have invaded the radio waves and music stores where you are?

I'm still catching up on the first British invasion in the 60's, and I've been collecting Small Faces, Beatles, Stones, and Wishbone Ash for years. I was not aware of the current invasion, but I will definitely check it out. I'm glad you posted this!

The best thing about the new influx of British musical talent, is that it isn't just singers who have the musical tastes of the two I mentioned (I would blush if I listened to all of their songs). They are all over the genres of music. And most of them are of great musical substance too. : ) I haven't heard of Small Faces, so now I'm off to Google them. Thanks for the tip!

Well I admit to being behind the times. The last British group I listened to was the "Irish Rovers" although they dropped the Irish part and tried going by just "The Rovers" for a while in the 80's. I know I'm woefully behind in the music area. I admit it. Sorry to say even the two you mentioned I have not heard of.

It's rare that anybody doesn't like the Rolling Stones, isn't it? : )

There are so many British singers or bands that have invaded the music stores here equally as the Americans. In Singapore, I guess most of the sellouts are from these two regions. But for British, current ones of course, Lily Allen, Mika, Take That(their comeback album) and etc. For the Americans, we have Justin Timberlake, PCD, Critina Aguillera, and etc... So it's not really a British take over here... It's rather saturated.... But my current favorite British group is Mika... Like it, its fun to listen!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20757)   ranked 110 out of 8,288 in listening to music  5 years ago

Mika's song, 'Grace Kelley' is really catchy. He sure has a lot of energy, doesn't he? LOL I figured that American musicians were really pushed hard in other countries, not just in here in America. Last year it seemed we had an influx of Candian singers, but this year it seems to be the British. I welcome them all! : )

Hello AmbiePam! Thank you for choosing my response as best response... Frankly, I am now enjoying Amy Winehouse, Rehab, while typing this out....It's catchy and like the tune too.. I guess it's the Brits attack again just like the '80s and the '60s.... :>

It must be our funny accents LOL
I don't really have a favourite british band any more but I used to like Morrissey.
Have you noticed how some british singers sing with american accents?
We even have a busker in town sometimes who sings sinatra songs in a very American accent.


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20757)   ranked 110 out of 8,288 in listening to music  5 years ago

That's so true! Because when you hear them actually speak, you're amazed at the difference. I can't remember who said it, but I agree that if you have a British accent, you can make anything sound good.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mihimolly (4889)  5 years ago

LOL
Hang on I'll say vegemite,asparagus,vinegar!................
Nope they still sound awful :)
I think the Welsh have lovely accents and they nearly all sing beautifully.

I don't live in the past I just like the music from the past! I still like the Beatles. I do not know any of the newer British music groups.
