British Invasion gets credited to the 60s but it never really stopped invading. For some reason, most of our US contributions to the music scene turned out very disposable.

There are many British acts I like a lot but find most British Rock to be camp version of American Rock.

reply

I like the camp in British rock.

reply

I do to. It's just not as authentic overall to me. British act I like are numerous.
The obvious one like The Beatles, Stones, Who and the Kinks (I also like the Dave Clark 5). Bowie, T Rex, and Roxy Music. Punk like the Pistols, Clash, Damned, Buzzcocks. Post punk like Joy Division/New Order, The Fall, The Smiths. There are probably more If I thought about more.

Not a great deal of staying power there except for The Eurythmics.
