As an American, I must admit, the Brits win hands-down in regards to their contributions to music.
Too bad they lost the big one when it counted. |
Music no. Rock-N-Roll yes. BUT, we invented it, so we get partial credit for all their rock artists. Like when House saves the doctor's life who is fighting TB in Africa. |

I'll agree with Fishhead soup's list and add:
Wire - Pink Flag
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
The Slits - Cut
Angelic Upstarts - 2,000,000 voices
The Redskins - Neither Washington nor Moscow - skinhead northern soul
Carcass - Swansong: I was big on metal as a youngster, not so much anymore, but they were the best
The Selecter - I just had their best of
Steel Pulse, especially the first half of their discography (amazing that one of the best reggae groups ever could be from England)
and probably much more that I listen to without even realizing or caring that it's British. |

There was music in Britain, long before Chuck Berry & Elvis. Travelling minstrels & old English folk tunes & nursery rhymes eg. Just one example that comes to mind is 'Auld Lang Syne', written by Robert Burns in 1788, & set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). I'm not British, btw.
I'm sure that the Brits could run circles around both 'AmericanExile' & I, when it comes to naming influential British music that predates Rock 'n Roll. I wouldn't be at all surprised if 'Stairway to Heaven' (which hardly has a driving rock & roll beat, for most of its length, btw), is inspired by much older folk tunes. Could be worth a whole new thread?

House is English, so in fact we get the credit for saving Africa.
I thought this song was fitting, not their best but Idlewild are awesome. American English. |

I have no problem giving the British credit for their part in musical innovation that lead to Rock. So they get partial credit of our partial credit of their artists.
ekul, Hugh Laurie is English. House is American. Keep your grubby hands off our fictional credit. |

The creator is Canadian so they get the fictional credit I'm afraid! |
