hmmmm...I loved Blur back in the 90's.  Damon's Albarn work with Gorillaz right now is pretty cool....I loved Pulp too.

You are slightly miss guided.  Americans love the Brits.  We love Monty Python, the Beatles, the Young Ones, John Cleese, Fish & Chips, mmmm Bass Ale and many other things native to England.  We share the same enthusaism to get drunk before major "football" & "futbol" games.  We are die hard fanatics about supporting our football teams.  We have even started to become better at futbol by having english preimere players plyaing for the major league soccer teams.  American women are still intrigued by the Royal Family.  We love that Dianna became Princess Di.  We love to hear your accent and as a previous answer stated - the accent does make you more attractive and intelligent.  We love how an ice cream truck is called Mr. Whippy, an elevator called a lift, things like that.  We love that we think the same way and are not afraid to stand up to dictators, tyrants, murders, and morally do the right thing.  We share the same contept for the lame French.  We love Darts.  I could go on but you get the point.\n\nAs far as bad teeth and not washing - that is definatley more directed at the French rather than Brits, in my humble opinion.\n\nHave a great day!!

I'm sure the obvious answer is The Beatles. I mean, if you look at the sales, the impact as well as the frequency of them appearing in all those various Top Artists Ever lists (most often as number one), then it should be clear.

Many early British rock stars were influenced by American Singers, so they imitated the singing and musical styles of the Americans.

www.ascap.com has a service they call 'ACE' - it doesn't have everything on it (of course) but (especially if the song is American) there's about a 75% chance you'll find the song, performers, composers, publisher and address and contact information of whatever song you happen to be looking for (plus another twenty titles with the same name!)

Try http://www.whowhere.com if your friend is from USA.\nOr try http://www.who-remembers-me.com if your friend is from UK. I'm not sure if there are databases for countries other than USA and UK that is as vast as the websites I've just given you.\n\nGood luck!

Oh thats really strange. In the 60s the group Manfred Mann were popular and they came from the Gosport/Portsmouth area in Hampshire, U.K. Privett Road and Clayhall are very well known roads there. I come from that area too so perhaps that could be a link. Update when you get more answers.

In my book YES! \n\nI can go on and on listing all the Number Ones, songs, albums, history, influences, contributions, so forth.\n\nThe only band whose members I actually found interesting: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, & Ringo. \nThe only band I collect memorabilia. \n\nThe Beatles are and will be the best.  \n\nAnd I listened to many and many other Rock groups.

Definitely the Beatles. When they first came from England, they were nothing more than a boy band of their time. No difference between them and the Backstreet Boys. The Beatles get credit for helping build rock music in the US, when they really founded pop music.

CHILL DUDE.\ni'm from UK and i personally think the Americans are great i've met quite a few and found them all to be polite and friendly and very warm people.\nWhat you say we think about you may apply to some but then again there is no shortage of that kind of people in the UK too,and probably any country you can think of.
