Who are some bands and artists that are distinctly British sounding?

You mean to ask, bands that are quintessentially British?

>>72792546
Yes

what do you mean british sounding?

Like there are a bunch of british musicians that sound briitsh, thats it i guess

>>72792534
Blur

The most British genre was britpop, it was made as a reaction to depressing american grunge music. And actually it was kind of nationalistic, to the point britpop bands never crossed over into america except that one time damon made the woo hoo song, but funny story about the woo hoo song, damon made it as a parody of grunge and he was making fun of american music

>>72792534
The kinks sound the most British
Cant prove me wrong

>>72792534

This is not only the most British sounding album, but also basically the best British album ever created. It's a well-known phenomenon amongst the fortunate in-crowd that other music just sounds a bit shit after listening to Cardiacs.
