Englands best export: Singers

[FrostyBoy]

I am finding a common trend with singers that I really enjoy listening to, and that is they mostly come from England; what is the reason?

Movies from America, Music from England; is that how it goes?

Not a lot of good ones were created post y 2000... my impression is a lot less than before, currently there is a lot of good music coming from older bands/artists

the three I can think of straight
Artic Monkeys
Amy Winehouse
Coldplay
OK & Franz Ferdinand all post y 2000...

who else?

[FrostyBoy]

post 2000 is a bit too optimisitic

more like post 1992.

Moby
Mika
Queen

OK that I can't really disagree with...

[Q Classic]

Isn't that whiny Blunt fellow British too?

I can't think of any English singers right now. They tend to have whiney style of singing I really disagree with. This was especially bad in the "alternative" era of the 90's. I liked bands such as Bush, but the singer wasn't that great. Radiohead has a couple songs I like, but the whiney style singing gets old fast.

I can't think of any modern English singers, but that's probably because I don't pay attention to commercial radio anymore.
