Maybe that's true in Rock and Roll circles, but in Pop circles The Beatles, Jacko, Madge and ABBA are probably the most written about and talked about Pop artists. And what does the UK have to offer before & after The Beatles... Cliff Richard, and Westlife? They might be an endearing phenomenon to the British peoples but honestly who has heard of them outside England? But see that what makes The Beatles so special is that have been heard outside of England. and they're not just a Pop band but a band that have both feet in the Pop and Rock world and they are heard outside their country of origin and are talked about 50 years after the fact. That is an amazing feet for a band to do.
