	British Rock and Roll - - Music Seek
		In Britain skiffle groups, record collecting and trend-watching were in full bloom among the youth culture prior to the rock era, and color barriers were less of an issue with the idea of separate "race records" seeming almost unimaginable.
		Countless British youths listened to R&B and rock pioneers and began forming their own bands.
		In 1958 three British teenagers formed a rock and roll group, Cliff Richard and the Drifters (later renamed Cliff Richard and the Shadows).

	Popular Culture: from Baseball to Rock and Roll (John Bull and Uncle Sam)
		Although the dominance of American rock and roll music was the most conspicuous feature of the British pop culture scene in the years after World War II, the long tradition of British performers thriving in the United States continued both before and after war as did the favorable reception of their American counterparts in Britain.
		British performers continued to be popular in American beyond the 1960s.
		In the 1950s British rock groups tended to imitate American groups and re-record their most popular songs, a trend that was in some instances reversed in the 1960s, when American groups copied British songs, especially those by the Beatles.

	CD Baby: BRITISH INVASION ALL-STARS: British Invasion All-Stars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In rock circles, the term British Invasion is used to describe the wave of British rock bands that made its presence felt in the '60s.
		Rock was born in the United States, but when the Beatles and many other British acts hit big in the '60s, it was clear that England had become a major player in the rock & roll field.
		The British Invasion All-Stars' self-titled debut album, which was released on the independent Mooreland Street label in 2002, shows no awareness of the alternative rock sounds of the early 2000s; the band is totally unaffected by any of the punk, new wave, post-punk, pop-metal, or alternative rock that came after the '60s.

		Interfax reported that the FSB had found the "spy gadget" installed inside the fake rock and that the British agents used it to reach their Russian contacts.
		Officials at the British Foreign Office in London said earlier that they were "concerned and surprised" at the allegations in the TV program -- which also alleged that a British official authorized regular payments to Russian NGOs.

		While Oasis deviated from the trad rock formula, there were legions of bands that used their devotion to classic rock as reason to shamelessly replicate '60s rock.
		Just as importantly, many observers, while occasionally criticizing the trad rock nature of his music, acknowledged that Weller was one of the few rock veterans who had managed to stay vital within the second decade of his career.
		Their self-released debut EP, All I Wanna Do Is Rock, came out in the fall of that year; with its earnest vocals and soaring guitars, it captured the spirit of British rock at the time, which was retreating from some of Brit-pop's artiness to a back-to-basics sound.

	'GREATEST HITS' HELP TO CLARIFY BRITISH ROCK - New York Times
		In fact, the similarities between the old and the new British rock run deeper than a simple abandonment of recent punk rigor.
		For instance, the battle between rock and disco of the past few years seems pretty scholastic to someone who hears in both a similar, fl-inspired, bass heavy, common-time dance beat.
		In any case, four turn-of-the-year 'greatest hits' albums by four leading British pre-punk rock artists have come along to clarify our notions of just what older British rock is about, and what it shares and does not share with the country's rock music of the past five years.

		As a veteran of two rock operas, Daltrey was an obvious choice as the main man for the three-hour show which now tours some of the stately homes of England.
		But if you want an evening of unabashed rock nostalgia, you might be better advised to make a donation to the cause and spend the night at home with a bottle of wine and the original albums.

	Early British Pop/Rock Downloads - Download Early British Pop/Rock Music - Download Early British Pop/Rock MP3s
		Most early British rock was far more mannered than its inspirations, and its best performers not quite up to the level of American rockers -- simply because rock & roll was full of indigenous American musical ingredients that British performers weren't familiar with.
		Originally Cliff Richard's backing band, the British quartet the Shadows began recording on their own in 1960 and had a major hit with the instrumental "Apache." They were built around guitarists Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch, with an ever-changing rhythm section (Terry "Jet" Harris and Tony Meehan, the original bassist and drummer, were the most...
		So far as the British entertainment industry was concerned, America had already had its rock & rolling day; now it was their turn, and Cliff Richard was still coming down from his first hit single, the magnificent moodiness of "Move It," when he was co-opted for his first film, Serious Charge.

		Included in Boomerang's tight sound are elements of '80s hard rock (searing lead guitar, hairy chested vocals), '60s surf rock (walking bass lines, unison handclaps), and a blaring horn section that recalls light-hearted pop-rockers like Dexy and the Midnight Runners and Harvey Danger.
		British artists suffered from the stifling production techniques of the older generation and a non-indigenous blues influence, but a desperate sincerity often shone through.
		Eventually, the Beatles revolutionized British pop, and with the exception of Cliff Richard the entire first school of British pop idols was composted for the new British Invasion sound.

		Their migration was also spurred by the chance to make a handsome living without the crushing burden of British taxes, which exceeded 90 percent in the highest brackets.
		The onslaught of British bands also had a paradoxical effect on musicians who started their careers in the United States, but ultimately left for greener pastures.

		I have six of the CDs in the British Invasion series and all are very good.
		The only thing keeping the CDs from a 5 star rating is each CD has a few "bonus tracks" (maybe songs not included on an earlier cassette release) that I could have lived without (We are the Moles??), but some are interesting.

		Leading off with the elegant "More Than This," they placed an unmistakably artful stamp on other cuts that include "While My Heart Is Still Bleeding" and "True to Life." The interlacing guitar and waves of synthesizer form a perfect backdrop for Ferry's wistful, poignant crooning.
		On this proto—glam rock release, they vamp through such heady numbers as "Bang a Gong (Get It On)" and "Jeepster." Their refreshing musical approach included horns, strings, and Bolan's fantastical worldview, and it kicked open the door to a new era for countless bands that followed.
		The Kinks were the working-class dandies of the British Invasion, and if that seems oxymoronic, well, so they were.
