Does Anyone Else Dislike British Music?
On my 30 years on this planet I don't think I have ever liked 1 UK act and i've went through various stages from rock to indie to house to trance and now at the country stage, Your Cheryl Cole's etc never did anything for me nor did the beetles, stones etc, any acts I did/do like have always came from the states.

Don't be so narrow-minded. Look elsewhere other than the charts these days and you'll find some amazing British bands and artists.

Don't get me wrong I do like a lot of what's in the charts but it's not a representation of what's really out there

Well if you hate Pop or R&B or Indie then when it comes to Electronic and Dance music the UK has produced loads of stuff lately to be massively proud of. All the Dubstep, House, UK Funky, 'Future' Garage, Electronic, Techno, etc. that have come out this country the past few years, but let me guess, you hate Dance music as well

Old UK rock and metal = Best in the world.
New UK musical output = Ballicks. |

Forget Ellie Goulding
What about Paul Weller, The Jam, The Clash, David Bowie, The Kinks, John Lennon, the list is never ending! |

I don't hate dance music but typically go for the soulful type house which 9/10 comes from the US, artists like Groove Junkies etc, dubstep is awful IMO

You know, music isn't simply made up on the spot in one box, in one country, by people of the same nationality 100% of the time don't you? There are so many similar acts between the UK and the US, with varied collaborations, backstage production, etc., preventing music from always being as simple as just "British Music" or "American Music". To go through the coincidence of not even liking a single UK act, I don't really think it is your tastes. I think it is just you. That's my opinion anyway.

You're probably just not looking in the right places. In any country there is always a massive variety of musical output from multiple decades, so the chances of you liking absolutely nothing are very slim.
What US bands do you like? What is it about British bands you find irritating? And a bit of a side issue- but British music and American music aren't your only two options. There are 195 countries in the world- why limit yourself to two? |

Other than Take That i can't think of another british act that i would pay to listen to.
i like a lot of british artists but not enough to pay too watch/listen. |

I hate the british acts that top the charts nowadays, however two current british acts that I love are stornoway and laura marling, hopefully they're the future of what's popular over here.
