There's no British options. Everyone knows the best music comes from Britain (in the past: Beatles, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Queen, Status Quo, U2, Blur) and now there are bands such as Keane, Franz Ferdinand, Muse, Oasis, Razorlight, Travis, Coldplay etc. And solo artists such as Dan and Natasha Beddingfield, Dizzee Rascal, Robbie Williams, Katie Melua, Will Young etc.

But being American, you've probably never heard of them.
