They were definately part of the britpop era, and most certainly famous worldwide, but i think they've sold themselves out recently. I can imagine them being like the rolling stones (even though the stones rule).

It doesn't matter if they're over rated. The fact is they actually come from the UK.
AND PLUS THAT'S YOUR OWN OPINION!

Britain has some great underground bands, their is at least 2 or so that I can say on the top of my head that I would class better than ANY band that I have heard from elsewhere (remember this is an opinion and i said that I have heard)

But yesh, especially:

Biffy Clyro

The Cure, and that's it. UK however, is famous for the entire load of ringtones (and I wouldn't call that 'music', but it's the only thing they have that makes them 'infamous').

All the music is mainstream, and 60% of the bands steal each others lyrics.

To quote the Simpsons - "47% of statictics are made up, 51% of people know that."

Also, in great UK musicians - Elvis Costello, Jools Holland, and The Kinks. WHY DOES NO-ONE MENTION THE KINKS?

Franz Ferdinand steals sentences from The Beatles, and Madonna (She isn't British but she attempts to copy the accent) stole the beginning synth from some french guy for the song 'Frozen'. It's banned in a few countries. And many more...

Just read the lyrics, and listen to some randomn songs from Franz Ferdinand.

Compare, and look at the overuse of the same words.
