Tunstall and James Blunt, achieved international success. New forms of dance
music emerged, fusing hip hop with garage to form grime. There was also a
revival
of garage rock and post punk, which when mixed with electronic
music produced new rave.
British rock
describes a wide variety of forms of music made in the
United Kingdom. Since around 1964, with the "British Invasion" of the
United States spearheaded by the Beatles, British
rock music has had a
considerable impact on the development of American music and rock music
across the world.
Initial attempts to emulate American rock and roll took place in Britain
in the mid-1950s, but the terms "rock music" and "rock" usually refer to the
music derived from the blues-rock and other genres that emerged during the
1960s. The term is often used in combination with
other terms to describe a
variety of hybrids or subgenres, and is often contrasted with pop music, with
which it shares many structures and instrumentation. Rock music has tended
to be more oriented toward the albums market, putting an emphasis on
innovation, virtuosity, performance and song writing by the performers.
Although much too diverse
to be a genre in itself, British rock has
produced many of the most significant groups and performers in rock music
internationally, and has initiated or significantly developed many of the most
influential subgenres,
including beat music, progressive rock, art rock, heavy
metal music, punk, post punk, new romanticism, and indie rock.
