The UK is hardly 'innovative'. It just puts a spin on American black music. Blues, rock & roll, hio-hop, reggae (not strictly American, but still the result of American music traditions), soul.

You're not as renowned as you think you are. The British music press inflates the importance of your music scene a lot. It's very nationalistic.

And "renowned" isn't the same as "innovative". And "innovative" isn't the same as "good". I'm not sayign the music from the UK is necessarily bad. But rave was the UK's answer to hip-house. Jungle to hip-hop (same production techniques, right down to slicing up breakbeats, using old samples of black music and have some dude MC over it, the execution was just different).. UKG to house.. lots of 2-step was dudes doing their own wake on soul and r&b they've heard when they were younger. Do I need to even start about grime?

And yeah what were all these soul, r&b and rock & roll bands trying to sound like when they were making music? Notice how each of these genres was born in America in the first place?

For innovation, especially in the 20th century, you've got to look at the states. Both the UK and America owe everything to black dudes from the Mississippi delta playing acoustic guitars.

The UK is a lot like Japan when it comes to music. It took American things and gave them their own regional spin. There's nothing wrong with it, but it also didn't reinvent wheel. And it doesn't have to. It's good stuff.
