Back to the question, I had never heard of Robbie Williams, Kyle Minogue, Cliff Richard or Oasis before moving here either. I wasn't missing much!

I came up with a few....
It is amazing the amount of brittish music that never made it here.
I remember at christmas dancing around the living room to slade and
'here it is merry christmas' to my horror nobody else knew who it was.
What about
spandau ballet
status quo
UB40
ELO
slade
Not that i am a fan of these bands but there were some good tracks. Don't think i am a mad brit that is stuck in an era. I just had this convo with someone about bands from england.
this could be a fun thread too...
i am sure you guys will soon lower the tone!
or is that tune!

or is that tune! I also have to disagree (at this point - when we move over, it may be a different matter!) about Canadian radio. We loved it!! No more crappy top 10 pop over and over - just good solid rock. Then again, I am Canadian so it could possibly be ingrained and I just don't know any better...

revert to the lyrics of one of the Stone's many classics...
'You can't always get what you want, you can't always get what you want, but you find sometimes, ya get what you need...'
Oh yea....

Actually, yes is well known in Canada. He is performing at the Air Canada Centre, in Toronto on May 25th and then in Ottawa the following night.
I know this because I drive his Tour Bus when he is touring through North America.
