The UK really got Rock going from the British Invasion. Canterbury Scene was great. Then most of my favorites were from the UK during the early 70s Glam period. I remember wondering why so much musical goodness was coming from the UK. (Later read about the art school thing.)
Then, Punk/New Wave period, probably. I can't think of a wave of special music from the UK after that. (Maybe my memory needs refreshing.)
@Dino interesting point. Makes me admit that I indirectly said that new wafe/punk/RnB/rap are inferior vs rock/alternative/indie (in general with a touch of stereotype).
I did kind of the same thing, @TRex . I have pretty eclectic tastes but when you posted "music" my mind went to "Rock" because that is what I listen to the most.
The UK had better rock in general it feels like, but America had some absolute titans, The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed, REM, Pixies, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Talking Heads, The Stooges/Iggy Pop, The New York Dolls, Beck, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Prince, etc.
