What happened to English rock and roll bands. A few years ago they were putting out. Now it's quiet.

Simon Cowell and music competition reality shows have fairly well distorted the music markets globally.

The sixties produced the best bands and the best music.
Also 'schools of performing arts' e.g : BRIT School - Wikipedia probably lead to a certain homogeneity of product in such a small, London-centric country.
Lot of the septuagenarians would wander down this way to give a concert.I give credit to the British bands of the 60's but Led Zeppelin and the Sex Pistols of the 70's should not be forgotten. I'm going to bypass the 80's but the 90's gave us Oasis and Blur; the 00's gave us Coldplay and Radiohead) I liked Kasabian.
I'm not saying 90's bands like Oasis / Blur or Radiohead were as good as the 60's Beatles or Rolling Stones but 70's bands like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath certainly stand up to the 60's bands.
In fact, many might claim Zeppelin are the greatest British rock band ever.
EDIT: I forgot "the Cure" and "the Smiths" from the 80's, the Jam from the 70's. They probably never made it to the US but we loved them (well, not so much the Smiths, I hated them)
