If mentioning solo artists,

Cliff Richard

Robbie Williams (the UK's best selling solo artists ever and I think only two minor US hits)

Muse immediately comes to mind.

It's interesting to watch the highliights of a festival like Glastonbury and see all these bands that are really popular in Europe but not well known here.

It's hard to overstate how big Queen was in the UK.

Rodriguez was a sensation in South Africa but was a completely unknown day laborer in Detroit (and still is).
