If mentioning solo artists,

Cliff Richard

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

Unfortunately, the US mean population has lost its appetite for good rock.

I remember watching a special on him about 10 years ago and all this wealth he had and popularity and thinking, "Who in the hell is this guy?"

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.
