Brittish singers...

[BreakfastSurreal]

Why is it nowadays you can't hear brittish accents when people sing? Back during the Brittish invasion in the 60's, you can clearly hear accents in the songs...examples..the beatles, the monkees, several others...I can't think of anyone now who sings with an accent. Why not?

Because the only stuff in America by British artists which is popular is shit which apes American accents. My opinion - Americans need to widen their taste!
