The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Queen, and The Rolling Stones are amongst the biggest selling in the world.[59] England is also credited with being the birthplace of many musical genres and movements such as hard rock, British invasion, heavy metal, Britpop, glam rock, drum and bass, progressive rock, punk rock, gothic rock, shoegazing, acid house, UK garage, Trip Hop and Dubstep.
These are only a few examples of the brilliant culture that comes from England.
