Talk:British popular music

What is popular music?
Never defined, as it should be in the lead (see LEAD). Is this article simply a summary of "Music of ..." 1950s to today? In which case, what is the rationale for repeating all this again. Or is it pop music, as opposed to rock and classical, and connected to institutions like the single charts? Which would be rather more interesting. Most of the rest could be covered in British Rock.


 * These unsigned points were valid criticisms, I have attempted to incorporate them into a rewrite, supplying a definition and covering all aspects of popular music in an overview. Articles on British rock, British jazz, British soul etc, should much more detail.--Sabrebd (talk) 15:46, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

What IS the difference between British popular music and British pop music
At the top of the British pop music article it states "For British popular music in general, see British popular music", however a lot of the examples/acts that seem to be discussed in the article 'British pop music' seem to be in the dance, indie and alternative/indie genres rather than about 'bog-standard' chart pop (i.e. the stuff some people might describe as cheesy). Shouldn't a lot of the examples be moved over here to the British popular music page (or have a separate chart pop article that includes both teen pop and heritage acts under 'British pop music' and re-brand 'British pop music' as some kind of overview of popular scenes or acts in the chart) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.173.247 (talk) 13:52, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Stadium Rock: the Big Music
Can somebody write a bit about Stadium Rock aka 'The Big Music' (see Rob Hughes from Classic Rock on 13 June 2014 ) as Simple Minds, The Alarm and Big Country were big in the 80s and because Stadium Rock (of the Q magazine kind) seems to be slightly different to what Arena Rock means. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.173.247 (talk) 13:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
