Top 10 Best British Solo Artists
Roderick David "Rod" Stewart is a British rock singer-songwriter. Born and raised in London, he is of Scottish and English ancestry. The great talent, the artist who loves to sing and put on amazing shows. He enjoys making people happy, writes amazing songs, and gives the best performances. He still jumps, runs, kicks footballs, and tells jokes just like he used to when he was younger. But he's also become a true family man, never forgetting where he came from and always appreciative of his fans.
Last week in Glasgow, he told his fans again that he wouldn't have become a Sir without them. I've felt blessed to love him since I was a child. Rod is incredibly talented in so many ways, and his concerts are always quick to sell out. He is the right and perfect choice. On October 11, 2016, he was knighted by Prince William and became a Sir.

Steven John Wilson is an English musician, singer, songwriter and record producer, most closely associated with the progressive rock genre. He is best known for his band Porcupine Tree. I love his music, both with Porcupine Tree and his solo work. I didn't know of him until 2017, but not since I discovered Pink Floyd in the late '70s has new music made such an impact on me. I love his voice too. He sings with so much emotion.
If you like music such as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Radiohead, The Moody Blues, etc., check out his solo work. My favorite albums are Insurgentes and Hand. Cannot. Erase., but they are all fantastic. Also, check out Porcupine Tree, for example, the songs: "Anesthetize," "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here," and "Time Flies." I promise you, you will not regret it. Steven Wilson is such a musical genius and a great singer too.
My favorite music of all time!
