Do 70' s British musicians all wannabe Americans? Jelly Brah?

I remember the first gig I did with a 5-piece hard rock band I was in a few years ago. Our singer (who was very obnoxious with negligible musical talent) sang in an American kind of way, which was fine, because we were kind of a GnR style rip-off and I didn't care about the band that much.
But at this first gig he decided to speak in between songs with a bad American accent. The rest of us were horrified. I could see my friends in the audience looking at each other and cringing. It was so uncool. I'm not in that band any more.

Blur sounds pretty British to me, if we're going passed 70s bands.

 

Yup.  But that was the early 90's, when there was British pride and BritPop and etc. etc. etc.

The Smiths simply said "**** that" and were done with it when that was not exactly career-forward.  Ballsy, and genuinely artistic.
