Kate Bush (not a band, but definitely an entity hehe & primarily known after 1981)
The Smiths
The Fall
The Cure
The Police
Radiohead
Love and Rockets
Duran Duran
Arcadia
Soweto Kinch (again, not a band, but a contemporary jazz saxophonist)
New Order
The Jesus & Mary Chain
aren't The Birthday Party transplanted from Australia but still kinda British?
if forced to name a DJ, Mr. Scruff
I suppose Wire, Buzzcocks, Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Clash & Sex Pistols are a bit too early. And from a period even more previous, Nick Drake, Roxy Music, T. Rex (Marc Bolan), Syd Barrett, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, The Who & Pink Floyd would get mentions.
