I assume you mean not understanding the colloquialisms by English artists?
If so, I understand you completely...thats why some artists are huge in some countries and not others.
Its also why country music never really caught on in the UK or early rap like the real gangster rappers never took off outside the US.
Surf music never really caught on bigtime in the UK in the 1960s
Paul Weller,Billy Bragg,Ian Dury,Madness,Specials,The Beat etc never caught on in the US because their lyrics were 'english' dealing with English subject matter....
Americans don't understand British humour in comedy neither and likewise US humour didn't take off in the UK neither until Seinfeld...because lets face it, Seinfeld was generic humour,it was different from what came previously from the US
