the second part of a series focussed on the 2nd British Invasion. I originally said that this was a 2 part series but do to the sheer volume of UK artists during this time we will have to make this a 3 part series. The Second British Invasion consisted of music acts from the United Kingdom that became popular in the United States during the early-to-mid 1980s primarily due to the cable music channel MTV The term derives from the similar British Invasion of the U.S. in the 1960s.
