Songs That Hit # 1 in the UK and Flopped in America -- The 70s

George Bernard Shaw once said "England and America are two countries divided by a common language." Actually, they're divided by the same music. Some bands, like T Rex, were far too British to ever make much of an impression in the US. But Rod Stewart and Paul McCartney, both of whom sold boatloads of records here, enjoyed their biggest British hits with songs that didn't even make it to the US Top 40.
