Why don't British artists like the members of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, etc. sound like they've got British accents on their albums?

Because Americans invented singing, so to show their appreciation, all the limeys sound like their superior little brother America

It's not like any kind of British I've ever heard.
Jason Wilson
singing was invented by Louis Armstrong in 1910
Luis Lee
because you've heard only modern british dialects which all sound like garbage
Ian Lee
I've watched a bunch of old British-made movies. Older than any of the bands I've listed. They still don't sound the same as the people from the bands.
Angel Campbell
They're trying to sound like American negroes, especially Mick Jagger.

Because america is a FAR LARGER market but also extremely casually xenophobic, it's remarkably hard to get the average american to consume media that appears to be foreign, yes britain is "foreign".
If you're a brit and you want to make it in the US markets, you need to either get extremely lucky and use your brit-ness as your hook OR you need to hide it as well as you can.
The latter works far better than the former.

But I'm talking about rock'n'roll, not some gay as fuck local English music.

Because you sing with the back of your throat.
Most English accents are spoken with the front of your mouth.
Gavin Allen
probably to give their music universal appeal
Andrew Davis
This is the closest actual answer. The American 'slack-jawed' dialect is a result of much more relaxed vowel sounds which are naturally adopted when singing. If you hear someone singing in a distinctly English accent, they're putting it on.

Nigga have you heard Syd Barrett?
Brandon Rivera
Okay maybe Pink Floyd isn't the best example.
