I keep thinking the title of this thread is Bear Vs Shark. Gotta admit, at a quick glance...

No, over the past several decade there are tons and tons of British bands that are very well known over here.

Well it could be argued we took Hip Hop & Jazz and invented Trip Hop.

I think when you put things in perspective The UK mops the floor w/ the US! The genre's of music that the UK doesn't excell at are the genre's that they don't really have the cultural foundation for: hip-hop, jazz, and country. Why in the hell would a Brit wanna' produce a country album? They don't wan't the sheep over there to be any more frightened than they already are!

so...because they don't have a cultural foundation for them, we're not allowed to count them? I don't think thats fair. If you play less genres of music, as a country, your talent pool is focused.

If you produce double the genres another country does, doesn't that dilute individual pools?
