Half the bands that do get famous are really no better than America's popstars and gangsta rappers, the only difference is that British bands are hyped beyond reason and actually play rock music.

Just because the majority of stupid Americans can't recognize that our bands are good, doesn't mean we don't have amazing bands.

Well I don`t know about anybody else but I was referring to the last 25 years not just the last couple.Both those bands you mentioned would be very low on my list of 'great indie bands'

As was I when I was when I originally brought it up, but he seems to be talking about current bands.

Is this Brit vs Yanks all-time, or just now? Like I said earlier, all-time it's a draw (depending on what kind of music you prefer, either could win), but right now I'd say America is winning by a long shot.
