Uh, most of what I listen to is in the Electronica genre. Even though that has a fair amount of good artists in the US, I think UK would have the slight edge here.

On the other hand, there's alot of bands/artists from other genres that I enjoy from the states (though I'm not gonna go and make another list). As for non-electronica bands in the UK such as Oasis, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, etc. I personally don't care much for many of them. I don't hate them or anything, I can listen to them just fine...they're just 'meh' in my mind.

So in the end, my vote will go to the U.S.

Actually, ill take UK just for its 70s prog. alone I much prefer the popular music there as well than the ones in the US.
And not to forget sweden along, just for its quality in terms of modern metal.

Meshuggah
Opeth
Pain Of Salvation
Dismember
Dissection
Sacramentum
At the Gates
Dark Tranquility
InFlames
Soilwork
Bathory
Bloodbath
Katatonia
Candlemass

Well, I think that USA haves a very good second place.

USA made a lot of excellent music, and is more varied than UK. It's just that, from the list of bands I most liked, UK wins.

for sheer volume of great artists I would plumb with our rain-sodden little island (whilst acknowledging that all popular music can ultimately be traced back to North America)
