All of the country speaks English and to a high standard?

And most places in Asia don't speak English that much.

some news report said we're the best in English speakers in Asia, since Singapore is too small to count

the Philippines would come close as well

It may be the best in Asia by that standard but still not as high a standard as the places I mentioned I think where I understand that English is taught on an equal level with the native language and has been for a long time.

I don't really like these questions to be honest. It instigates nationalism in people. Or at least an artificial sense of pride in where you are from. It kind of contradicts everything music is for me, something universally human and empathetically beautiful and because of that, I think categorising who is better at making music is a little childish ( not targeting the thread maker or anyone in this thread at all). I just think music means more than this.

This is music and not some race debate I'm English and proud of it, but I voted the USA as more of my favourite bands are from there, so that kind of defeats your hypothesis!

This is what I say all the time on music forums. Obviously this poll doesn't have to looked at that way but some will. It's the same with other artforms, some people in some places look at it as patriotic to highly rate art from where they are from. For example quite a few Eastern European films are probably highly overrated on imdb because of this.

I'm English but not that proud of it in some ways (awful politics, awful tabloids), but proud in some I suppose.

I'm stuck between the US and Europe as a whole. Hundreds of years of music really can't be disregarded lightly!

Europe is not exactly Anglosphere, only two countries are (UK and Ireland)

I was under the impression most Indian music isn't in English. Most that I've heard certainly isn't.

Europe as a whole isn't part of the Anglosphere, especially if you're talking about music from hundreds of years ago.
