Or when Ry portrayed Raph Macchio in Crossroads with Brittney.

behind the US, England for sure produces the most artists I like, but it should be obvious why that is the case

and let's not pretend OP is talking about reggae or something, he means white guys with guitars

To be fair, white guys with guitars have been known to play reggae.

The only thing you can dare guess is that the OP is a Cream fan ... maybe. At very first glance I was thinking maybe the OP was a fan of Dylan and/or The Band, but the song I was thinking was "This Wheels' On Fire." However since both Bob and The Band are American it was a fatal blow against that being the possibility. It had to be another reference to something and it turns out to be Cream's third album. I have a strong feeling about this cause Cream are from the UK. Cream is an example of Brits being so good at music.

I'd take Norway over England any day.

I have a feeling we are basically just talking about English artists though tbh. Which obviously makes it even smaller.

OP said the British Isles but that would include the ROI and I don't think we are counting that, I don't think we are including Scottish, Northern Irish or Welsh artists either. Or are we?

Yeah I meant specifically English, although I do have a bit from Scotland, Ireland and even Wales (9Bach is a really good band).

Negative, sir.*

But if my comment makes less sense because I'm not, then it's because I skimemd and replied to Fluff's comment way too fast.

I made a comment where I think I said British when I meant English. I thought he referred to that.



*Unless you're asking if I'm overpowered. Yes I am. I will be nerfed in the next patch.

Na I was in agreement with you Mic and then I moved on to something else cos of the wording of the OP.

How do you punch above the "empire" weight class?
