Given some of the most successful North American bands over the past decade are awful crap like Matchbox 20 , Goo Goo Dolls , Staind , Hootie & The Blowfish , Live , Pearl Jam , Dave Matthews Band & Nickelback I think i`d listen to manufactured pop instead , at least you can dance to it after a few drinks.

Luckily i`ll never be in the situation where i`ll have to choose between the 2

the future of british music lies with the nine black alps and the subways, mark my words. and NBA will be huge in america, their just waiting for a grunge revolution.

I knew there was one I forgot

America has just got over grunge , I don`t want another one already

i tend to think britian has the better up-and-coming bands at the moment, wer're going through a resurgence. sure the U.S has the stripes, leon, BRMC, strokes, beck, HH, the walkmen etc, but here, damn the new wave is rockin.

The problem I have with most of these new British rock bands is I find a lot of their stuff a bit too samey, It`s nearly all generic guitar rock.

Compare that to say 8-12 years ago when you had the likes of Primal Scream mixing acid house with Stones riffs , Blur making traditional british guitar pop , Belle & Sebastian influenced by the singer songwriters of the 60s & 70s , Suede updating Ziggy era Bowie & T Rex for the 90s , PJ Harvey doing whatever the hell she wanted and so on & so on.

It just seems whenever I hear a new British band i`ll hear a single that I think is pretty good & then buy the album & find all the songs sound exactly the same. There just doesn`t seem to be the diversity in British rock anymore , everybody wants to be Coldplay or Franz Ferdinand
