Why do so many great bands come from across the pond? (jazz, genre)

Of course! Beer is everything! I never thought when I moved from Adelaide Australia to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I'd be unearthing so many great beers... I can totally understand why this place likes to call itself "brew city" - and all the great micro - breweries in Wisconsin, ahhh it can be quite the beer drinking paradise...

But I desperately miss my Coopers... badly, ever so badly...

Had a few Coopers myself last night. I actually have the relatives staying from the old dart and we hit it big last night at the casino. I am lighter in the pocket today no doubt. Why do Casinos have such crumby covers bands on. I would have The Necks freakin the punters out.

I got some Coopers through a mail - order operation last year - my wife had it shipped as a Birthday present, and I tells ya, sucking down those after a two year hiatus was heavenly...

*sudden craving for Coopers beer*

Is this actually true? Please correct me if it is but the Aussies all say that and I gotta say that when I was there their beer was no cooler, they just chill the glasses.

LIES!

Alota my American friends dont care if the beers warm. To them a skunked beer is still a good beer.

Green on tap and red out of a stubbie. How good is the stout!

mmmmmmmmm.... coopers stout, lovely, lovely beer that one... my mouth waters at the very thought...

On my next visit with the family back in Adelaide, I vow to devote a good one third of each day to drinking Australian beers again. Seriously...

When I saw the title "why do so many great bands come from across the pond", I thought you were asking why so many great bands come from the USA. Assumed you were British.

After all, it would be a more valid question. I believe that the most influential, genre changing music from 1980 to present date has mostly come from North America. I would argue that Britain, by contrast, since 1990, has produced very few extremely memorable bands, and not a superfluity of important ones either.

You're right, let's draw the line at the 80's and completely ignore the wealth of musical awesomeness that we produced before.

The only time I have ever had a warm beer is when I leave it too long, which doesnt happen very often.
