And when you say nowhere near as big you need to define where exactly, I`m guessing you are talking solely about the USA here?

All the bands that have been mentioned were huge in the UK and to decide who were bigger than others, it really would be just a question of adding up album and singles sales figures, because all of these are household names here unless people were too young to remember these bands.
