I think it`s more down to exposure than anything.

America seems very conservative when it comes to music , hence it`s charts full of hip hop , R&B & rock and very little else.

The UK seems to enjoy looking for new things.And bands that do something a little different seem to become popular, case in point Massive Attack. They were really the first band to mix Hip Hop , Electronica , Reggae , Dub & Dance Music.Blue Lines was probably the biggest selling UK album when it came out.

You just don`t see that happening in America.
