The British album charts are filled with such a diverse range of music, and this diversity means that seemingly anyone can change from an unknown to a chart topper within a short amount of time. This means that it isn't **** music that's being rewarded, it's good music (usually). Because of this British bands aren't afraid to experiment, because they know that as long as their music is good then it has a very good chance of becoming the next big thing. This doesn't happen in America, partly down to size of the continent as you said Expletive, but also because Americans seem to scared to change the formula. Your charts are polluted with Rap and RnB at the moment, because they are the only sorts of music that are being allowed to take the limelight at the moment. And this has been the case for a while now-before Rap it was Pop Punk, and before it was Pop Punk it was mindless Rock. America loves to latch onto a genre for a while and then practically beat it to death with huge amounts of airplay, endless amounts of useless bands and the like. While this happens in Britain it is way less of a concern and always has been. This is why Britain is better-it is not afraid to experiment, because it is allowed to.
