Third Wave ska is completely dominated by our West Coast ska bands and further strengthened by the few greats coming from the East Coast.

Huh? Pretty much all the original Ska bands were from Jamaica , as i`ve explained the UK has a large population of Jamaican immigrants who bought it over & made it popular in the UK along with the Mods who embraced it too. So no , you didn`t have Ska before us at all.

also - since you have trouble finding artists that do these genres...

Even if it was invented in Detroit most techno i`m aware of originated in Europe based on what Kraftwerk started.In fact New Order were taking inspiration from Italian house music in 1981/82 which led in turn to Blue Monday being created.But even so it was the Brits who ran with it.Dance music became one of the biggest genres here in the 90s thanks to the likes of The Prodigy , The Chemical Brothers , Fatboy Slim , Orbital , Basement Jaxx , Underworld , The Orb , & Death In Vegas. I can`t think of any American dance acts who came close to even challenging them.

We were joking , the fact is like I said it`s American folk music , ours is different.There`s no need for us to do country music.
