I wasn't merely speculating about population. At the time it would have been harder to spread new music around such a big area than it would your country. It's not opinion, that's fact... it's common logic. With the same hose it would take longer to fill a swimming pool up with water than it would a bathtub.
Album sales nowadays are not the definition of "success" - so it's not the same thing.
The genre was spawned in Jamaica due to American influence. America had ska before England in our cajun country. Ska found it's way across the pond and was popular in England. Ska came back to America - popular, and then America reworked it. And now ska is almost completely dominated by American bands.
There ya go. Ska.
I'm tired of this roundabout thread. Each of us have too much pride to allow any admittance or give any ground - it's pointless. That being said - I'm outta here. I'd be glad to talk about this sans competitive nature!
