Wow, this is one long thread. I'm not too certain who is "better" but I know I love music from both sides of the pond. I mean we (UK) have great bands like Gomez, whereas they (US) have great bands like Incubus. I don't know enough about music pre-1995 ish (I'm too young

), so I'm not going to argue about The Beatles etc.

BUT to say that the US owns the UK because of genres like Hip Hop is just stupid. We don't have much of a hip hop scene here (well, not that I know of), mainly because most MC's go into UK garage or other similar genres. See Dizzie Rascal etc. I love some of the stuff produced by Dangermouse, so I can see the attraction of hip-hop but most is now commercial ****e.

Anyway, US > UK in terms of population so it's kinda unfair don't you think?
