If a boy from an island in the Mediterranean can enjoy Ryan Adams (whom may I remind you enjoys great success in "blighty") and his alt country wail without ever having experienced anything similar to the South or relate to the melancholy of Cesaria Evora's songs without actually understanding a single word she's saying , I'm sure English lads will have no problems relating to some American indie/folk band signing in his/her own language...
Also:
You seem to forget that not everyone is as enthusiastic about music as you, me or most other people on MB. Different strokes for different folks, what works for some people doesn't for others. The sooner you accept that not everyone likes (or should like) what you do the happier you'll be... 
I agree with pharaoh, OR are a good but certainly not a spectacular band... |
A cultural barrier NEVER stops people listening to music but the sound of OR is not as popular as say guitar indie music in Britain, therefore they will have a lot less exposure or people will not neccessarily search for that sort of music. I was actually trying to placate Ethan and say that good music does'nt always get the exposure it deserves.
I have always accepted if people don't like my music. I don't get genuinely angry. Frustrated-yes, but then we all do if certain great albums get glossed over whether by the media or music fans in general.
