When I saw the title "why do so many great bands come from across the pond", I thought you were asking why so many great bands come from the USA. Assumed you were British.

After all, it would be a more valid question. I believe that the most influential, genre changing music from 1980 to present date has mostly come from North America. I would argue that Britain, by contrast, since 1990, has produced very few extremely memorable bands, and not a superfluity of important ones either.
