Take them out of the equation it's basically a tie. Sure the US may be making more good music, but they're also making a massive amount more crap compared to the UK. That and the fact that there's no difinitive local scenes in comparison to Europe and Japan makes it a pretty moot point.

In quantity yes, but that's because we're a larger and more industrial country. So that's not really fair.
I know we have a LOT of crap, but I think we have a lot of emerging talent. The British scene is just hilariously sad right now. Amy Winehouse is the UK's most
critically acclaimed new artist. Seriously.
So I'd actually rather settle for our post grunge and nu metal if the Libertines and Lady Sovereign is all the brits have to offer right now.
