If Britain was as big as the U.S.A then that is a massive amount of influential bands but we are not and accept it so credit where credit is due but it seems not to be so judging by many opinions in this thread.

Quit yer whining :P I don't see how you can complain that poor 'little' Britain deserves more cred because ratios aren't taken into account when Britain and the US are dominating the polls just as they dominate most other things in the world due to sheer size and influence. Britain is not small. Britain's population: 60,943,912. Australia's: 21,007,310. Look how many votes Australia has. We are a much, MUCH smaller country than both of you, as are many other countries in the world that produce amazing music that never gets heard.
Polls like these are pointless because the US and UK are ALWAYS always always going to be the top two. Does this mean that those nations make the best music? No. It means these two countries produce the most music that hits the mainstream and that we listen to.
