I think that aside from a few bands like Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Muse, etc. The british rock scene is really pitiful right now. The Libertines, Art Brut, The Kooks, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party. Pretty awful stuff.
Arctic Monkeys are one of the better new bands to come around and they're not really that great but because decent british bands have become such a rarity people have to hype the sh*t out of them.
Hell even Muse are starting to suck.
I guess after 4 decades of awesomeness the brits had to go downhill eventually.
USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
