And what about Classical (from 1783 on)? There are real big names in US: Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Samuel Barber, Elmer Bernstein, John Cage, etc. At the other side of the Atlantic there are great composers too, such as Gustav Holst and Edward Elgar, but I personally would tip the scales in America's favour.
