The U.S., distinctly American artists that come to mind:

Bob Dylan
Captain Beefheart
Miles Davis
Thelonious Monk
John Coltrane
Philip Glass
John Cage
Robert Johnson
Townes van Zandt
Pavement
Sonic Youth
Talking Heads

The diversity of American music is another thing that trumps the UK. The UK has produced some great rock and pop musicians, but the jazz, blues, and classical genres are still and always have been dominated by Americans.
