Which country (within the Anglosphere) makes the best music?

I picked the United States, because of the pacific northwest and New York music scene, but Canada and Australia have some pretty awesome bands too.

I think i like more bands from the UK than anywhere else overall.

it's doesn't have to be between the English speaking countries, it surely is Britain.

Absolutely none of the british classic rock bands would exist without american soul,blues and rockabilly.The states by a country mile.

Churchill would have been nothing without his parents, but he was still a greater person. The influences are not necessarily better than what they influence and vice versa.

and music wouldn't exist without Folk and classical blah blah blah. Just because we were highly influenced by stateside music doesn't automatically mean that American music is the default by which all other music should be judged. Britain is smaller than a few states in America but look how much has come out of this tiny isle and that always seems to be forgotten in these arguments.

Probably because it has nothing to do with the actual conversation.
