What, if any, American bands do the British like?

You probably missed it, so I'm quoting it for him:

I'm sure you'll get more responses though.
(hopefully.. otherwise that would be a pretty big statement in itself)

Regarding the Channel Islands, are they regarded as a separate country from the UK or just part of the British Commonwealth or what's the story? It's never been clear to me.

Part of the UK , but not a part of Great Britain
With seperate governments, like the Isle Of Man.

Guernsey have been independent from the British government for over 800 years.

The British like a ton of American bands. I don't get your thinking about this. Of course if a new thread regarding a band from a Brit is usually about a British band because we have heard them first and want to share them, just the same as an American will hear a band from the U.S before us (generally).

If you are British then it's only natural that you will have an affinity for music that you are familiar with and can identify with and will talk about them more but there is no bias from any genuine music fan I assure you.

Apart from the usual suspects (Radiohead, Coldplay) it could be argued that British music is talked about far less than U.S bands but not through any natural bias.
