[MrBrau1]

Television are American.

The Police are 1/3 American.

Christ, Brau that thread is from 2003.

So?

Did something happen between then and now to make it irrelevant?

Oh noes, people actually repeat topics occasionally! Whatever will we do?

Read them and see how thing may have changed?

Did I complain about repeat topics?

EURO-BANDS

 

[americangoth]

a mix of both euro and american, throw in a few great antipodeans as well like crowded house, supergroove (NZ) & eskimo joe

 

[greenlight7-11]

My collection has a pretty equal mix of both.

 

[Salome]

American

though European bands have been catching up a bit the last 5 years or so

 

[Billy Rotten]

I prefer British/Irish and Canadian music to American. My favourite bands are:

The Beatles
U2
The Police
Pink Floyd
Coldplay
Bryan Adams

 

[Popmartijn]

um... Bono even said "I am an american".

He did? Where and when?
(and no, when he states in concert: "A sign reads: 'I'm an American!'" that does not mean he says he's an American himself )

As for myself, I don't even want to make a list. I don't care where a band/artist is from. As long as they're making good music. (This morning I'm playing American artists (Norah Jones, Gram Parsons), whereas yesterday I was playing U2).

European:
Morrissey
The Smiths
The Verve

[MrPryck2U]

Wherever U2 is from.

 

[Saracene]

I catalogued my entire CD collection a few months ago according to the countries and I'd say that the split between European and US/Canadian is about 60% and 40%, respectively. Which actually surprised me because if you asked me to name 10 bands off the top of my head all of them would be British/Irish.
