if it weren't for so much manufactured hype the kings of leon would be still asking if you wanted fries with that shake...
 
 there spot should easily be filled with GBV, Slobberbone or The Drive-by Truckers.
 
 i have no problem with artists who don't write there own songs. Prior to the Beatles most artists didn't write own songs.  Frank Sinatra and Elvis certainly weren't great songwriters. The problem today is the current hitmakers aren't up to quality of the old Brill Building hitmakers.  And today an artist image is more important than their repratory...

So what you're saying is, "new music is all shite"...which is what I've been saying all along!  :p

and you can take off the Strokes in favor of Brendan Benson... I'm suprised Brendan not on that list seeing as he's got more exposure in the UK then here.

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet are Cannucks.
 
 As is Pursuit Of Happiness

So in all, disregarding quality, we don seem to have many more than 20.
 
 So my earlier facetious comment appears to be true.
 
 We could always look here, but its really boring

anyone know why lambchop has better exposure in the uk than the us? john peel possibly... and if you say because they have better taste in the uk, you'll have to explain away bros, bucks fizz and steps

[markie]

The British do have better music taste though, check out the albums and singles charts for comparisons.
 
 Captain America also talked up Lambchop rather a lot on his Virgin show.
 
 But Lambchop played a bit larger venues in the UK as well.

as i read your post about Kings Of Leon and "fries with that shake" i thought "kosmo is one funny character and probably has the most agreeable outlook on this board"  
 
   until you post about Bryan Adams.
 
 now i hate you
