  The British do have better music taste though, check out the albums and singles charts for comparisons.
 

Doesn't look very good to me:

those are the "pop charts" over there.  slimy teenagers are the same all over the world.

Gee thanks Sonic......
 
 notice that GGW cleverly avoided posting the American chart? Because whoever bad the UK chart is, there are still some quality albums left on it..... Which is probably more than can be said for the American top40.

  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

I'd include:  
 Hawksley Workman
 Danko Jones
 Kid Koala
 SaraH Slean
 Sarah M
 
 to add a few more to your list...and I personally would put the above into the quality list...

 Try spelling asinine correctly before you call someone foolish.    
 
 I am the biggest jackass in the entire world, GGW excepted, obviously.

   until you post about Bryan Adams.
 
 now i hate you
 
 
    :mad:  [/QB]

how would you feel if i remove him from the list due the fact that he's not very current... last album up new stuff released in 1999

That GGW is one sly fox.....

 I'd say that the U.K. and U.S. charts are of equal quality.
 
 We've got Clay Aiken and you've got the Spice Gir...err....I mean Sugababes.

 Ouch -- not even one of them...Sarah M refers to Sarah Mclachlan -- I was being lazy -- you know her.
 Danko is pure rock...Hawksley is kinda garage/glamish rock...kid koala is one of the best djs on the planet (included on U.N.K.L.E. and deltron 3030)...sarah slean has an amazing voice...just bc all people hear from canada is weak, doesn't mean all canadian artists are weak...
 maybe kid koala wasn't on u.n.k.l.e...need back up help on this one

I was happy to see Queens of the Stone Age on that list. For me, they have the potential to be one of the best American bands of all time if they keep up. The last concert I saw them do really demonstrated how they are working their asses off...I hope they keep it up.

[Bags]

agreed, though I sadly have never seen them live.

 so the indie chart is only a bit better... with lots of rap dr dre, 50 cent, 2pac, and snoop doggy dogg in the middle. but many of the artists on this list are signed to majors in the us.  and just how many hundred(s) of copies of the warren zevon  need to sold in order to come in at 40

Nick Oliveri's side project Mondo Generator is playing Black Cat next month.  The opening act is one of Markie's favorite bands Bad Wizard.

nothing i really like, fuckin eurobastards...

[kosmo vinyl]

add blue rodeo to the canuck list  and robbie robertson

[Jaguär]

Sonic, you can add to that list,
 
 The High Dials
 Readymade
 
 ....both very good bands.
 
 And not so good:
 
 Sam Roberts
 Pilate
 ____________
 
 I was surprised to see that Magnetic Fields are American. Always assumed they were British.
 
 PR_GRM, Will Oldham lives in Baltimore. Or he did, that last I heard. Don't know if he's from Baltimore or what his story is. Maybe his family is here so has planted his roots with them.
 
 That picture of JT cracked me up. He looks so hardcore there. LOLOLOLOL.    :roll:  
 
 And the one of The Neptunes really threw me for a loop. They look so different from all the other pictures I've seen. Looks like they've been hanging out with Ladytron.
