Germania's thread (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f9/i-s...-frown-409031/) got me looking through my iTunes library, trying to figure out if my favourite artists were British or American. As it happens, my list has a British bias. I'm not saying that British music is better, or even that I prefer British music. It might just be that I'm under-exposed to American music (or Tibetan music, for that matter). So, let's be clear. This isn't about whose music is better, or how many great bands the UK and the US have produced. It's about you and your favourites and where they're from. I realize that this thread/poll excludes people who mostly listen to non-UK/US music. I never claimed it was comprehensive.
Here are the rules:
1. List your ten favourite recording artists/bands (you don't have to post this). Check your music library if you have to.
2. Find out where each band is from. This isn't as straightforward as it seems, really. I mean, is Darren Hayes (remember him? Savage Garden.) Australian or American? But I'll leave the decisions up to you.
3. Vote. Tell us if your top ten list is "More British than American", "More American than British" or "Evenly Split."
4. Post. Tell us how large the bias is.
PS: By "UK", I'm referring to the political entity composed of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. I'm using "British" to mean "UKer", without excluding Ireland even though Ireland is not technically in "Great Britain." Apologies for the terminological confusion. My excuse is that I'm not British myself.
