    What he said.

    And if I may, I'd like to add a few more to that list:

    Cuff the Duke
    Sam Roberts
    Ron Hawkins (formerly of Lowest of the Low)
    Chris Brown & Kate Fenner
    Greg Macpherson Band
    Danny Michel
    Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir
    Neil Young (he's still going strong)
    K-OS
    C'mon
    I think you forgot this new band..."The apocalyptic south emerging the boundaries of north" (from ontario, probably). I heard they play progressive canadian metal.
    You can´t trust a vegetarian.

    I've always much preferred American music to be honest. While a lot of the underground stuff in the UK is brilliant, the mainstream stuff that gets played on the radio is, almost without exception, shite. I can't stand any of the arty-punk indie bands like Bloc Party, The Futureheads, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian or any of those bands. All this bullshit about them writing songs about every day life and mundane things is rubbish. They say nothing to me about my life (thanks Morrissey, incidentally The Smiths being the only GREAT mainstream UK indie band).

    Spot on. Ive always preferred American bands. British music is usually overhyped shite. Lots of style and absolutely no substance.Or tunes.(im from UK in case that makes a difference.......)
