Re: [L-OT] British bands

The Rolls, Bentleys, and Jags are really nice - but it may have to do 
with business more than quality - just like how Ataris and Macs are 
better than PC's but you know what happened there.

Actually England and the US dominate music strangely here in the US (as 
far as I'm concerned - certain to piss of many people) - one reason is 
that we like to listen to music we can understand. 

Despite their engineering strengths the Germans are not next with the 
hits. I think its the Swedes (Abba, Ace of Bass, etc), then Germans 
(Scorpions and 99 Luftballoons). Kraftwerk is an underground band. 

Here in the states I can hear more Spanish/Mexican/Tejano music than 
French, Italian, Russian, etc which is virtually non-existent - which is 
a shame. I taped one French punk song off the radio one time which I 
loved, but I have no clue what they are saying. I do have one CD of Offra 
Hazi made in Israel - I'm not sure if she is Jewish or Palestinian 
however, and I think she died in the meantime.

Actually I have quite a collection of about 30 Japanese CD's which I like 
a lot. Nakamori Akina, Princess Princess, Chisato Moritoka, Dreams Come 
True, etc.

I wonder how America rap music plays in Europe. I hear rap sounds stuff 
played in Indian movies. I think "god they are copying the worst part of 
American culture."
