lol no. i recommend leaving your nebraska soy farm every once in a while. |
voltairesangryglove
11.19.16 | all of these are purely anecdotal. you could've used last.fm stats to create a more compelling argument. |
ArsMoriendi
11.19.16 | LCD Soundsystem's biggest hit is literally about how everyone in the UK thought they were an English band
The UK is also the only place they've had top 40 singles. This isn't really up for debate. |

11.19.16 | only because limey brits are too dumb to steal music |

11.19.16 | I'm from Argentina, did you know that Dave wanted originally to record their first live album here but they couldn't do it because of the 9/11? |
Divaman
11.19.16 | Blackmore's Night. They're hardly known here, except for a cult following but they're way more popular in Europe, I think particularly in Germany. |
Rik VII
11.19.16 | you could do a whole list for bands that are more popular in Japan than in their home countries, especially metal bands
@Divaman: I'm from Germany and never even heard of them, hahah |
rodrigo90
11.19.16 | I think offspring is HUGE in Japan |

Rik VII
11.19.16 | "Japan is hardcore about pretty much everything they love."
yeah, seems to be a backlash against the cultural ideal of sameness, finding identity in the music you listen to etc. |

11.20.16 | Japan: the only country in which the imported cd's are expensive but they come with a bonus track. |

DatsNotDaMetulz
02.04.17 | Bush feel like by far the best example. Most people only know of Gavin Rossdale because he's now a judge on The Voice UK now. But they probably think he'll be useful because they've been told Bush are huge in America. And the song Glycerine is mainly just known because of the Simpsons parody which many people don't even know was parodying Bush. |
