[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Yeah, I think England is a bit big for the purposes of the thread. Especially as I only get a stupid tiny colony :mad:[/QUOTE]
Don't complain, you spawned Bono!

Wait. F[FONT="Verdana"]u[/FONT]ck you.

Canada has some big selling artists... Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain etc. None of them are particularly good.

Fine

Manchester - Oasis, or the Smiths. When it comes to A&I anyway.:thumb:

[QUOTE=Med57]From England, probably Radiohead or some other really little known band like that. From London/South-East England, I think Pink Floyd originated from London. So them.[/QUOTE]


I may be wrong, but I have a feeling Pink Floyd are from Cambridge...

I grew up in Hong Kong, who have absolutely no one anyone here will know... Except apart from William Hung....:lol:

I now live in Southampton, another musically barren zone...

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Manchester has a fine caliber as far as musicians go.

[/QUOTE]
Indeed we do.

/looks in mirror :D

I live in Hong Kong now, and I can vouch for its barreness. However, I have a buddy who lives in Southampton who makes some pretty decent music. I don't know how big either his solo show (A Lily) or his band (Yndi Halda) are there, since I normally live in the States and have never been to your fine town personally.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Canada sucks.[/QUOTE]

Dude, the Weakerthans.

Sweden: Kent/Eskobar
Finland: The Rasmus
Denmark: Mew
Norway: Sondre Lerche/Magnet
Canada: The Stills/Broken Social Scene
England: Radiohead
Ireland: Damien Rice
Scotland: Travis
France: Phoenix
Wales: Super Furry Animals
Netherlands: Kane/Arid
Germany: Notwist

That's all I can think of right now =\

Kane - Dreamer
Di-rect - Blind for you
The Sheer - It Only Gets Better

Can't say I've heard of either, but I'll be sure to look out for them!

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]You're from all those countries?[/QUOTE]

Don't forget The B-52's!

The Roots are from Pennsylvania.

Scotland: Jesus and Mary Chain, or Belle and Sebastien

Capdown are the best live band though.

Scapegoat...theyre pretty sick, probably will make it pretty big soon

London-
[B]Jimi Hendrix Experience.[/B]

Pixies, Piebald, Big D and the Kids Table, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Hmmm... The Ramones would have to be my favorite New York band.

[QUOTE=Cal_on_drums]London-

You can't have that, Hendrix wasn't British.

[QUOTE=Danzo]You can't have that, Hendrix wasn't British.[/QUOTE]

They were a [I]band[/I] that started in London and 2 of the 3 members were British. All their first gigs were here in London and they lived here and they're managment and record labe;l was too British,

Hence The Jimi Hendrix Experience was from London.

[QUOTE=Danzo]Hmmm, I still think they're American because it IS Hendrix.[/QUOTE]

No. We have the JHE!

Good Charlotte 4 lyfe!

Eh. I'm not too sure of any bands that came from around here. The Dismemberment Plan started in DC, so I guess that counts.

hendrix moved to london to get his band, therefore they started in london...so london gets the jimi hendrix experience, even though jimi hendrix himself was BORN in america...
