anyone know why lambchop has better exposure in the uk than the us? john peel possibly… and if you say because they have better taste in the uk, you'll have to explain away bros, bucks fizz and steps
Top 40 american atistes today, as judged by the UK!!!
The British do have better music taste though, check out the albums and singles charts for comparisons.
Captain America also talked up Lambchop rather a lot on his Virgin show.
But Lambchop played a bit larger venues in the UK as well.

So in all, disregarding quality, we don seem to have many more than 20.
So my earlier facetious comment appears to be true.
We could always look here, but its really boring

Gee thanks Sonic……
notice that GGW cleverly avoided posting the American chart? Because whoever bad the UK chart is, there are still some quality albums left on it….. Which is probably more than can be said for the American top40.

Try spelling asinine correctly before you call someone foolish. :D
I am the biggest jackass in the entire world, GGW excepted, obviously.

I'd say that the U.K. and U.S. charts are of equal quality.
We've got Clay Aiken and you've got the Spice Gir…err….I mean Sugababes.

Ouch – not even one of them…Sarah M refers to Sarah Mclachlan – I was being lazy – you know her.
Danko is pure rock…Hawksley is kinda garage/glamish rock…kid koala is one of the best djs on the planet (included on U.N.K.L.E. and deltron 3030)…sarah slean has an amazing voice…just bc all people hear from canada is weak, doesn't mean all canadian artists are weak…
maybe kid koala wasn't on u.n.k.l.e…need back up help on this one
I was happy to see Queens of the Stone Age on that list. For me, they have the potential to be one of the best American bands of all time if they keep up. The last concert I saw them do really demonstrated how they are working their asses off…I hope they keep it up.
agreed, though I sadly have never seen them live.

so the indie chart is only a bit better… with lots of rap dr dre, 50 cent, 2pac, and snoop doggy dogg in the middle. but many of the artists on this list are signed to majors in the us. and just how many hundred(s) of copies of the warren zevon need to sold in order to come in at 40

nothing i really like, fuckin eurobastards…
add blue rodeo to the canuck list and robbie robertson
Sonic, you can add to that list,
The High Dials
Readymade
….both very good bands.
And not so good:
Sam Roberts
Pilate
____________
I was surprised to see that Magnetic Fields are American. Always assumed they were British.
PR_GRM, Will Oldham lives in Baltimore. Or he did, that last I heard. Don't know if he's from Baltimore or what his story is. Maybe his family is here so has planted his roots with them.
That picture of JT cracked me up. He looks so hardcore there. LOLOLOLOL. :roll:
And the one of The Neptunes really threw me for a loop. They look so different from all the other pictures I've seen. Looks like they've been hanging out with Ladytron.
