Do you like British music?

If you're wondering why British bands don't tour the US, here's why...
I don't know if this goes for artists of other countries as well, btw.

Good thing Mick and John live here, so they don't have to go thru that s***. But I'd feel sorry for Christine if she decided to rejoin the group. It's tougher for foreigners to get a visa these days.

Eh, what a load of crap. Look at the U.S. music charts sometime or any "music" station. It's mostly all Americans, and it's ALL sh*t (country, rap, pop etc.). I say bring on the Brits, and maybe they'll be a little better.

Bring on the Brits, the true gods of rock & metal :nod:

as an objective observer, british music is 10 times more interesting, innovative and enjoyable than american music, the finest example is the fact that the Scissor Sisters are a british-signed band.

Well..

There ARE probably great American bands out there, but they have more than 1% body fat, they wear glasses and they play instruments....so they don't play 'em.

I think so too, British music is closer to my roots, I think that's why I appreciate it more.

Maybe I imagined the article.

Yeah, it's quite the honor to play the Dunkin' Donuts Ampitheatre. Didn't you know that? ;)

Oh a famous Brit...

is kicking off his tour of the world in a couple of days here in Oklahoma, Robert Plant!!! (Playing the legendary 'Cain's Ballroom' in Tulsa then the show in OKC on Sunday)

I am curious to know just exactly who this 'well known artist' that Plant will be sharing his stage with this summer...Plant sure seems very 'mysterious' about the identity of this individual :nod:

But it has reclining seats with coffee cup holders in the armrests. I doubt Albert Hall can claim such sophistication.
