Have England and Canada produced a single good band between them since the Beatles?

Oh easily.
The vast majority of bands in the world are crap.

And the population of Canada as of July 2002 is 31,413,990, not 34M.

I admit that that was a cheap trick because I knew you couldn't be arsed to list 63 sucky bands.

Sublime is from Long Beach.

And California makes great music. I happen to have lived in both California and Canada and like both Canadian Rock and California-style.

List Alanis if you want; Canada still can't hold a torch to California, which is just one state in our illustrious union. I could list a lot more Californian bands, but I'd be forced to turn to the newer bands (Incubus, Linkin Park, etc.) that I can't stand.

[Asher]

I could list a lot more Canadian bands too, that was hardly a complete list.

The point is, both styles are awesome.

I'm sorry if you've been tainted by Blur to see that.

Incubus especially (how dare you list them with Linkin Park) are awesome.

ok this is getting too stupid. I think i'll quit now.

[Jaguar]

Our crossposts agreed.

Incubus especially (how dare you list them with Linkin Park) are awesome.

They're all the same to me, stuff my kid brother listens too. I don't listen to any bands that weren't around in 1995...

There are three regions of the US that produce good rock music:

Seattle area.
California.
Southern states.

[Drake Tungsten]

New York beats all three of those.

All the same..............

Linkin Park and Incubus quite a bit different if you ever, you know, listened to some recent albums from both.

What good rock bands came from New York?

I know The Strokes came from the New York area, and that puts New York off to a horrible start...

The US has much more hip-hop, which explains the relative lack of Rock bands in the Southeast. Most musicians are rappers there. There's also a lot of them in New Orleans, St Louis, California, and the Northeast. Canada is almost entirely a rock country (albeit not a very good one.) (Sorry, couldn't resist. )

[Asher]

As you can see, Canada has better music taste in general Jaguar.

The vast majority of hiphop out there is degenerative crap. There's some good stuff out there I don't mind, but hiphop has a higher crap:quality ratio than any other genre I can think of, aside from Country.

Three(3? wtf?) Five words: "It's getting hot in here"

New York isn't at its best right now, but rock music is hurting all over the US. New York has an illustrious past, however, being the birthplace of punk and all. I couldn't even begin to list all the great bands that have come out of New York.

Everyone has different music taste. One would think something is unbearable to hear while one may not. Just because you and your friends think it suck/rules doesnt mean its necessarily an universal truth. Nor just because MTV or some other media says so doesnt either. Most likely when you move yourself out of your little community bubble and find yourself in a different place that mostly thinks your favorite group sucks, i bet you wouldnt feel too great about them offending them. How can you judge art really?
