isn't it just probably a matter of numbers?; the US is enormous, it will have more of most things

Frustrating isn't it. Especially with all the evidence in the above quotes.

THAT is the question that solves the "problem". "America the Great" feelings aside, the assumptions made by the "statistics"' results are plainly wrong. Deal with it.
Jazz? US rules. Pop music? They sell more. Quality and expansion even of native music genres? Ops, Old Europe kicks hard some a$$es.

When I worked at a record store, a new Aerosmith CD came in with a sticker proclaiming "America's Greatest Rock Band." I thought: "That can't be true! What about...?" and then couldn't think of any American rock bands. I am as much of a patriot as anyone, but Britain clearly destroys us at music.

| Brainfrating aside, are you now suggesting that Aerosmith is America's greatest rock band? That would be surprising.

I don't think very highly of Aerosmith at all, but I'm hard pressed to think of another one, unless you count backing bands like the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Maybe Boston? I'm open to suggestion.

The Doors? Van Halen? Alice in Chains? Hell, Nirvana? And I haven't heard very much of The Band but they must be better than Aerosmith too 'coz it can't be very hard?

US did actually produce a number of fine acts, but in the 70's UK was a solid diamond mine in great music.

Tool, Metalica, The Mars Volta, Pearl Jam, Mega D. , aren't they all US Rock bands. Better than Aerosmith ? Then the classics : Doors, Zappa, CC revival, N. Young, Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd.

Zappa and Neil Young aren't bands (Neil Young is Canadian, anyway). I am not rally a fan of any of the others mentioned, although CC Revival are pretty good.

Yep, I think that the more popular bands like Aerosmith, KISS or GNR give American rock a bit of a bad name. If you exclude prog and consider only straight up rock, it doesn't match up so badly with British rock.

Each to his own then. The Doors were way more important to rock music than Aerosmith. I thought you said greatest and not just the one that's your favourite?

Not a big fan of everything I have mentioned myself, was just saying, US have produced quite a few fine rock bands. Aerosmits are not that bad either, as a straight up rock act.
