I wonder how many Irish bands would appreciate being referred to as "British".

As for this comment: "the brits are generally just more intelligent in the way they present things, there's more depth when you compare bowie, beatles, stones to their contemporaries stateside. Too much pressure to sell perhaps resulting in compromise of artistic integrity/vision?"

So how do you explain the Spice Girls, Atomic Kitten, East 17, Westlife.... the list just goes on, on, on, and on. Oh yeah, and what about that chick that rips off Aretha Franklin, what's her name??? Amy Wino???

What a dumb statement to begin with.
