This is definitely drifting off course now.
UK music at the moment is (I think) pretty poor. There are still a lot of manufactured boy and girl bands there is also a lot of rap in the charts (I'm not a great fan of rap). I quite like some bhangra.
There isn't anything clearly good coming through, but who knows what may be round the corner.
I have read that UK music is definitely making a much smaller impression abroad these days. There are very few UK groups in the US charts now.
>WOW, just goes to show that there are still some things that are not universally known! :o) Makes me wonder what great music is available in the UK that is not in the US?

>>Ok

>>>You've really never heard of Train's songs "Meet Virginia", "Drops of Jupiter", or DMB "The Space Between?" in the UK? I didn't realize both were only known in the U.S.

>>>>>I could be a member of that club! :o) Back in my college days I worked as a waitress nights at the only restaurant at the airport in Grand Junction, CO. It's since been remodeled and there no longer is a restaurant, only a snackbar. Back then all snowbird flights to Aspen and Vail used to go through GJ so I met quite a few famous people including Kurt Russell (after the child movies and just before the big flicks), Stevie Nicks, Cher and Chastity Bono, George Hamilton, and more. Hey, I even served Charles Bronson a cheeseburger one day. :o} Last year my aunt dated a member of the rock group Train too. Those people are everywhere! :o) I have a friend that I talk to everyday at lunch at the coffee shop here that is a SIFU and does specialized wilderness, self-defense, etc training. He has quite a few students that are famous and they contact him all the time. He went on tour with the Dave Mathews band for a month once for fun and also with a couple of other bands. Just goes
