British People shouldn't sing, cause of their teeth.

You know all that tea and stuff.

Also, I could name loads of bands that do not sound american at all ... just seems the listner listens to american music, and music with an american touch.

Ever wondered why country music sounds so Irish (and no, you probably would not know what I am talking about unless you are a die hard Country fan who knows his history or you have been to a pub in ireland).

Ok, carry on and ignore this post.

WTF - you must stop taking those mind altering drugs before you post Pill

Curiously enough. Some of the best bands I have heard, dare I admit it, are from New Zealand. The Kiwis put out some great muso's. They seem to lose their accent to until they start talking again and its fush this and fush that.

I guess I dunno what Im talkin about when it comes to this thread. The only british band I know is the Beatles. And Even then I dont listen to them. But then again, I dont think Iv ever even met a single British/Australian person in my life.

There does not seem to be many of em In California, Or Minnesota. So I cant say iv ever heard any of em sing.

Us young foke under the age of 30 dont really care too much for the Beatles anyway.

I saw the Canadian SkyHawks lastyear and they sung their National Anthem. I had to laugh. O Canada OOOOOOOOOOOOOO Canada.

Alot better anthem then our friends to the south though, cause I dont speak spanish.

Radiohead, Coldplay, and to some extent - Oasis - do get quite a bit of airtime over in the states and they all have a distinctly "English" feel to them.

As for Pillbox's comments about the Irishness - I agree!

American accent means a liklier chance to be accepted by American audiences. I mean it works in Films/Movies as well. Christian Bale (Batman Begins, American Psycho) is a Welsh actor, but in all his movies to date (big ones at least) he's sported the American accent.

Simon Pegg - british comedian/writer/actor in his latest movie, with David Schwimmer has an American accent (although he didn't in Mission Impossible 3).

Sean Bean in Silent Hill - had to do an American accent, lot of American fans of the games series.

Not that I actually like these bands but I know of them: Lost Prophets - Welsh band, but you wouldn't know if you listened to them sing and not talk. Bullet for my Valentine - Welsh band, but again you wouldn't know it if you heard them sing. Funeral for a Friend - welsh band, but you don't realise until they talk. It's all commerical.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

nothin wrong with this song
