One more thing: British music is so far ahead of American music technologically it's rediculous. This started with the production superiority of the Beatles.

Other biggies have been Acid House, which is where house really became a distinct music rather than just sped disco; Time-stretching was probably the biggest advancement since insturments were invented, yet you never hear the results of it (e.g., jungle) over here; Garage has some of the most advanced music on the planet, but what do hear here? Watered down crap from Daniel Beddingfield who isn't even a garage artist, but just put out a few songs in the genre.

There real question in my mind is how on earth the record industry is still making money. I just don't get it. I suppose they'll always make money with the current system as long as most Americans are mindless drones, but I have faith that someday most Americans will think for themselves. Then the music industry as we know it will finally collapse.
