who are your favorite music artists??

[$TheBest$]

do people in the UK like the same music as people in the U.S.??

[andy-hughes]

Because the U.S. is such a massive area, there are large numbers of artists who make very successful careers who are utterly unknown in the UK.

The UK however, is far more successful at exporting its artists, although again, the cross-over does not always occur.

Bands like Oasis have never made it big in the U.S, but some UK bands are huge in ther US, and virtually unreported here.

So the short answer is 'yes' - but it's not quite that simple.
