With a single focus for the "Great musicians" to congregate, it was easier to break out from the London market.
USA had at least 3 major "focal points" - NY, LA, Chicago. (Nashville doesn't count for Rock). And if one was 'stuck' in a "B" class market, it was hard to migrate to "A" class. |

And if we want to talk metal, how about Lamb of God, Slayer, Mastodon, Pantera, Fear Factory, Mudvayne, Nevermore, and Shadows Fall? They certainly didn't come out of Finland.

JUST MY OPINION. There were some great bands from here . But the english bands of those days really took the music and ran with it.

What about Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Angel Witch, Diamond Head, Judas Priest, Tygers of Pan Tang, Sabbat, Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death, Carcass, Motorhead and Skyclad? They didn't come out of Finland or America.
Anyway, I don't think anyone wants this thread to turn into a "MY COUNTRY HAS BETTER MUSIC THAT YOURS SO HAH" affair.

You missed a few Like Eric Burdon who was one of the most influential of all. And was also greatly influenced by American Blues .Rock IMO came from directly from the blues of the southern USA .and the Enlish Bands got way into it .

All great modern american metal bands, I really love ETID, nobody can cop their style, dont even know if you can really call it metal even. Mastodon is just amazing, and I know Mudvayne isn't too great when it comes to metal fans but they have the best basslines in metal, their bassist is a genius.
