Matty_poo Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 why is it that an artist can be famous everywhere but the us and to us, they aren't famous, and also it seems that it is incredibly difficult for foreign bands who speak a different language to break out in the states. At the moment, I'm listning to this band from china, I don't understand a single word in chinese but I'd still buy the album because it's good, and yet theres no reason it'd be released here.

Fire At Will Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 In my opinion Europe has the best music North America I think is more about the looks and the potential to sell then europe is although they do have their fair share of pop acts...the best bands in north america are the ones that no one knows about.In Canada, I don't know about the US seeing as I've never lived there, we're very supportive of our artists up and commers with goverment funded programs and websites http://www.newmusiccanada.com/ such as this one 100% pure canadian indie (CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!!!) anyways i think if you're not north american its hard to get into the market due to it being such an advanced, popculturey place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty_poo Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 well there are programs that support music in public schools but it seems as if the record industry for the major part is ignoring alot of musical acts like that for lone singers and rappers, and i know it's hard and i'm probably alone, but i'd love to see acts from other countries poping up on our music channels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrowncoat Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 The Subways and the Arctic Monkeys(who are bigger the huge there) | | | | | \/ Both are great bands - no doubt about that. "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" is the best single I've heard so far this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty_poo Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 yes but would you say beatles worthy? I've been hearing that about them, and i mean i like what I've heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrowncoat Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 yes but would you say beatles worthy? I've been hearing that about them, and i mean i like what I've heard No way. Not yet...let them put out about 10 more great albums and then maybe they'll be Beatles worthy They said the same things about Oasis back when Definitely Maybe came out...and while Oasis put out some great albums, they didn't quite get to Beatles level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty_poo Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 haha well yes thats what I'm saying, whether or not they'll reach eventually, no one can be expected to reach it with one or two albums. and yeah i remember oasis haha. anyway lets hope there isn't a new yoko ono out there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
