Why do you think England produces way better bands than America?

[mommas homeboy]

Don't get me wrong, there are some great American bands, but they are dwarfed by the sheer number of great English bands. Why do you think that is?

I understand that, but that is just your opinion too.
I don't believe an answer of "they don't", is significant enough to discredit he post. It is all subjective though
