All off the top of my head (better said: off my CD rack, that's standing right behind me). I could name some dozens more but I don't want to bore you to death.

If we treat 20th century's music as an overall world competition, there's only one thing on this planet that was better than music from UK & Ireland (imo): Black American Music (until late 70s/early 80s).

how about the allman bros santana lynyrd skynyrd all good usa bands imo.

 

A truly great Musical Heritage, wouldn't mind knowing how good music is in other countries though, I know Finland loves Rock and Metal.
