Klaxons
Bloc party
Faithless
Chromeo
Fat boy slim
the libertines

Arcade fire- Canada
Pendulum- Australia
The cat empire- Australia
Justice- France
Daft punk- France
MGMT- US
The Killers- US

Chromeo is a duo from Montreal and NY. Great duo. I like your taste

what about u2 thin lizzy black sabbath deep purple

american music for me growing up was the doobie bros steely dan that kind of genre.
I liked music from both sides of the atlantic.

Deep Purple?? Black Sabbath?!? Oh my god!

Who's next? Cliff Richard? Rick Astley?

U2...well okay. I still like listening to Under a Blood Red Sky, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, & All That You Can’t Leave Behind from time to time. Hm, seems I still like them despite Bono's glasses.

With the long list I named only SOME of my most favourtie UK & Irish music artists. There are so many more I could name (e.g. Walker Brothers as a band and Scott Walker solo).

Arcade Fire mentioners in this thread get a cookie from me.

I like Heavy Metal and all I can say is GB rules....

Steely Dan are one of my most favorite (white) US bands (yes, they used to be a real band back in the days, not only Donald & Walter).
