Default Why do the British have better taste in music?

Inevitably bands I like do better in Britain than in the USA. Why is this?

Because Americans in general prefer crappy music rather than good music. Think about all those awful hair bands in the 80s. The fans of that garbage now have kids who listen to today's garbage.

Mike, fly to Europe and within a few minutes of listening to the radio there you'll retract your statement.

I thought they were more popular here than in England, but I wouldn't be surprised if I am wrong.

Oh, yeah. They were huge in England. For some reason.

I can think of ten reasons.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
