:confused: Huh? (Surely they'd be called The Garda if they were Irish? :lol: )
 
:lol: True true. :D
 
My absolute favorite musicians:

The Beatles(UK)
Oasis(UK)
The Blue Hearts(Japan)
Paul McCartney(UK)

If I list my top 100 or something, it would be almost all British bands. I don't know what it is. Jack Johnson(USA) should make my top list in the near future(then again, the upcoming album sounds bit sucky so far...).
 
No American metal/rock?

I do like many American artists, but not quite enough to be very top on my list. Like I said, Jack Johnson(though not really a rock) is very close. I also like bands like Cake, The Killers, Modest Mouse, Steve Miller Band, etc.
 
My favourite bands change constantly. But usually they hail from the Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Finland, or the USA.
