So why the Bee Gees are considered Australian even though they are British is beyond me. Why do other countries claim British bands as their own so much? Especially Australia? As a Brit, I have to admit, I have a soft spot for Americans. I love American people in general and most of my favorite singers and bands are American, including Guns N Roses and Aerosmith and lots of others. But yeah, the Brits invented the telephone, internet, movies, TV, ect... Queen? The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? The Who? The Police? Adele? Pink Floyd? Def Leppard? Coldplay? Oasis? Radiohead? You can't get much better than that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymkx3P3lAEQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXOOwNS2qk0... Read More »
