There is a newish cd being trailered on the nation's fireplace that looks quite good. It's called 'American Anthems', and the advert involves a car speeding off down route 66, no doubt with a 'trunk' full of burgers and CSI spinoffs, whilst a gravel-voiced voiceover voices the words "this is the sound of America" with his voice.
Oh, and English band 'Whitesnake' (featuring David 'definitely from the North of England' Coverdale) play 'Is This Love?' in the background. Another classic American (definitely English) artist listed is Billy Idol (from Middlesex). He went to school in the same town as my Dad, in the American city of Newhaven, Sussex.
Foreigner (formed by Englishman Mick Jones and ex- King Crimson member Ian McDonald from Dorset) are also present. The Beach Boys; Bruce Springsteen; The Doobie Brothers; Van Halen; Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; Kiss; Guns 'n' Roses and New York Dolls are not, however I'm sure this will be rectified with the release of 'English Anthems' at Christmas.
