Do you think some musicians are held in higher regard than others due to their nationality?
Thanks!

In their respective nations, sure. Billy Thorpe comes to mind. Children of the Sun was a fair hit worldwide, but the man himself was a big hit in Australia, his home nation. And don't get even get me started on those wacky German bands. ><

"Welcome to the End" is my first album by this band, and it caught my interest because it is: 1.) from Germany, and 2.) on Massacre Records. Those two traits are usually indicators of quality, and that's certainly the case here! |

Yes i do
It does seem like any artist from an English speaking country is held in higer regards than artist from countries where people do not speak English as a first language.

I generally prefer British rockers to American. If I thought someone was one and turned out to be the other, it might give them a tiny bit more or less cachet in my eyes.

Yes i do It does seem like any artist from an English speaking country is held in higer regards than artist from countries where people do not speak English as a first language. I think sometimes the opposite is also true. Fans from English speaking countries sometimes attach a mystique/exotic-ness/novelty to bands/artists from non-English speaking countries |

Fans from English speaking countries sometimes attach a mystique/exotic-ness/novelty to bands/artists from non-English speaking countries How many of us have favorites from China? Japan? India? Other than Catman. I can never get anyone into West African Soukous music. World Music is sometimes seen as a joke, whether in English, native language, or instrumental. I think part of the hatred for Yoko is because they don't like her Japanese accent on some songs where she isn't going for the screams, etc. Sure she wouldn't be known without John, but people won't even listen to her songs on Double Fantasy with John's backing (harmony and background vocals, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, keyboards, synthesiser) |
