- Well, it's always a personal thing i think. I like some of the US music,
- some of the UK music and some of the European music. What you mean with
- Euro-Fag music is almost clear for me but i think very little of Euro
- music comes through on the other side of the Ocean. Listen to euro-bands
- as Einsturzende Neubauten (germany), Mano Negra and Les Negresses Vertes
- (France) or TC Matic and Charles et Les Lulus (Belgium) and you will
- notice that not everyhting from Europe is Euro-Fag music as you mention
- it. But what can you expect if things that come through on the other side
- are Depeche Mode years after they did there interesting stuff and the it's
- called alternative then. I agree that the US is the place where some real
- good music has been /is made. But there also a lot of crap. I think you
- don't have a very good oversight what is done in Europe (including UK).
