There are bands I have heard very little from because their material isn't very widely available in the UK, and their are probably bands you've never heard of because their material isn't very widely available in the USA. I'd like to know which bands I should be checking out from over there, and then I'll try and think of some that I don't think are well known in the USA.
I'm also interested in which "classic" bands did/didn't make it in the USA.
From what I've read, T-Rex wern't as popular in the USA as they were in the UK. In the UK, there are several adverts that pop up every year with "Children of t he Revolution" or "Metal Guru" or something on it. Same with Slade.
