he was born there, but im pretty sure he lived in the USA since he was a little kid... anyways, the talking heads, are always described as an american band...

Maybe somebody should spend a little more time listening to American music..just a thought.

The National are the best and only relevant band to come out of America since The Pixies. They are so good they should be British :-)

are you kidding me? yes more bands that are "relevant" since the pixies have been british, but we have some pretty dam good ones including: modest mouse and tv on the radio to name a couple but truthfully, we have the best "indie" bands on this side of the ocean... plus we gave you the talking heads, who are great enough to make up for every single bad band since, seeing as 90% of the new bands are talking head rip-offs....

ahahah completely agree. not to mention the Ramones, Spoon, The White Stripes, and countless other influential and excellent bands that have come from the US in the past 4 decades.

boo booo white stripes... lets think outside the circle a little like Jolie holand and RL Burnside.. they are inspirational... saw jolie holand in the most intimate gig you could imagine at Manchester Lane in Oz... Love the National... heard their music in a dark dingy black bar in London.. they are more than UK music... sort of reminds me of the canadian masterpeice lovely Do Make Say Think. Instrumental can be so much more moving than lyrics sometimes....
