British 16 = 32%
American 31 = 62%
Australian 1 = 2%
Canadian 1 = 2%
Irish 1 = 2%

Jimi Hendrix may have been American but the Jimi Hendrix Experience was definitely British.

good topic btw

At this point the US lead :

1 US 56,6%
2 UK 33%
3 AUS 3,4%
4 CAN 2,2%
4 IRL 2,2%
6 ICE 1%
7 GER 0,8%
7 FRA 0,8%
9 SWE 0,2%
9 GRC 0,2%
9 JPN 0,2%
ind/mix 0,4%

funny to see that the USA makes more than a half of the "best albums" and that the US+UK account for 90% !!!

I would definitely say Hendrix is American, even if his band is English. If I had Bob Dylan Royal Albert Hall in my chart, I wouldn't classify it as Canadian (because of The Band).

I didn't know albums had nationalities. Silly me I thought it was the musicians on an album or the bands original location that determined nationality. So an album recorded in the USA by a UK artist would be what nationality?

52% American
42% English
2% Irish
2% various artists
2% mixed nationality

Oddly enough, despite the heaviest concentration of artists in my top 50 is American, the concentration of the English artists is heaviest in the top 20 and top 10.

Hmmmm, just gazed at my chart, and wondered, what about Fleetwood Mac? at the time of Rumours they were 3 English 2 American, although from a creative point of view this album is mainly American driven.

And More over, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, although Jimi was American the rest of the band was English, and only gained success through being in England, so how do I classify these two bands?

Whereas some bands are particular to a country or region's sound- Seattle bands, Britpop, New York or London Punk etc. Others may defy placement through mixed nationality or influence or sound, even if you knew the nationality of every band member in every band?

Let's see how predictable this one will be:

English:30%
American:54%
Irish:6%
Canadian:2%
Swedish:2%
Australian:2%
Greek:2%
Japanese:2%

Very VERY slightly more diverse than I was expecting.
