Then when I was older I got into stuff like Madness and The Jam (you can see their stuff on youtube) now I like all kinds of stuff but mainly Feeder, Greenday, Blink 182 and the like.

In Los Angeles, uniquely amongst American cities, there is a HUGE following for UK 80's bands mostly because of one radio station. Love 'One Step Beyond' and the single Madness released last year about the kid telling about his parents. Loved the Jam but what the hell was Paul Weller thinking about???
UK bands that can sell out the Staples Center: Depeche Mode, the Cure; Bush
