Ashamed of your country?

Just an idea from another thread. This is a pretty international forum, so I wondered what artiste really makes you wish you were born somewhere else. Have a think (and try to stick to globally knowns). For every great country, there's a John Mellenkamp.
Me? I had a bad time when a friend in Chicago said "Wow! You're from the same country as Phil Collins! Isn't that great?" Er,...
Blimey Lee, you're quite serious about defending Morten and Co, aren't you? His "The Sun Always Shines from my Cheeks" isn't such a great song; no more than Pet Shop Boys "It's a Sin", but I will admit (apologize if you absolutely insist :P ) that A-Ha were no worse than, say, Duran Duran in output terms. And "Durren Durren" (copyright, Tony Blackburn, 1981) did a couple of OKs.
Both did "Bond Themes", even, but The Living Daylights isn't all that great either. I'll claw back my A-Ha sneer on the basis of "The Blood that Moves the Body", and Bunty - 'cause she was fit.
My god!!! you now have the Gaul to start on the magnificent Duran Duran!! where on earth is it going to stop?? i suppose next you will be calling for all David Cassidy CD's to be burnt! i realy dont know how you sleep at night Bass... :lol:
Asterix is my middle name. OK Lee, I'll grovel if you can spell Warren Cuccurulo (?) without looking it up on the 'net :P
BTW, any of our Romainian chums looking in? We really could do with a "I apologize for The Cheeky Girls" post :)
