Sorry for butting in again, but I find this topic very interesting, particularly the way USA members view the UK scene.

Some years ago , my local pub had a quiz, with a picture round where you had the guess the celebrities.
A picture of DRATS..DR, FB,MW was included. All three were required for a point score.
In a crowd of about 100 [[average age 50 or so) I was the only person with the right answer. No surprise there, but most got DR, naturally.
Amongst the other Supremes names offered up were...Tammi Terrell, Kim Weston [[not bad), Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner.....or none at all in many cases. Yet many of these people would, if asked, say "I like Motown".
