Nobody under the age of 35 gives a shit about U2, no offense. And they use tons of electronic distortion in most of their songs now, not that I've ever listened to more than 45 seconds of a U2 song.
And, at least in 2009, Muse sold more CD's and sold out more concerts (100k+ per arena in some cases) than any other band.
What rock acts on those Billboard Manstream Rock charts are you talking about that "us Americans love"? And what influence do they have? The Black Keys took their sound directly from late 1960s blues. I wouldn't say they are influential.
Here are the following Top 10 bands for Rock Songs on the Billboard charts:
Foo Fighters, Seether, Foster the People, Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, The Black Keys, Avenged Sevenfold, Incubus.
Nobody cares about Incubus anymore, Foster the People are pure electro-rock, don't know anything aobut Seether, Death Cab is emo-folk, and Black Keys are, well, I already talked about them.
Dunno what you're talking about.
