I think Sham 69 had more in common with Mungo Jerry than The Clash, really. 4/10
Not bad for a boy born in Batley and raised in Scarborough.

It was okay. Not my thing, generally. 5/10. Seriously though, Mark, do you listen to anything not British?
I saw them last night. They were AMAZING.
Sure. Though just about every aspect of Sneakin' Sally is thoroughly American, with the tiny exception that the singer wasn't born there. And the one I posted before that was completely American. As was the one before that. In fact, looking back over the last ten or twelve songs I've posted, about half are American artists. So I may have missed the point of the question.
As to Dillinger, quite nice, then a bit wet, then horrible, then alright, then horrible again. 4/10
Here's someone not British, singing a cheerful little ditty that was banned from karaoke machines in case it encouraged depressed people to perform codified 'goodbye-cruel-worlds' in front of everyone at the pub before going home to take a bath with a three-bar heater.

More like I didn't listen to those songs, and made a mistake which resulted in a churlish question that was attempting to make a point that didn't exist.
I liked it. I always like cheery sounding tunes paired with depressing lyrics, for some reason. 7/10.Here's someone not British, singing a cheerful little ditty that was banned from karaoke machines in case it encouraged depressed people to perform codified 'goodbye-cruel-worlds' in front of everyone at the pub before going home to take a bath with a three-bar heater.
Deftones were the headlining band Tuesday night, and the played this song with Greg Puciato from DEP filling in for Maynard. It was awesome.
Parts of that are enjoyable 4/10.
Now, just to F with people, here's a Korean boy band, I just can't get why they don't stick with like 4-5 members, at a certain point you'd think someone at the record company would draw a line.

I'm proud of myself, because I actually listened to that whole thing. I also made several observations. First, up until now I thought American boy-band members were the most effeminate looking men on the planet. There also seem to be some international rules when it comes to boy bands: each group must have a rap interlude, each group must have a chubby and/or unattractive member, and they gots ta dance, dance, dance! Oh, and the women they hang out with are exceedingly stupid, so much so that they can't tie their own shoes and are entertained by balloon foolery. 2/10 since I can't understand the surely horrible lyrics.
I need a palate cleanser!
Well the song is aptly named, I suppose. 2/10
Let's try out a girl group now!

They're better than the Spice Girls at least.
They are prettier too! 3/10

That song bothers me, Pip. I find those girls very attractive, but they could be 12, which is troubling. Darn Asians.
Discotheque mid-seventies 7/10 (She paints pictures nowadays)
This is a little bit of strange

Odd and rather wonderful, though you do have to be in the mood. 8/10
The music was by Neil Ardley, who was once mentor to subsequently-married couple Jon Hiseman (drums) and Barbara Thompson (sax), currently of Paraphanalia and, as it happens, my neighbours.

That was totally good 9/10
Here's a golden oldie - could have been a better sound recording but you'd miss the video - think I'll work on that tomorrow

I like it well enough, 8/10

For Muta, an Asian girl group composed of women who definitely can't pass for 12.

No, they don't look 12, that's for sure. I didn't necessarily enjoy it, but it's just so freakin' bizzarre I kind of like it. 6/10
Not a type of song I'd usually like, but I just can't help but enjoy this one. It makes me smile. Vocals kind of remind me of Steely Dan in sections. I also enjoyed the movie.
Unexpectedly enjoyable in a frothy strawberry kinda way. 7/10
As you mentioned them.....
