Sorry Mark, I know very little about popular music, English or American. However I know that an awful lot of pop music is influenced by classical music.

I'm not going to be drawn! - explain!
Gosh! You only spent twenty-one minutes thinking about it and you've given up.
Keith Saunders wouldn't be where he is today if he gave up that easily!
Be drawn.

Well the Killers are actually more influenced by New Order (even named the band after the New Order spoof group in one of their video's, 'Regret' I think), instrumentation, structure, etc...but I get your point about influence. But to say Britain produces the most influential music in the world is going too far I believe. Hip-hop, RnB and all the levels between rather dominate the world charts; its possible to believe that in sales success alone, Madlib (producer), JayZ, DangerMouse (producer) and Timberland (producer and artist) have had more influence on shaping sound than the last 10 years of British output.
Not really sure if American v English music is something you can discuss as such? That's like comparing Indian food to Chinese, just two very different but very good styles of food/music.
Interesting thoughts Chris😝
