In reply to Top! Top! sounds more British

Bwak thought Bill Idol too. It reminded me more of the Ramones and "I wanna be sedated."

Top! Top! sounds more British

Top! Top! sounds more British than American-influenced to my ear. Pull the Trigger sounds like American college-boy stuff. Monkey Business sounds like Asian Pop. Airfare's lead singer sounds like a cross between Billy Idol and Bono.

I might as well add a few

I might as well add a few more - a few tracks that I like and/or that have interesting videos; by no means representative.

Daniela by Lucie

Markytánka by Lucie Vondráčková

Trouba by Lucie Bílá

(these three Lucies have little in common apart from the name)

Vltava by Daniel Landa

Kdo se bojí nesmí do nebe by Wanastowi Vjecy

Malování by Divokej Bill

Hříšná těla, křídla motýlí by Aneta Langerová

Nad stádem koní by Buty

Zločin by Čechomor

Léto by Hradišťan

The first few tracks are more or less pop music. The last three are folk music or derivatives.

Orlando, thank you very much

Orlando, thank you very much for doing this musical tour...I'm listening to and enjoying things I never would have tried without your suggestions.

On this stop my favorites are Sunshine (and I listened to more than just what you linked to) Lucie, and Toxique. I particularly like the ones that are not in English...I think you are right, the words can get in the way of the music if you understand them!

I'll be looking forward to your next stop!
