The best non UK or USA musical act

[Tyrone Biggums]

AC/DC?

Angus Young - born Glasgow
Malcolm Young - born Glasgow
Cliff Williams - born Romford
Brian Johnson - born Gateshead
Phil Rudd - born Melbourne

So does one Australian make them an Aussie band?

Andrew Strauss, Matt Prior, Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott, etc weren't born in England, does that mean the English cricket team isn't English?

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

From Australia


From Finland


&

From Sweden


From France
