How lucky for you! Sting's another diva!

I forgot about England's Pink Floyd, T. Rex, King Crimson ( who all helped me get through the drudgery known as high school.) Led Zeppelin too.

Manchestah... and Glasgow. 'nuff said.

Tho'I have to say Oxford and Cambridge have thrown their weight around too. Always seem to be loads of bands from those two
