There’s a lot of musicians who are huge in Europe, but not in the US. Robbie Williams, Anastacia, most of Eurodance,… What musicians are the other way round?

Jimmy Buffett
I grew up in the UK in the 80s & 90s, which seems to be the period he was really becoming huge in the US, and I had never heard of him until he died a couple of years ago.
The UK is Europe…
Not according to them
literally only know his name because of south park
You aren’t missing anything. He made a bunch of really idiotic music.
His books are worth reading.
Correct. Never heard of him. Sounds like a fat man at a wedding.
Same with Willie Nelson.
Know the name, know roughly what he looks like through parodies, no idea about his music
“You Are Always On My Mind” is worth a listen.
Isn’t that Elvis?
Elvis covered it. I just found out Nelson never wrote it. Saw Willie Nelson 15 years ago with John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan. Willie and John were great.

Wow, TIL! Thanks for this, I was so sure you were mistaken
He’s also a good novelist. I dislike his music. I dislike many of his fans as they tend to be the kinds of people who love the Grateful Dead and Reagan at the same time. His books are good.
