I can't stand it when (a lot of the time, not always...) British musicians have incredibly big and noticable accents... just as I can't stand hearing Texans singing country or Newfoundlandians singing fucking anything.
But I love a good screamer/shouter. I even like some metal growling and pig-squeals.
Oh, and fuck fake accents, too.

The use of a generic American accent is highly common in Hollywood cinema to make films easier to market to a worldwide audience. Unless a film is particularly based with in a subset of languages (ie New York most Scorcese flicks, Southern American such as A Street Car Named desire, Californian) the generic accent is used.
On side note when Aussies first started making Hip Hop it was always in an American accent but now Aussie hip hop artists have found their own voice and if anyone does this they are slain by all the other acts.
