In Jojo's bizarre adventure the outro is always some western music.
example: Yes - Roundabout, The bangles - Walk like an egyptian, and so on.
Are there any other shows with western pop music.
Give me all of your examples.

Mushishi's opening, The sore feet song by Ally Kerr.

Ergo Proxy's outro is Paranoid Android by Radiohead. Also the opening is from a japanese band but the guy sing such good english I thought to this day it was an american band.

hanada shonen shi op (backstreet boys)
Eden of the east op (oasis)
Speed Grapher (Duran Duran)

Of course, there were the jazz tracks used in Sakamichi no Apollon and classical music tracks used in various anime like Nodame Cantabile.

Catman uses a shitton of tracks from The Planet Smashers, a canadian ska band.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNl1ZtYV9Ng

Then there is the Mushishi S2 OP by Lucy Rose, who is from Warwichshire. Doesn't get more british than that, and doesn't get more western that british :>.
The S1 OP is by Ally Kerr, from Scotland as well.

Then there is this Franz Ferdinand ED in Paradise Kiss, also from Scotland:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy2olBDQYJc

The Wolf's Rain OP is by Steve Conte, an american. Pretty sure he also worked on the soundtrack of Bebop and others, but this is his only anime OP I think.

Then there is this gloriously misplaced Backstreet Boys Opening in Hanada Shounen-shi:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKAmF4H2yoo

The Gunslinger Girl OP is by The Delgados, another britisch/scottish band.

Monster has an ED by David Sylvain (british).

GITS: Sac has OP by Origa (russian) and ED by Scott Matthew (australian).

Texhnolyze has an OP by Juno Reactor, an electronic music band from England.

The Hellsing (TV) ED is by Mr. Big, an american band.

Gankutsuou has a western OP and ED by Jean-Jacques Burnel, a french-british musician.

Then there is Higashi no Eden which uses Falling Down by Oasis as its OP.

Ergo Proxy ED is by Radiohead.

One Piece Film Z apparently has an Avril Lavigne ED:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=8oQq7gXUFa4

After War Gundam has an ED by Warren Wiebe.

And then there is of course the iconic Interstella5555 which is basically a long music video for a whole Daft Punk album, if you count that.



That's all I can remember for now, tho I'm sure there's more.

Fuck me, I just remembered I bookmarked this a few years back:

https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/5twi30/english_op_and_ed_list_radiohead_backstreet_boys/

although that is only about english-language OPs and EDs, which also includes a lot of japanese bands singing in english. But you can scroll through the list and see what I missed in terms of actual western bands yourself.

Serial Experiments Lain uses a song by Boa (British)
Ergo Proxy's ED is Paranoid Android by Radiohead (British)
The Op from Koe no Katachi is My Generation from The Who (British)
Neon Genesis Evangelion uses various covers of Frank Sinatra's Fly Me To The Moon (American) as its ED
There's lots of use of classical music in anime too. Stuff like:
Claude Debussy (French)
Ludwig Van Beethoven (German)
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Russian)
Frederic Chopin (Polish and French)
Johann Sebastian Bach (German)
Antonin Dvorak (Czech)
