There are a lot of sounds that the human voice is capable of at birth. All of us learn to drop the ones not used in our own language to the point we don't even hear it properly.
Since the the german 'ch' sound doesn't exist in most english dialects, people have trouble saying it, or even telling if they've said it correctly.

Because they are used to drawing out their 'a's, as in the word 'are'. The 'a' in 'Bach' is halfway between 'are' and 'at' so it's difficult for an English speaker to get it exactly right. Mind you, there's no excuse for getting the 'ch' wrong.

Probably the same reason they say lock instead of loch,big difference. But if you listen to most actors on the telly, a lot can't pronounce their words properly.

I always thought it was pronounced "Bock".
