Hmmm best and most influential bands of all time? Beatles, Led Zep, Queen, Stones, Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols? Britain gets my vote.

Britain's best beats America's best imo.

America.

-AC

britland

America

Can we stop voting for the country we live in and vote objectively to whoever we genuinely believe has made the better contribution?

-AC

i am voting honestly
my fav bands are british

if the question was..who makes the best movies
then i wud say america

my favourite bands are from America mostly...so America

Actually my favourite band is from Australia - AC/DC.

norway does have pretty awesome bands though

Well this one is a tie between Sweden and America, just about every Hard rock band I hear htat comes from Seden knows what they are doing, all sing good, all make good melodies, all play AMAZING, they also write pretty good, some of the American hard Rock bands are not that good, but those that are are indeed VERY good, we have Bon Jovi, Roses, Skid Row, and many many more!

I was goin to chose britain but it wasn't on any of the votes so I chose america, there the next best

Britain and America and Africa

America probably just has the advantage, as most of the best british bands, particularly the ones whisper mentioned are all influenced by american music, the beatles influenced by rock n roll, the sex pistols ninspired by the Ramones and the New York Dolls scene.

But if you go deeper, every race in america apart from native americans are immigrants, from all over the world, and alot of the gospel music which inspired the blues, then rock nroll and in turn the beatles , was influenced by the music from these countries, particularly celtic music, ( Scotland and ireland). Slaves and there celtic "employers" would sing in church together and the structure of gaelic rounds, (or rounding off )are very similar to those found in gospel music so i think gospel music and working songs were influenced by gaellic singing , structures and rythms. Then adapted and changed into something new and in my opion more powerful.

America/Britan/Norway

Norway only ever gave us A-ha and death/black metal, hahahah

A combination of the lot.

None of those are candidate for being the best ever, IMO. Besides Led Zeppelin, Queen maybe.

America followed very closely by England.

I have to say Norway, Sweden and this is properly because I live there but Britain (excluding the f**king Beatles they are just s**t)

Britain got my vote.

Italy was the most influential. Over the years.

ENGLISH MUSIC IS THE BEST

The Smiths, The Cure and Morrisey. The end. The British overrule.

The Smiths and Morrisey? That overrules very little.

Going on my personal preference, most of my favorite bands are American (more Canadians and Scandinavians than Brits), plus the fact that there have only been about 5 really good British bands in the last 10 years, America for me, definitely.
