Britpop was an amazing thing to happen and we won't see it's like again for many years. Some of the best music of the last 30 years came out of Britpop and I'm not just talking about Oasis or Blur, Bands like Pulp and Stereophonics helped create guitar driven music that America couldn't compete with in the early nineties.

No doubt, historically the UK has produced a lot better popular musicians than the US.
The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Sabbath
but the US can hold it's own
Beach Boys
Bob Dylan
Bruce Springsteen
as for currently, there is very little that is popular on either side of the pond; when talentless hacks like The Darkness (who are just copying things done 20 years ago) can become popular...it's a sad state of affairs.
As for the Sex Pistols, they are criminally overrated constantly. They were a mediocre (at best) punk band; UK punk had become somewhat of an accepted institution in the UK (much the same way, say, gangsta rap would be now--younger people don't really care, but the parents are deadset against it). After the punk thing faded away in the UK, THEN the US' best punk music came; Anti Flag, X, The Germs, the whole LA scene, the DC scene (I recognize that bands such as MC5, The Stooges, and The Ramones predated or were peers with most British Punk, but I am making a generalized statement that the 80s punk--aka hardcore--was the US' best and most important contribution to punk music).
Overall rock and roll, i'd have to give the edge to the UK; Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath started (for better or worse) heavy metal. The whole blues-rock thing was mostly made in the UK (Zeppelin, Cream, etc), which is surprising, as blues was a more popular music form in the United States at the time.
Pop-rock (which the Beatles dominated) was again to the UK. Despite the best efforts of bands such as the BEach Boys (Pet Sounds is undoubtedly on par with Sgt Peppers, Revolver--any Beatles album), the Beatles just had MORE great songs than anyone else.
OK, I'm tired of typing and am going to breakfast

US:
Iced Earth (Matt Barlow on vocals).
Pantera.
Testament.
Guns N Roses.
Megadeth (old school style).
Morbid Angel.
cr*pallica (they hold Iron Maiden as an influence amoungst other "UK" bands).
UK:
Iron Maiden.
Dragonforce.
Judas Priest.
Black Sabbath.
Cradle Of Filth.
Motorhead.
The UK, no doubt there, the us bands draw influences from most of the uk bands out there (the big named one`s, maiden, sabbath, priest, motorhead etc), they add the influences from them to their own sounds but in the end where do the influences come from ?...The UK (now dont get me wrong i know not every influential band comes from the uk, but a hell of al ot of them do, be it Metal or the commercial nonsense, as some have alread stated earlier here).

without the 'commercial nonsense' metal as we hear it today would not be the same as it is; The Beatles influenced Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Got to go for the UK. Without The Beatles, i dont want to even think about that, but i think things would be f*cked. Well, even more so than they are now.
Maybe I'm slightly biased but i'm definitely not being patriotic, far from it.

Well, I was trying to think of great popular bands from either the US or the UK, but couldn't come up with any off the top of my head.
There are a lot of mediocre-->good bands, but none right now that are truly GREAT. Even those that are great and are still around are no longer making great music (Pearl Jam, Weezer, The Pixies)

In the past, I would have said UK without a doubt. Zeppelin, Sabbath, The Who, The Jam, AC DC, The Clash, Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols...you can't beat that.
However I think over the last 10 years the US has gone way ahead. There are still a few great British bands (Muse, Lostprophets, Radiohead etc.) but there are many more great American bands out there right now. Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails and Metallica to name but a few.
Conclusion: if this thread had been started 30 years ago, UK would win easy, but the 90's/00's have been dominated by the US.
