uk music vs usa music

Oh and anyone who thinks Robbie Williams is worthy of anything but death, need to re-evaluate their view of what constitutes talent.

The man has to be the absolute worst abomination there is.

No, not really. Because some of today's American bands have been better than those bands.

Don't equate nationality and antiquity with talent. Led Zeppelin aren't one of the best ever because they are old and British, it's because they're kick ass musicians. They're no Faith No More.

Not really sure bout this one its quite hard, i think in the past uk has produced the best music but now usa have taken over.

UK: Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Sex Pistols
The Cure
The Clash
Radiohead
THe Beatles
Queen
Ash (not as old lol but still quite good)
Muse

im not gonna say U2 cos they are the most overated piece of crap of all time thats my view sorry to anyone who doesnt think so i feel sorry for you lol

USA: Jimi Hendrix (hello the legend)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nirvana
Green Day
White Stripes
The Ramones!!!!!!!!!!
Queens of the stone age
Foo Fighters
Pantera
Offspring
Rage against the Machine
Blink 182 (i dont really like em that much)
to be honest i could go on all day but this is all i could think of for now in my opinion USA have much better bands and there are more good bands but you cant ignore the fact that UK has produced the best music who have inspired the USA bands like Nirvana, Green Day etc
MAke up your own mind.

I say as of now,the usa has better music.Imo,the new british stuff is just terrible.
As for punk,i prefere the ramones over the sex pistols any day

Im a yank and I like UK music way better than the music in USA -

cant stand some of the crap that comes out in america

Why is this even being compared?
Theoretically the US should churn out some better music, they have more people, hence more musicians..

i agree
most my fav bands are british though

they could... but I have yet to hear anything that really captivates me...like Brit music

That isn't to say British bands make better music.

most british music sounds to boring.Even the more rockin stuff is kind of light when it comes to more mainstream music

Personally I listen to more American music than British music.. but a couple decades ago it would've been Britain by a landslide.

yeah,i think the same way

I prefer UK music simply because there aren't as many emo and rap artists. I like UK's style more...

For every shit US Emo band there's a shit UK Indie band.

-AC

true.

Actually the fact that America has rap sorta pushes America a little ahead of England in my book... haven't heard much good UK hip hop to be honest.

rap sucks... (sometimes...no most of the time)

Eh.. I don't feel like arguing about rap music right now.

why? are you going to say you like it?

Of course I like it. Why else would I say that I think America having rap music is a plus?
