Guest y2jailbait Report post Posted May 14, 2003 British rock groups make some of the music that sets the standards of originality and consistency that American groups would sell their mothers for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted May 14, 2003 Regardless (all-time OR current), I'm picking US. Why? Well, to quote Steve-O (Matthew Lillard) from SLC Punk... The truth is that we [America] did it harder, did it faster, and did it with more emotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted May 14, 2003 I think it's really varies over time, and depends on what genres you're looking at. As far as rock music is concerned, England gave us The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, and Black Sabbath, who collectively influenced pretty much every rock band to come after them. Not to say America was without it's bright points, because we had pretty much every blues picker under the sun, without whom rock music wouldn't exist. Â With metal, I'd give the award to the US in a heartbeat. The NWOBHM (save Motorhead) can lick balls as far as I'm concerned. This is where Corey's quote really applies.

Guest The Hamburglar Report post Posted May 14, 2003 Britain has all the warp music as well. Shitloads of greatness. And as for Oasis, hey, their first two albums were great. Their descent into pure shittyness has been hilarious to watch, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nl5xsk1 Report post Posted May 14, 2003 I didn't vote but will give my opinion ... For me it's cyclical but right now I'm more into the UK music. The UK bands seem to create a new sound that is then modified (improved?) by the US. Â When I was younger I was wicked into punk and hardcore, and even though I think that both of those sounds originated in the UK, they were improved upon by US bands. Same with metal.

B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2003 Well, England gave me The Clash, Pink Floyd, and David Bowie. Â America gave me the Blues, KISS, TOOL,Metallica, Chris Cornell, and Mike Patton. Â Canada gave me Devin Townsend and Rush. Â Boy, that's a toughie. But, since The Clash and the Floyd are my two favorite groups of all-time, I gotsta go with England.

Just don't be ignorant.  It's okay not to like something. But if your lashing out at music that is good just because your not in favor of the band then your being ridiculous.  Definitely Maybe & Morning Glory are the albums in question, two surperb efforts with the latter being the highest selling album of all time within the United Kingdom.  M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest starvenger Report post Posted May 15, 2003 I'll say British, but give me Hoser Rock (or CanPop) any day of the week and I'll be happy.
