Hoosker Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The Brits make the best rock music. Hands down. Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin The Beatles The Rolling Stones The Who Black Sabbath Queen Iron Maiden The Clash Cream Elton John David Bowie I could go on, but seriously, does anything compare to the rock music that the boys from across the pond put out in the 60s-70s? 2 Quote Link to comment

The blues based brit bands really wish they could have been poor southern boys, like Skynard and the Allmans... Not to mention you're forgetting four important British bands, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Cream, and the Yardbirds... Thats a nice list, but doesn't compare to what we have here at home (in no particular order) Muddy Waters John Lee Hooker Chuck Berry The Eagles CCR Van Halen Stevie Ray Vaughn Metallica The Ramones ZZ Top Allman Brothers Lynard Skynard 2 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Imagine how dreary the music scene would be if you removed American and British artists from the world. Between the two countries we have the best music, without question. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUinID Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Most of my favorite band come from GB. That is not to say that I don't like any bands from America. It just happens to work out that way. I really like blues based rock and roll, and a lot of the British bands went more in that direction. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 my two favorite musicians are The Black Keys and Jack White. They come from the countries of Ohio and Michigan respectively. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 All of mine are American. I dont like any Britsh sillynanies. Quote Link to comment

I really like blues based rock and roll, and a lot of the British bands went more in that direction. I disagree. One of my favorite American Bluegrass bands is "Old and in the Way". You have to dig for American bluegrass based rock but it's there and it's some pretty good stuff. FWIW Jerry Garcia was in the above mentioned band. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Is Britain a country? Not familiar with their twisted nomenclature in order to be (barely) competitive in the Olympics. Quote Link to comment

Many of the great British rock bands are very blues oriented, Led Zep, Stones, Cream, Black Sabbeth, The Who. Even the later wave of British Heavy Metal has that undertone, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Moterhead. I like a lot of American Bands also. Almond Brothers and SRV are great. I also like VH and ZZ Top a lot. Three of those 4 are blues based. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 George "muthafckin" Strait is from the USA! Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Pretty evenly split for me. About half from U.S. About half from GB. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Imagine how dreary the music scene would be if you removed American and British artists from the world. Between the two countries we have the best music, without question. We would have a steady diet of the Scorpions, A-ha and Abba. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The US and England definitely have the most and biggest influence but Australia and Canada deserve honorable mention if for no other reason than AC/DC and Rush, never mind some of the other artists from those countries. Take those 4 countries out of the equation and you've got absolutely nothing. Quote Link to comment
