Brits Vs Yanks

Maybe I look at it differently being from the UK

I mean the US doesn`t really have any pop culture in the way that the UK does.

I mean what was the last U.S. guitar band who were unashamedly pop?

The Beach Boys?
 
Boo Boo is clearly Delusional so i'll ask Crow and Explative, have I not listed banRAB that give us clear and away grounding in the genres their in?

Did I not say he continues to harbor this Beatles point (which he continued to do in the only post he's responded to me in)

Is it me, or is the sense im making being ignored?
 
I'd say your crowning achievement would be Radiohead (i count them there because they released some albums post Jan 1, 2000).

Arctic Monkies was a really nice addition to the canon and Franz Ferdenand never disappoints.
 
Okay for all-time I'm going to say British but about 99.9% of that goes back to all the great British Invasion banRAB and the fact that Bob Marley was half British.
 
the only girl banRAB from the 90's america are
salt&pepper
TLC
all saints

and few other that aren't well known

personally at that time i listened to spice girls and TLC so i can't name all of them
 
Well, while there were the great banRAB such as the Sonics, Frank Zappa, Hendrix and the Doors, they had to contend with the likes of The Pretty Things, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, King Crimson, David Bowie, Cream, The YardbirRAB and others like that. Sure, a lot of this is in the latter part of the 60's. And yes the US had jazz, but they'd already won the 50's because of their Jazz and blues.
 
I was merely posting a list of decent British banRAB regardless of the time frame and of course omitted many banRAB and tried to give a more up to date (ish) list.
 
Post punk?....I wouldnt consider Sonic Youth post punk unless every other alternative rock band at the time is post punk, and that would make U2 post punk as well. :laughing:

Suicide were more along the lines of New Wave, but either way they were around since the late 70s when punk was still a new thing...And i thought they were british, guess i was wrong. :confused:

I would consider The Cramps to be punk, just punk, plain and simple.

And i f*cking hate Devo, but whatever floats your boat man. :)
