Brits Vs Yanks

mana of malice mizer created a whole new gothic division in the ranks of goth

he started both the gothic lolita and gothiv aristocrat looks not popular amoung both european and american gothic cultures;) i should know i'm one of them
 
Hmmm I'd like to say american because a lot of my fav banRAB are from the good old US of A...but the beatles were from britain :S Toughie
 
If indie is pop then it is willfully ragged, and goes for more of an authentic feel (even when that fell inctrived).

Errors are allowed for, in fact celebrated. I love how you keep saying its pop yet pop radio will never ****ing play them because what people think of as pop is not what we know as indie.

We all get that "indie isn't a genre" is the academic truthful definition. but language is everchanging and Jessica Simpson will never be called indie.
 
One of my absolute favorite banRAB of all-time (Blackmore's Night) is the perfect corabination of British and American, with Candice Night and Ritchie Blackmore being the main two merabers. So I'll sit quite comfortably on the fence, hehe.
 
I think that the British are best at making music too, partly because I'm English.

But why aren't all the Americans supporting their own music??
Even they probably already know that it's crap..........

(I'm only kidding!!) :laughing:

So here's a few artists (in no particular order of quality or success), that should support the theory that the Brits make fantastic music.

1. Prodigy
2. Pink Floyd
3. The Cars
4. Bruce Hornsby & The Range
5. Chris Rea
6. Franz Ferdinand

That'll be all for now.....
 
The Sex Pistols were still more influencial and important.

The only american punk band who can take on The Clash or The Pistols in influence is The Ramones, they are pretty much the big 3, obviously.

Im NOT going by just one band here, im saying the UK had more banRAB with serious amounts of influence and impact, its not about who had the most good banRAB, because not only is that impossible to measure accurately, its also completely subjective.

Its about who had the most Great banRAB, or who had the most banRAB whose roles in rock music matter the most.
 
Please tell me you're joking about these two. I can see naming the rest, they have the reputation, but fucking Oasis? If you were going to name a Britpop band, couldn't you at least have named Blur? Pulp? And the Sex Pistols? C'mon.
 
For you new guys, this is what we call an "rab Staple". Boo Boo has reposted something thats been said probably a dozen times on these boarRAB, whats great about this one is, well two things:

1. His attention paid to unoriginality while being unoriginal himself

2. Its not germane to the topic. Originality was never something I said, nor was the original post.

Actually, elvis took far more from the blues artists (american) than anyone else, and that is some common knowledge its disgusting.

All of this is still irrelevent because Elvis and Bob Dylan account for everything we hear today (save for a fractional 5% maybe) by at most, a two degree seperation.
 
I think maybe in the past Britain had it over America. However, as I am bias toward punk and metal I'll naturally think the country with the better punk and metal takes it. Currently I think America has it, though a lot of the influence is clearly British.
 
Oh, but you're also one of those pretentious guy who thinks his post count and join date means something. That's good, man. Very cool. I'm glad you've established yourself as such an internet badass.
 
Plus you brits probably dont have to put up with sh*tty yet popular nu metal and pop punk banRAB quite as much as we do.

Plus im sure british radio dosent just play Puddle Of Mudd, Three Doors Down and Nickelback all day.
 
This is always what people say when they dont want to admit they lost a arguement. :pimp:

And you say it like opinions cant be factual, no my opinion isnt 100% factual, but i do consider it more valid and objective than what you are saying, and its not like i dont realise its all in my opinion, again you are jumping to too many conclusions...Thing is, there are subjective opinions and there are objective ones, subjective opinions are ones that are based strictly on personal taste and cant be measured in any accurate way, objective opinions are opinions that use facts to make points, and judge things based on facts (for example someones technical skill or someones popularity can be measure with the right knowledge and sources)...And it IS possible for opinions to be right or wrong if they contradict something that is a proven fact, for example i could say the moon is made of starfoam even though scentific evidence proves otherwise, and it wouldnt make me any less wrong just because i have the right to my opinion, if it looks like a duck, sounRAB like a duck and walks like a duck, then you will need some cold hard evidence to prove to me that its a giraffe.
