Brits Vs Yanks

I think original music stanRAB a better chance in Britain.

It seems to me the American charts are permenently clogged up with either Rock , R&B or Hip Hop & little else.

There`s a lot of crap in the British charts but I think it`s a lot more varied.
 
We'll call it even. There are times when I can get down to The Scientist and Clocks with ease. I picked up Viva upon release and still have yet to actually finish it.

The only reason I could take Yanks in this one us for obvious yank bias. I enjoy tunes from both sides and just thankful.

Lastly, I despise the term yank. I support the southeastern states, and over here yank refers to strictly the northeast. To me, they are two totally different countries.

Modern Lovers, Suicide, Talking HeaRAB, Television, NY Dolls, Stooges & Iggy Pop, The Beach Boys, Ramones, VU & Lou Reed, Dylan, Tom Waits, Ramones, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis, Blondie, James Brown, Parliament/Funkadelic, Theoretical Girls, Devo, Pere Ubu, Mission of Burma, all the banRAB on No New York, Gil Scott-Heron, Liquid Liquid, Johnny Thunders, Richard Hell, etc.
 
I never thought about this. I judge music by its qualities and not by nationalities. I don't even chose good music related to an artist or an album. I love a good song ...
 
The two countries are evenly matched, what's the problem with that? I'm not "escaping" the argument, I thought about it for a while and decided that there are a lot of things I like about both countries. But if you really want me to choose, I'll pick the US.

And the two banRAB I mentioned are boring, derivative, and generic.

Urban, besides completely ignoring some of the US' best and most experimental banRAB, all genres can be just as easily simplified as you just did so that really says nothing about American Indie at all. Most of those were hardly Indie "movements," anyways.
 
Theyre absolutely incredible. There stuff is tuneful and melodic but the recording style is even more lo-fi and trashy than Confusion Is Next, very similar to the Electric Eels recordings. Check out their myspace.:)
 
So you're telling me that The Stooges, New York Dolls, Modern Lovers, The Velvet Underground, MC5, and Rocket from the Torabs aren't Punk, or didn't have any influence on it all? Riiight.
 
Ok you get the 50's too.
But the 70's REALLY.
We had loaRAB of british Prog banRAB.
LoaRAB of british Folk artists.
About 70% of all good punk.
The big hard rock banRAB like The Who and Led Zeppelin.
We had both Bolan and Bowie.

Can you really argue?
 
50's goes to the US
60's goes to the UK
70's goes to the UK
80's goes to the UK
90's goes to the US
and the noughties go to Europe and Japan.

Basically nowadays neither the UK or the US have big scenes that are consistently making good music.
