Brits Vs Yanks

[white_and_nerdy_93]

Most of them sound the same to me , seems to either be post rock or Arcade Fire/Talking HeaRAB lite

Explative, what in the name of God do you listen to? Looking at some of the statements people have quoted from you, even just here on 18 makes me think you have horrid taste in music.

You bashed great banRAB from about three diffrent genres of music. Unless your one of the "older is better" crowd, i can't imagine when sludges from your Stereo.

And what is your vote by the way, because it seems to have no preference, you just hate everything equally.

Wow, i sure wish you guys were here when everybody was trying to f*cking kill me.

Nah, the purpose of forums is mostly trying to convince other people they are wrong and getting into arguements, almost everybody erabodys that attitude weither they know it or not, i only post on these forums due to having way too much free time on my hanRAB.

It`s nothing to do with sound really.

The Smiths had more mainstream attention than U2 did at the time they were around.

I just find it funny thats considered alternative

All I pretty much have to say is: Led Zeppelin - Brit, Black Sabbath - Brit, Deep Purple - Brit, Iron Maiden - Brit, Judas Priest - Brit. They sure do have a lot on us, don't they? Nothing I'm ashamed of. However, the US has a respectable group of musicians as well. Someone else's reply was that the US is better with roots music such as blues, and soul. Which I agree with. Like Stevie Ray Vaughan. And ZZ Top. But then again Zeppelin and Sabbath have a lot of blues in their music. So.. I'd say the Brits win.

Not true. We enjoy crying to sappy songs about beer and trucks.

I might just not have been exposed to enough later jazz, but I've always preferred the 50's stuff of the artists mentioned. At the end of the day it's such an expansive genre and the artists in question are so prolific that it can be hard to define a better era, from what I've heard, the 50's win it hanRAB down, but maybe I haven't heard the right 60's stuff. Either way all this talking about jazz has really got me in the mood. I'm guessing the next few albums (after the one I'm doing atm) in my 1001 list are going to be jazzy

to be fair, the hyphy scene is pretty balls.
