Brits Vs Yanks

[Holly:)]

My case in point. You don't like British music as a whole. I could argue the same about American music but I won't because I happen to like American music.

I remeraber reading a post where you said that all modern music came from America which is true (I will find the post- I scoured this one but couldn't find it) but I am counter-balancing that with the fact that we took your building blocks and improved upon them.

I am English and should rightly champion our music but I have never once said that it's better than any other music. I am arguing the fact that you don't seem to want to give our music any respect whereas I have always gave respect where it's due.

How dare I? Well you did hanker for an argument in a lounge thread so I thought I would oblige with a well reasoned reply but instead you think it's a wholly personal attack

My music collection is probably split 40-40 regarding U.S and U.K with the other 20% being other countries, however I have to champion my nations music regardless of what era was better.

The difference here is that whilst I prefer UK music as a whole, I listen to U.S music just as much and acknowledge that whereas you seem hellbent on deconstructing our music even if it has not been as relevant recently.

Who has the best music? No one. We both have some awesome banRAB and some utter crap. I'm just sticking up for the music that has shaped me.

Are you serious ?!?!

This is a waste of time. Why join a music forum if you know nothing about it?

Okay then, let's change this to a global thing. I made it only Brits v Yanks because I thought that it was a bigger issue without a load of unknown, ultra-foreign banRAB floating around. I didn't want that basically because I don't listen to anything outside of Great Britain and the USA. But if you lot want it changed, then go ahead. So people, who makes the better music? The Brits, Yanks, Canadians, Croatians, French, Norweigans, Italians, Germans, Spanish, Portugese.......

Yeah, that's why I hate arguing with foreigners.

How about the Minutemen or Mission of Burma from AMERICA

We had MoTown though.

Ok, you are probably right, i'll give you that.

[MIKE!]

Your thread is just fine the way it is hobojesus.

I would say that the Brits definatly started the Rock & Roll scene. They artists like the Beatles and other banRAB are pioneers. The Yanks I would say opened the Rock & Roll scene to a new look with sounthern rock. Like Lynard Skynard. But all in all, I think the Brits win this one. America is known more for our "Country" music. Which is by the way terrible. Also I want to add. Why is'nt this a poll?

Yeah I forgot PJ was a puddle jumper. Anyway, this argument is usually stupid but since the whole first pages was Brits slagging statesmen and one atlantian defector, I figured I'd throw out what we're good for.

America turns out alot of banRAB in a short period, its sort of like birth, you release a million banRAB, one has to get pregnant off success.

and to you arrogant folk who said "well we have these guys, so we win" let me just say

Radiohead
The Smiths

America Wins.
