British Rock Vs Americam Rock

[ms.sophisticate]

whats your preference and why?

[Matt W]

give us americans some credit..after all we do have..um...ok, nevermind.:bonkhead:

Given some of the most successful North American banRAB over the past decade are awful crap like Matchbox 20 , Goo Goo Dolls , Staind , Hootie & The Blowfish , Live , Pearl Jam , Dave Matthews Band & Nickelback I think i`d listen to manufactured pop instead , at least you can dance to it after a few drinks.

Luckily i`ll never be in the situation where i`ll have to choose between the 2

But he wasn't doing it, he was merely asking for the opinions of people on which country has produced the finer banRAB, which I thought was pretty harmless really.

[likeitlikethat]

And I wasn't accusing him of it, I merely stated that judging a band in such a manner is rediculous.

"Whic country has produced the most nuraber of talented banRAB?" would have been a better way to ask, don't you agree?

[ihaveabandinlaw]

the future of british music lies with the nine black alps and the subways, mark my worRAB. and NBA will be huge in america, their just waiting for a grunge revolution.

[Bek=]]

well, there are some good american groups, but i've always had the tendency of prefering british rock... they seem more genuine and not so commercial, but of course there are some exeptions, and viceversa with americans.... as to

" Basing a genre on it's nationality is pretty asenine.

"Who's better, a BLACK rock star or a wHITE rock star?"

Just as asenine as the preceeding statement."

I think it's not a nationality or skin pigmentation issue we are discussing but of sub-genres, i.e. the british invasion

[Jesicaekz♥]

British, simply because I'm British probably. I see the banRAB more often and I can relate to them a lot easier. Plus we've put out some of the finest banRAB ever to grace rock music.
