Jesus Is Dead In My Basement Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You cant count Jimi Hendrix as a brit just because he got started in England that is absurd. The Beatles got even more famous when they came to America but it does not make them American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure who your talking to, but if it was me I didn't count Hendrix as a Brit I simply said he got his start there. I was point out 9 of 10 of my favorites were Brits and the 10 had close ties to the UK. I was trying to understand why so many from such a small place, geographically.

stevezapp Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 In all fairness you are in the lead right now... You have bands like Foo Fighters, QOTSA, Chili's, Kings of Leon... We have Coldplay and McFly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axuality Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Just to show that I seem to agree, I mention as my view of the best bands: Zeppelin, Rush (kind of Brit), Beatles, Cream. Other than those bands, who cares? (just kidding, kind of But I wonder if it's because of the way that music is presented to us. The grass is often greener on the other side, so did the music industry fall prey to this belief and unconsciously present Brit music to us, so that we'd prefer it? Although it's hard to deny that Zepp is as good as they are. Maybe the British musicians are less interested in being posers and copiers. Maybe American musicians have let commercialism and marketing affect their thinking too much. Good question that I've wondered about for years.

brundaddy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Har har har. You're delusional if you think that, on the whole, English people "out rock" Americans. I get that you're a LZ fanboy... you'll figure it out one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillageIdiotUsingShampoo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I think the best band ever is The Clash, and they are from Britain but grunge bands like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana is really good so i think America can make some good tunes too. :-) (the smilies on this site sucks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
