I think UK takes it for the bands.
However, US has produced:
1. Elvis and his Band
2. The Stooges
3. Nirvana
4. Patti Smith Band
5. the Band
6. Kings of Leon |

well i beg to differ with you a little there texile
no doubt american culture (black and white) had huge influence and was a (the)major component in the creation of british rock and roll
but i would say the british art school/bohemian/romantic tradition also had a significant influence - it was just not quite so obvious an influence as that of american culture
true but without the gut-bucket blues of robert johnson, acid blues of link wray, white trash hillbilly rock and roll of jerry lee, elvis and buddy holly, the smooth, urban soul of motwon, black/white trash r&b of the south and throw in the nasty, sweaty funk of james brown...
shit stonedaussie -
the amercian musical culture was sublime - without it, skiffle and music hall would have conquered the world!
but i love the whole british art/school/boho vibe - that was an important, exotic element for american kids like me. |

Yeah, totally forgot about Men at work. And Little River Band - their song "reminicing" is up there with "yesterday" as one of the most played songs on U.S. radio - ever. Or so i read.
And, we got the kids market cornered too with Bananas in pjamas, Wiggles and of course (my babies and my fave) Hi-5.
Actually, i think the Bay City Rollers were Scottish. |

I see the UK bias here but did anyone write a song, "UK Music?" I ain't ever heard it if they did.
hmmm, a certain british band was in town that night...
American Music...

The USA invented the whole thing, and whether you're talking about The Rolling Stones, or The Sex Pistols, everything is derivitive of American music. Britain has produced some fantastic music, but each and everyone of those great acts will always pay due credit to America. I'm English, and most of my favourite music is British, but America will always be tops as far as rock music is concerned.
One things for sure; Continental music is crap! The Eurovision Song Contest? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. Australia too, hardly worth a mention. It's America. It always will be. |

Those are the ones that concern me the most...I suspect it will not be a happy new year in the Rolling Stones management office as I fear Michael Cohl (against Young Jake's wishes) will ditch the Stones christmas party to be seen with the "in crowd" at the U2 Holiday Bash (as to not offend those who dont celebrate Christmas)
I am sorry Gazza that the ticket sales have come to the point where they cannot sell out numerous shows in the UK, you do not deserve this humiliation. |

Levon is the only non-Canadian member of the original members of The Band. Not only are they Canadian (Robbie, Rick, Garth & Richard), but they're all southern Ontario boys. From my 'hood!
No wonder Dylan loved 'em!

Hey, i wasnt taking the piss. My Great-Grandfather was a Yank. From lovely Oakham, Mass. I'd love to be a Yank.
But, maybe when this whole George Bush thing and you know, the "Muslim problem" is gone.
Then i can retire to South Carolina - sit on my porch and wave at my new Yank mates, put my hand on my heart when the national anthem is played and wear horrible multi patterned and multi colored trousers.
But, i will never give up Aussie beer or Aussie footy. |
