You wouldn't, you'd say she was corporate trying to pass herself off as indie, and you'd spam newbs who said otherwise, you're not fooling anyone.

If she was on an indie label, and if she hadn't previosly been on a major label, then she would be indie. Is that hard to grasp?

That's a lot closer to how I feel about it, but I still think early 70s US slightly edges out late 70s UK.

You missed out on a hella load of good rock acts out at the time. I kind of misanswered your post when I said the 90s, sorry bout that.

Yeah i probably did give it to the 70s primarly because of my prog bias.

But its not like the UK lacked great bands of all genres during that period.

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.
