Jagger`s stage performance may`ve been innovative, shocking, and fun to see live, but in the end his constant aggressive flirting with his audience works to the detriment of the Stones music. Too many of their songs sound like just another chance for Jagger to brag about his sexuality, which I don`t find very interesting.

To be honest, I really don't label bands or artist as being British, American, or whatever their ethnic origin may be. Music belongs to everybody and not just one certain fan base. Setting boundaries should be left to the musicians and songwriters. I mean Keith Richard is mainly influenced by Chuck Berry? That doesn't make his style American based to any major extent. I see time after time, certain suggestions like origin, image, media statistics, record sales, and so on, mentioned when someone is rating a band. When none of it has anything to do with the actual music itself in most cases. If I want to listen to a more progressive and sophisticated style, I would throw on some YES or Steely Dan. (Here is one for debate), I always liked the Police and some of Sting's solo work if I wanted a more articular style of "rock" music. The fact remains that British bands have dominated rock music since the British invasion in the 60s. In my opinion American bands of recent years have catered more toward the Metal genre and its sub-genres? Blah, blah.. |

Being the fanboy that I am, I'll go ahead and throw The Velvet Underground out there as a "revered" American band. In my opinion, they are one of the most important American rock bands from the 60s. Then, of course, there is The Doors...

The Doors, I really noticed the vocal influence and persona of Jim Morrison in the early '90s with the grunge era. Certain sources in the media has suggested that Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam as an artist that shows a lot of influence by Morrison. Here is a single I ran accross a couple of years back I think shows Morrison's influence. |

Radiohead is shit.
I ****ing said it. Their singer can't sing, their lyrics are unengaging and their music unoriginal and stale. Jesus H Christ, what is all their hype about? And I've given all of their big albums multiple tries, trying to figure it out.

I was ranting about that the other day actually. I think they're decent musicians, and I am happy that (for once) decent musicians are popular with today's music listeners. To be honest, though, what they did with Kid A was done in the 60s by bands like The United States of America. Hell, Super Furry Animals debut did it three years before they did, too... It's good music... it's just not very original and does not deserve the amount of hype for them being original and unique.
