That is because Americans like crap music and hair rock.
You probably don't know the Smiths or the Stone Roses or the Happy Mondays either.
The Americans only know Sergent Pepper because of early stuff like love me do.

How can you not like Oasis?
Have you heard of Madness or the Jam?

Americans don't like political music they just like hairspray soft rock or juvenile headbanging kids rock.

That's why the Beatles got to number 1 in America with all their albums.

Yes but the US wouldn't have bought Pepper had they not heard of them through early pop intended to make money from them.

I'd like to see some factual backing to the nationalist garbage you keep spitting everywhere.

~~ADELE~~ · 02-22-2008, 09:01 PM

Just opining my humble opinions good squire.
Not nationalist just music.

I don't understand how you can say the US only cares about Sgt. Peppers and their early music there's a few problems with this.

1. You're speaking for a whole nation.
2. You don't even live in the nation you're speaking for.
3. You're not saying something that's just an opinion, something like that is an objective statement (though it's not even true.)
4. All I hear on the radio is stuff mostly from Abbey Road so...
5. It is nationalist garbage it wouldn't be if you didn't seem to be obsessed with making a constant point of the brits doing it first and americans being *insert negative things here.*

I'm only jesting with you!
Just kicking round a few ideas.
I am Irish anyway!
It is better to go at it then to all add a separate name to the pot.
You see, I actually believe what I say about the bands I have mentioned but it is only because it gets people thinking and coming up with counter arguements and that is fun for everyone.
I am not saying I am right but I am saying I think I am.
It isn't US V UK but you have to understand that the US controls the music industry and what people hear and therfore like is determined by US record compaines. This is why they push the agenda for US bands more as they sell more and why when a movement is created or explodes they want to cash in and make it US to sell over in the US and then worldwide. Like Rap? They latch onto it and market it.
If you get one explosion and it sells the US record compainies seize every available act in that genre and market them till the nest thing comes along.
Why do you think US kids don't ever like music from say Australia? Because until some band there makes an explosion the record compainies in the US wont market their own versions of that band to profit.
That is why credit should be paid to a band or person who single handedly changes the music landscape and actually gets the US record execs to change course and go head on for that new theme. That takes a hell of a lot of inspiration and talent to change the record compaines direction.
KLike the Beatles suddenly changed the US record industry with their explosion and the record industry then got all the acts they could to copy or chane to be like them.
Same with the Who and then pistols. Remember until the pistols US record companies investing zero in punk bands and all their money went into prog rock.
It still would have had not one band changed that direction through sheer force of ideas and talent.
Then the US record companies go back to making money with safe acts like Elton John again.
The US controls what we hear and what we know about. Only a sheer act of immense talent and ideas ever changes their agenda (albeit for a short while)
I feel the US has an unfair control of what joe public hears and that is why I champion any act that changes that pattern.
