well, there are some good american groups, but i've always had the tendency of prefering british rock... they seem more genuine and not so commercial, but of course there are some exeptions, and viceversa with americans.... as to
" Basing a genre on it's nationality is pretty asenine. "Who's better, a BLACK rock star or a wHITE rock star?" Just as asenine as the preceeding statement." I think it's not a nationality or skin pigmentation issue we are discussing but of sub-genres, i.e. the british invasion |
ah cmon, we have a couple of diverse acts, ariel pink and tom vek spring to mind, sons & daughters are pretty different. the coral, british sea power, the subways, NBA, its pretty diverse. i know we have the FF, the bloc parties, the KC etc but look at the US, the killers, the bravey, the rapture, HHH, the walkmen. itys all pretty samey over there to. yea you have QOTSA and mars volta but for every QOTSA we have a muse and for every MV we still have a radiohead lurking somewhere.

You had a good point till you mentioned Muse
|
i happen to really like muse. songs for death good, bloody good. absolution, blooooooooooooooody good.

Matt Bellamy - Tosser
|
also great on the guitar and piano. great voice and general all round performer with a killer rythmn section to back him up.
|
If thats all true I guess it`s a shame they sound like a bad Queen tribute act
|
if queen had made a song like stockholme sybdrome or the small print id see them as higher then zeppelin.

To go back to the great american bash fest you had back there, Nickleback is again, Canadian, and those guys get pissed if you associate them with us. Secondly, Creed is not the largest selling group in the states, I'd like to see where you got that stat from? And are you trying to tell me that the brittish music press are a bunch of hypocritical jackals because the strokes and the white stripes came out? |
Ive got a lot more respect for british bands, because i know im up for something good. ATM, america has the best bands, but not many people will forget the legends that came from the UK. Sabbath, Iron Maiden (or is it???, sorry not sure) but there are also some really cool bands from sweden too.
Whenever you guys can, try and download some Cryonic Temple and tell me what you think, they're a modern version of Maiden, which is good right? |
