Best bands from USA

The Hollies!

Fleetwood Mac didn't become stars until the American guy and his Wiccan sheep girlfriend took over and completely altered their sound

Before that they were as big a deal as Savoy Brown

 

Jeff Beck... great guitarist

He's made 50 records... only one of them is listenable (Blow by Blow)

Ten Years After... good grief ... you're already knee deep in mediocre dross

 

Takin it to the streets at that point

 

American music's vastly superior

 

Alot of pish there

 

Pish

 

^This fucking dumpling trying to swing his wee tossel about

 

Jings! The laddie who started this fyewd should change his name tae ‘French Mustard’ the way he’s SURRENDERING.

He has let the Queen doon.

 

Haud yer weisht else I'll gie ya ra severe malky

 

Magus has done an exceptional troll job here but it can't be denied that the UK has had a pretty seismic impact on popular music when you take into account its size in comparison to the USA.

 

Well done.
Two points.




Cdoggshit - die.

 

The '60s showed UK dominated essily so let's move on and consolidate in the next decade:
David Bowie
Elton John
Paul McCartney
John Lennon
Genesis
King Crimson

Deep Purple
Electric Light Orchestra
Jethro Tull
Led Zeppelin
Yes
Genesis

Black Sabbath
Rod Stewart
Nick Drake
Thin Lizzy

See it works like a wave of attacks, each one seeing over anything the USA offered, and we havent even got to the fuckin mid-70s yet.

(N.B. look above where Led Zeppelin are: Class C, mothafocka
That.shows you how fuckin easy this is)

 

Bowie's the only thing there worth half a jobby

 

Thin Lizzy? You don't get to claim them ... they are primarily associated with Ireland

 

You're Michael Watson and I'm Mike McCallum

 

So, as we see it, US artists that are really any good from the 1960s:
Bob Dylan
The Byrds
The Beach Boys
The Doors
Jimi Hendrix
Creedance Clearwater Revival

Then a level or two down:
Captain Beefheart
Frank Zappa
Janis Joplin
Simon & Garfunkel

Down another level:
Buffalo Springfield
The Grateful Dead
Jefferson Airplane
The Mamas & The Papas
Tim Buckley
Sly & The Family Stone

And I´m afraid, as awesome as all of those are, they don´t stack up against UK artists from the same era I listed, 1963-69.
That´s not opinion, that´s fact.

I know it.
cdogg187 knows it.

(Hut*Hut hasn´t heard of any of these bands)



Prepare then, for when the USA made a comeback in the next decade and it was on!

 

Dear god, what absurd drivel

Kill your self

 

See, you´re fallen into a trap that isn´t even there: you´ve got confused and your mindset into thinking I don´t like any of the bands or artists from the USA when in fact, the exact opposite is true.

 

All of this flowery faggotry will not save you or your thread from the essential truth: there's not any genuine debate about the superiority of the American output. It simply is

 

So, moving on, I´ll also give you:
Stevie Wonder as the sole Class A, top-of-the-tree artist from the entire decade of 1970-79.

However, there are a tons of back-ups to keep the US counter-attack moving (remember, this is only the first 1/3 of the decade):
Alice Cooper
The Allman Brothers Band
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Lou Reed

Then, a level-down:
Mountain
Grand Funk Railroad
James Gang
MC5
Chicago
The Carpenters
Flying Burrito Brothers
Funkadelic
Santana

So, you can see - a lot of great names but spreading somewhat thinly compared to the UK artists, who, from 1968-73 fucking owned the music business.
Owned it.

 

I haven't stopped laughing since I saw that you were still posting replies to this topic. Perhaps someday I'll read them.

 

However, this upsurge in American talent in what I call ´The Interim Years´ (circa 1971-75) is very short-lived as the UK, once again produsing some vastly superior musical talent:
Brian Eno leading the charge with your 10cc, Cockney Rebel/Steve Harley as reserves while the big guns of Queen and Roxy Music making the big noise.

The US comparatives during this era?
Bruce Springsteen
Patti Smith
Tom Waits

 

You should.
You´ll then learn there are vast gaps in your musical IQ.

 

10cc

Not even they'd believe this cunt

 

See, again though, the sheer size of the USA means it's always going to have an advantage in overall output. Put the best 5 UK bands vs the best 5 US bands and it's incredibly close.

 

"You see if we move the goalposts to a ridiculous degree..."

FUCKING BRIT CUNTS

 

Just bands or artists? I'llgo for Buddy Holly.

 

Hendrix
