Britain vs. USA

[-57-]

Ok, not exactly what the title may bring to your mind at first, but that's ok.

What I want to know is which do you think is better, the Classic Rock produced by British bands, or by American bands. While the British have probably a better top 3 bands (or maybe top 5 if you want to stretch it) I think overall there was just more good music and many more American bands.

I dunno, you guys decide.

[mantis33]

Both.

[Angelic-Hotfox]

I dont know any British bands off the top of my head...crapp

[Deepsea]

British probably would own USA with old classic rock, But now a days...USA is totally on top, Unless you want to bring United Kingdom into the picture.

Yes, but Beatles alone can't save you from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eagles, The Band, CCR, Bob Dylan... the list goes on

[Deepsea]

I have no idea what you just said... :confused:

''>:cool: Let's keep it that way. I'm a techno fan.

[Shamus]

Why yes, yes I am.

[S_K_O_F]

Skynyrd, AC-DC, Zeppelin...
Chuck Berry, Elvis, Cash...

Need i list more.

While I thoroughly enjoy all rock, including most British rockers, I am hands down in favor of Classic US Rock.

[Angelic-Hotfox]

I have no idea what you just said... :confused:

Deepsea is being a smart ass. He made a funny. Hes making a reference to Britain no longer existing under that name and that now its being called UK...or at least I think thats what he was trying to say

[Excaliber]

I never listen to classic rock... But out of what I have listened to I would say that the American rock is better...

[Lex]

The answer to this thread is.... duh?

[Shamus]

The worst Beatles' song is 10x better than any song by any other band, ever.

[Deepsea]

Alright, after doing a bit of research, I will have to say that this is not really comparable. Both put out amazing rock bands in the early years.

I honestly can't choose. I love rock and roll and won't taint it with a "Who is better, us or them" debate.

Britain has a ton of awesome rock bands from the 50's 60's and 70's. The US has a ton of bands also. All of which I love.

[Deepsea]

Guns N' Roses grew up close to my neighborhood, I deserve a reward =]..

[S_K_O_F]

This is a joke, right?
The Beattles were awesome, don't get me wrong, but I'll put on Foghat or the Eagles any day over the Beattles.

[Dresicos]

Thats what I am saying...

Yea, i just went through my itunes, and named about 10 of ym favorite classic rock bands...if you guys still arnt convinced that U.S. pwns, i can post more...:)

[gryph89]

Britain was more "punk" while America still had old school music, that why The BEatles, Rolling Stones and the rest of them revolutionized AMerican music.

America has alot of different music, cause while the "Invasion" began, we still Dave Matthews, Charlie Daniels, and alot more at the time. In present, I think America still leads the group in terms of metal and rock, but only after Britain introduced it here.

Besides, Chuck Berry is a god.

[TeXaS LoNgHoRnS]

plus....can anyone match the beginning to hot for teacher?

I think not!

[-57-]

Tex.. the beatles pwn all of those by themselves. You lose.

So you're going to tell me

Beatles vs

Aerosmith, Alman Brothers, America, Bad Company, The Band, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Bob Segar, Boston, Bruce Springsteen, CCR, Doobie Brothers, Doors, Eagles, Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Free, Grand Funk Railroad, Guns N' Roses, J. Giels Band, Jefferson Airplane, Journey, Little Feat, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Police, Simon and Garfunkel, Steely Dan, Steve Miller Band, Tom Petty, and probably a ton I still missed?

:p

Yes... yes I am.

[gryph89]

lol, Van Halen has that "In your face rock" which alot of bands copied, but failed miserably. The only band I ever saw who had that kind of stuff was Perfect Circle and Tool.

[-57-]

Yes... yes I am.

Then you my poor son are sadly mis-led

*shakes head in that 'I'm not angry, just disappointed' manner*

[BaxVarlet]

Queen is freakin' awesome, but on the other hand, Foreigner is too.

[Shamus]

Alright, U.S. has more great bands than England, but England is home to thee greatest band.

[Shamus]

Give me your top ten favorite Beatles songs, or if that's to hard, top 20...Hmm, that is tough, I'll just do top 10. In no particular order:
Revolution
Here Comes the Sun
Strawberry Fields Forever
Lovely Rita
Dear Prudence
Good Day Sunshine
I Am the Walrus
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
In My Life
Eight Days a Week

It's hard to compile a list like that, because my favorite Beatles' songs change with the mood I'm in.

You have no proof!

pfff, music transcends location, it doesn't matter where they come from, how many did, or where the best/worst did

Those that want to lay claim to a group as being "theirs" nationality just don't get it.

Carlos Santana...Not American.Oasis...British.

But aside from that, I'm gonna have to go with American classic rock slightly beats out the Brits.

And for you folks saying The Beatles beat 'em all....The Who > The Beatles any day.

yea, but santana played american style rock....and oasis was british? hmm...i did nt know that

[-57-]

And for you folks saying The Beatles beat 'em all....The Who > The Beatles any day.

While I do love The Who and put them in what I like to call "The 5" ; Beatles, Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, they go in that order :p

And that order only... ;)

[I'malive24/7]

yea, but santana played american style rock....

Well, That depends on what music of his you listen to. A lot of it was more Latin American music that sounded nothing like the classic rock Americans were producing.

While I do love The Who and put them in what I like to call "The 5" ; Beatles, Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, they go in that order :p

And that order only... ;)

Actually that "5" actually goes like this ; Who, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones.



And by the way.

Paul McCartney is Dead!

Kind of a side note... didn't you used to have a Division Bell banner? :huh:

[Jonspen]

I'm suprised nobody's mentioned Queen >_>

Edit: I'm stupid, someone has. Forget I was ever here.

[I'malive24/7]

Yep ^_^

That was a good banner, I gotta dig it up.

Muahaha, pwn. I found it

[TeXaS LoNgHoRnS]

Well, That depends on what music of his you listen to. A lot of it was more Latin American music that sounded nothing like the classic rock Americans were producing.

Yea, true...but some of his songs like eye of the tiger are more american style...

And by the way.

HA!

HA!

It's true! Don't make me prove it. :P
