The uk has led popular music trends since the sixties e.g The Beatles, Sex Pistols, Eric Clapton, yes there have been a few turkeys but overall the contribution to music made by uk artists far exceeds all of the yank crap we are constantly subjected to

So uh, anything good in the last 30 years?  :lol

Well I'm staying neutral on the American v Britpop debate as long as no one accuses U2 of being British.  :neener:

I also don't see why anyone is complaining for getting something for nothing. But then again I like their music.

I'm with oldskool on this.  Just think of how boring modern music would be if the limeys hadn't invented rock and roll.

Eric Clapton made is career by lifting blues songs from American artists. I'd rather listen to Robert Johnson any day of the week.


I do give credit to Bowie and the Beatles, very revolutionary.

Compare Robert Johnson's and Clapton's versions of Crossroads. To say Clapton simply "lifted" the song from Johnson is just asinine. They are both great in their own right, but are vastly different in both sound and style. Clapton brought an entirely new element of fast paced, loud, and high-intensity rock and roll to an old Delta blues song and made it his own, much like Led Zeppelin did in their first couple albums in particular.

I listen predominately to blues myself i.ve got most of robert johnsons releases and much more besides
my previous posts were more than a little tongue in cheek but seriously American blues,Jazz and rock is on a par with similar from the U.K both feed the other and may not have even evolved to the genres we all love today without each other

I'd rather listen to somebody physically abuse puppies than listen to U2.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
