Why is British music overall better and more influencial than the US for a smaller population?
>implying all of that isn't heavily inspired by blues music, which originated as United States slave songs

>Gorillaz try harder with the b8 next time
Luis Williams
the smiths, the sex pistols, the cure, joy division, blur, gorillaz, portishead, massive attack, stone roses, depeche mode, wire, jethro tull, and belle and sebastian are all very bad. i cant stand british people's superiority complex over music especially when they've been ripping off formula's from black music and white music in the us. they do best when they're not imitating american and jamaican music
Nathan Clark

It was more african music and european classical and folk than american music.
Oliver Murphy

oh. thought this was a bait thread but you're probably genuinely wondering why they're more influential. i think it's not true that they're more influential because bob dylan lou reed the ramones john coltrane thelonious monk miles davis howlin wolf john lee hooker all of R&B in general du wop and funk music
british music was big in the late 70s and up until the late 80s because of their more accessible pop spin on more bluesy american music
Liam Moore
*steal music from the people they imprison, enslave and force to work taken from their own countries

Christian Robinson
Thats true thou. Brit music died like in 2000 (except Radiohead).
Austin Richardson

Nicholas Davis

Lincoln Smith
''your'' folk music is British from when we invaded and ran the place until we got bored and fobbed it off back on the local schmucks
Jaxson Lewis
Elvis by himself had more influence culturally and musically than any band you named and probably more than all of them combined.
Eli Robinson
"no"
Liam Hernandez
do they really teach in british schools that britain let america have its independence?
Xavier Turner
