>Americans
>Ska
Unless you're counting the entire American continent and including Jamaica in that, that is complete nonsense and you know it

>Americans
>Metal
Nope
>Americans
>Ska
Nope
how can one OP be so wrong

Ska is Jamaican. Got really popular In Britain during the late 70s, early 80s. Bands like Madness, The Specials, etc

>brits
Prog
>americans
Jazz

Madchester is proof that americans aren't the best at rock either.

Britain:

Nearly every style of dance music popular in late 80s/early 90s

Yeah but third wave ska is best ska and that was an American movement.

Baggy music too
And if we're going off that then rave music also

>third wave ska is best ska
Bollocks is it, it's the worst by some distance

>Americans
blues
jazz
country
that's it

Ska Punk is shite lol. Even then it's combining a British born genre. So it's useless saying it's an American idea

>Madchester

Literally just two bands of relevance. To be fair though, The Stone Roses made one of the greatest British albums of all time, and Happy Mondays have done some very comfy stuff.

We could count disco and funk there too I suppose

Folk, ragtime, folk punk, folk rock

This album is better than anything The Specials or Madness ever did.

el mounstruoso duende...

The music can be hit and miss but the impact it had on popular British music at the time and the sub-genres it spawned can't be denied. Happy Mondays made two or three good records and a killer EP and the Roses made two top notch albums. The rest is sort of just there. But then again Madchester gave us rave music and also to an extent Britpop so...

Suck my dick. Absolutely by Madness is a 10/10

>UK Garage
>UK Bass

Literally just nicked tunes + DUDE WEED LMAO the album, and Sublime were probably the best 3rd wave band

stands for ultra komfy

the "britpop is bad" meme is so dumb and beaten

suede, manic street peachers, mansun, the divine comedy etc. are up there with radiohead, if not even higher, as the greatest uk bands of the 90's

america has hip hop

but who cares only children like that anyway

>Implying Blur and Oasis aren't good

Kys my man

Suede are the only band out of those that were Britpop.

And Pulp

>cool, multi-racial, danceable music with connections to the post-punk movement
>overproduced guy fieri lookalike-core with shit rhythms and bad vocals with connections to the terrible,dorky commercialised pop-punk sound

hmm nah

AWFUL taste. Second wave ska is best ska.

t. American

pulp were the best britpop band tho lbr

*blur

>Brits
Shoegaze
IDM
Techno
Post Punk
>Americans
Grunge
Post Rock
Punk

>americans
>postrock
trollin right?

I believe "folk" in American language means "modern US singer-songwriters", because in English it clearly means something different

American post-rock > British post-rock

America has:
>Swans
>Tortoise
>Explosions in the Sky

Great Britain has:
>Mogwai
Oh wait, they're Scottish.

um try again sweetie

So basically
>Americans
Rock
>brits
Electronic

>muh proto-post-rock
Talk Talk are great but they're the only noteworthy British post-rock band.

First wave > second wave >>>>>> third wave

Amerimutts
>country?

Brits
>everything else

The British tried to imitate Detroit techno, but none of their rave subgenres ever surpassed it.

There is not a single genre that Americans can do better than British people. Americans are just defective Anglos mixed with various mongoloid races to create some hideous mongrels though, so it makes sense.

African american electronic music is a minority compared to the UK scene as a whole.

>Brits
Shoegaze
Electronic music

>Americans
Everything else

>Americans
Hip hop
Blues

>Britain

There's an argument for either side of the pond on who was better, but Britain had way more than just Talk Talk

Yeah right. You can keep ragtime.

And Americans wouldn't even have heard half of that if it hadn't been reimported from Europe (UK = blues, France = jazz).

Americans are better at rock music huh.
Interesting notion.

TVU
Elvis
Zappa
Beefheart
Chuck Berry
Pere Ubu
The Stooges
Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix

You're right but I feel the need to point out that Mogwai are Scottish, not British.

This is bait

We get to count Jimi, not you.
See, being a bunch of racist fucks backfired.

I know Braithwaite doesn't shut the fuck up about Scottish independence, but they're still British as long as Scotland is

Variety is more important than either.

The american counterpart to the beatles were the beach boys, you absolute ass
S&G dropped their best album after the beatles disbanded

Not that poster but, while you are right about "America's band", I think Bookends is much overlooked at as 60s studio experimentation album.

>brits

i could go on.

Yeah, Mrs Robinson is one of my fav songs of all time but BOTW is the superior album

Save The Life Of My Child has got as much weird stuff going on as any track on Revolver including a 'sample' of the Sound of Silence, the first Moog synth, Clare Torry-style vocals etc. Seems much overlooked to me, maybe because they integrated it so well.

I also think America is an amazing song.

>America better at rock
>even though The Beatles were British
