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

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

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

Talk Talk are great but they're the only noteworthy British post-rock band.
First wave > second wave >>>>>> third wave

>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.

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.

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.
