Why did these bands all come from English culture?
Because the english language is one of the best for music. There's serious phonetics studies about this. It lends itself to rhyme and song metrics.
There's few other languages with the same qualities, but they're obscure.
Ryan White
OK. But none of said bands came from the US. Other theories?

Half of these bands aren't that good. >Muse, Oasis, The Police, Cream, Portishead Really? Love The Smiths though.
Mason Hernandez
Fucking stupid, OP.
English culture has stolen from American culture.
Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Rolling Stone, have all stolen from American Blues.
Get the fuck out.
Ayden Parker
Why do almost all of them sing with an American accent?
Is it because its better than that shit accent the Brits have?
Jeremiah Green
>Why did these bands all come from English culture?
Because back then - the 60's - it was illegal for the US .gov to use propaganda against it's own people - so they got foreigners who speak the same language (sorta) to do it. No one suspected the Brits of subversion.
Same with spying. Before the NDAA, the Brits spied on American citizens and then passed the data over to the US .gov. Now, with the NDAA - not so much.
Bentley Perry
because English is the shit , man
Bentley Martinez
1979–89 belonged the Brits (with The Church from Australia), regardless.
Well, just to remind to every sovietic here, that USA has a territory that belongs to Russia. It's clear don't you see? Open any satanic bible, or american constitution and you will see the theft.

bibbidy bobbidy lots of places make good music
Kevin Powell
Op is a faggot for including Coldplay in that list.
And also a faggot for not knowing the history behind music.
There are 500x better U.S. bands from the 60s like Velvet Underground that got the schtick cuz they didn't have a kike manager like The Beatles had like Brian (((Epstein))).
Some of the best industrial rock, rock and roll, and punk rock came from the USA.
The Bongs just stole it and made it more commercialized and appealing.

Jayden Carter
This, you guys basically only have purcell right?
How much did britain really contribute to classical music. it seems like you guys havent created your own real genre. are reels and jigs Irish, scottish, or english in origin?
Slipjigs are pretty interesting desu 9/8 is so strange for western music.
because of bad weather and ugly people. Staying at home making music was all they had left in life and some got good at it.
I can't wait for the next generation pink floyd and the clash, I'm sure somewhere in london right now there is a group of rebel but good hearted asian teenagers experimenting and writing the next quintessential english greatest hits in between prayers
Because they are the biggest witches and satanists on that inbred island.
Oliver Hall

That flag.... Not surprised
Landon King
Of those bands, only The Rolling Stones (not "Rolling Stones," mongoloid) are of any importance to rock music. Possibly more over-rated than The Beatles, Radiohead are the flagship of nu-male music.
Blake Price
The Beatles never rocked a guitar solo like that.
Michael Anderson
jesus christ how horrible
Thomas Evans
Why were those girls screaming for?
Carter Kelly
>Of those bands, only The Rolling Stones (not "Rolling Stones," mongoloid) are of any importance to rock music.
because they had very good education unlike americans at the same time they lived in kind of "ghettos" (well not the american kind of thing) and socialised ofcourse very well
all these bands you listed were all part of big competition, everyone wanted to have best drummer in their band, best guitar player, best bassist, coolest singer in america you couldn't find so many people that are into this music at one place
also blues musicians of the USA like Muddy Waters were maybe 1-2 times invited on america tv, but had very big shows in England and denmark, Switzerland.
I've read a biography about my favourite band Black Sabbath, is very interesting Its also one of those reasons some of the best sportives of a certain sport come out of 1 country, because it is a social thing
Even if you're good at bike-riding, you will never get to be the best if your only competition is multiple countries away, but if you have them directly in your town you'll get better and better

You forgot these magnificent bastards.

Joy Division and Siouxsie started with no training.
Siouxsie was a major part of the real punk scene (not the cheesy American Heebeejeebees Blondie nonsense) and took stage with no rehearsal. The band, once formed, didn't even use regular tuning. They all just tuned to E.
The Cure's Smith, by contrast, started when he was 13.
Hudson Walker
because sting always gives 40 year old women the impression to be super intellectual because he has a beard and baroque instruments on his stage
very clever man
Lincoln Cook
So did you.
Oliver Perry
>OK. But none of said bands came from the US. Other theories?
How about my theory that OP's list is highly selective and you could make a similar list for the US. It's not like rock n roll was invented in the UK.
Ryder Ross
You faghag, Sex Pistols were the originators of Punk Rock, then Joy Division then in the 80s bands like The Germs and Black Flag took it to the next level....then bands like Nirvana and other fags made it more mainstream.
Learn your goddamn history faggot.
Juan Reed
What's so surprising that Britian has produced all this great music? Is it because we produced your mistake of a country, America?
Ryan Cruz
>Joy Division and Siouxsie started with no training. yeah but "no training" in england was almost better than some america people with "training"
you know I have a lad working with me, he's 61 now, who was with the Sex Pistols (he went to school with them and even played in a band with some band members before they became Sex Pistols) and even though he always told me he couldn't play anything really he was still very good
also not forgetting this band youtube.com/watch?v=zVf7SG1-DGg (only in britbongistan could such disgusting looking creatures make such good music)
Jackson Martin
Because hardships influence bands the most.
James Perry
Popular rock music was a shallow and vapid and now dead form of pop culture: it just so happened that post-war Britain (a place rife with liberalism, post-colonial guilt, a wish to distance ourselves from our past and all the traditions involved in it) was the right place for the crap to come from. Those "influential bands" will only be remembered as a silly novelty in a few decades, if they're not already now.
Also not to forget that english people took it to next level with people like John Peel, who always analyzed the music etc.
Now they have Jools Holland, there is no music show on this planet were live bands sound as good as they do on Jools Holland
Tyler Hernandez
I disagree, but I'm going to feed your proposition anyway. One if the most interesting theories that I've ever heard on rock and roll was that the English rock scene was created by the end of compulsory military service in Britain. Military service kills youthful creativity. This explains the absence of Britain in the earliest days of rock.
Also Britain is a very musical culture.
Dominic Thomas
And we have surpassed you in every possible way. Your laughable culture is a joke now. You haven't contributed anything to the world in decades.
There is literally nothing good about your shitty little island full of ugly inbreds with bad teeth.
just look at classical music when it was done in Vienna, every young lad in vienna back then had to be the best one, thats why most of the best classical music came from there, all while some english and french were trying to reach these heights but they never did
Just like visual arts had a big social club in france, all while german visual arts are not very well known
Grayson Jenkins
America hasn't contributed anything worthwhile to the world in decades either.
Christopher Carter
You're ignorant.
Siouxsie performed at the 100 Club in 1976, the same year Joy Division formed.
>Sex Pistols were the originators of Punk Rock, then Joy Division
lol
Joy Division was barely punk at all. Their first record was scrapped after recording, too.
>Learn your goddamn history faggot.
You don't even know what the Bromley Contingent was.
