Why did English culture produce the most influential bands?

The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, Black Sabbath, Radiohead, Iron Maiden, Muse, The Smiths, Coldplay, Queen, Sex Pistols, Oasis, The Clash, The Police, Depeche Mode, Genesis, The Cure, Cream, Portishead, Deaf Leppard, Fleetwood Mac, etc.

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.

OK. But none of said bands came from the US. Other theories?

Oh you mean The Memers, Led Memelin, Rolling Memes, Meme Floyd, The Meme, Meme Sabbath, Memehead, Iron Memeden, Meme, The Smemes, Memeplay, Meem, Meme Pistols, Memeasis, The Meme, The meme, Depeche Meme, Memisis, The Meme, Mreame, Memeishead, Dead Meme, and might I add Meemewood Meme?

English - the language of the devil.

Press S for Snake

no Joy Division?

no Siouxsie?

bloody hell

Half of these bands aren't that good.
>Muse, Oasis, The Police, Cream, Portishead
Really? Love The Smiths though.

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.

Why do almost all of them sing with an American accent?

Is it because its better than that shit accent the Brits have?

>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.

because English is the shit , man

1979–89 belonged the Brits (with The Church from Australia), regardless.

COLDPLAY

FUCKING COLDPLAY

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

COLDPLAY GODDAMNED IT I HATE THIS GENERATION

Fuck outta here nigger.

The Brits were laughing at The Beatles and all these other bands.

They had to move to Hamburg just to get somewhere cuz they were a joke in England.

They travelled to USA after stealing U.S. culture and blues (imagine, a bunch of honkeys having the fucking BLUES!?) and then they got famous.

Learn your goddamn history asshat.

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

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))).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Epstein

The Brits have stolen from Americans left and right and came back and sold their garbage to us.

Oasis is redpilled as fuck kid.

Why are you babbling about the Beatles.

Did you even read my post?

HAHAHA

youtube.com/watch?v=H5gc3jvofX4

That's gold my nigga.

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.

>No classical music

Uncultured swine

Nine Inch Nails
Marilyn Manson (90s MM)
The Ministry
Metallica (old ones)
and hundreds of others.

Not 33 Hz Gamma Waves , pffft, off yourself Fag

you forget Yes, Amerifag

Fuck off leaf, you haven't even invented anything except fucking justin bieber and drake.

and they had to move here just make a nickel.

idiot

Music is gay

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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronological_list_of_English_classical_composers

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

All of those are pleb tier

You're right. Yes was a great band.

Says the tea man

>That's gold my nigga.

especially the fake British accent

"dotty floor"

"you never wished me FARE THEE WELL!"

biggest cringe in music history

Handel was born in germany ya dingus

Not the old Ministry faggot, the band was good when they entered the industrial era.

idiot nigger jew.

I came here to post this too.

Come on, you can't talk about English musical influence without mentioning the band an entire genre cites as influence.

>tfw they didn't come to my state on their tour

Because Black Blues.

>most influential
>doesn't have kanye a #1
wtf you never listened real music in your life

A

FUCKING

SPANIARD

>germany

You used to be bach and shit, what happened?

>the band was good when they entered the industrial era.

Not really. Twitch is banal throughout. TLoRaH has a few decent tracks. TMiaTTtT had one decent song with a crappy bridge.

All in all inferior to Skinny Puppy although TLoRaH was certainly better than NiN's utterly banal records.

A

FUCKING

KRAUT

Any coolness British music may have had could never make up for Herman's Hermits.

That debt will never be paid off

so what?

still doesn't change fact that Revenge is the most cringey moment in American music history

Rush, triumph, trooper, BTO, guess who, harlequin, loverboy, Nazareth, April wine, etc. Canada was king of 70s classic rock

OP IS A DEGENERATE FOR NOT PUTTING YOUNG THUG ON THE LIST.

youtube.com/watch?v=Tz6OUIjtM6E

Im not even gay but thats cute as fuck

So he was ethnically and cultrally german first and foremost. I'm talking about straight up british composer, ethnically, culturally, etc.

That would be like me moving to britain, writing music, and claiming i was a british composer.

>still doesn't change fact that Revenge is the most cringey moment in American music history

Aren't you the faggot that said Handel is a bong?

Also named Siouxsie and the Fagshees to be on the list?

Fuck outta here and grow some taste faghag. You're a disgrace to Americans.

>all the bands are linked to depression
>uk has high suicide rates

pottery

Only an American would think Siouxsie wasn't important because the RIAA didn't market them when they were big at all.

youtube.com/watch?v=f8KhXUNeU30

Meme grips

Because they are the biggest witches and satanists on that inbred island.

>pottery

That flag....
Not surprised

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.

The Beatles never rocked a guitar solo like that.

jesus christ how horrible

Why were those girls screaming for?

>Of those bands, only The Rolling Stones (not "Rolling Stones," mongoloid) are of any importance to rock music.

Yeah, yer dum, too

youtube.com/watch?v=_kXMeXY0lOY

Absolute trash, except Hendrix.

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.

The Police is literally one of the worst bands of that era. Complete shit. Why do people still talk about them?

Troll thread but cool influential list w/ only rock bands OP.

...

Fame

CAuse of that tribute song to Biggie

The who?

>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

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.

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

So did you.

>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.

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.

What's so surprising that Britian has produced all this great music? Is it because we produced your mistake of a country, America?

>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)

Because hardships influence bands the most.

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.

Sting did one reasonably good album, though:

youtube.com/watch?v=MV0ERiykASA

>You will never be British

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

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.

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.

Enjoy your Muslims

youtube.com/watch?v=lYNHjmnlZbA

and to give other example of such phenomens

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

America hasn't contributed anything worthwhile to the world in decades either.

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.
