Usa Vs. Uk (Music)

[willy]

What about music of the Caribbean? As rich and diverse as anything from the US or UK 

[Slow In Brain]

Anytime i'd ask someone who had a grater impact on music the usa or uk? they always say the uk :/

Your friends are all idiots.

Rock & Roll
Jazz
Blues
Hip Hop
R&B
Country
Disco

ALL created in the good old U.S.A.  The good bands from the UK are only good because they make it in the USA.  If they never make it in the USA, they're not considered good.

Other things the USA is better at than the UK:

Starting Wars
Ending Wars
Posting ridiculously obnoxious posts on smileysmile.net ( )
Making movies people want to see
making clothes people want to wear
inventing indoor plumbing
tooth care
Hot women
Rednecks, Homosexuals, Immigrants, Illegal Immigrants, Hillbillies, Cajuns, Texans, Liberals, Conservatives, etc. all living together, hating each other, but in general resisting the urge to kill each other.

Nothing quite as great or as bad as the USA, that's why the USA has had a bigger impact on the music of the world.  The only music we didn't pioneer that's worth a sh*t was pioneered before we existed. 

Apart from the African influence I'd say that America had quite a considerable musical influence from the celtic shores of Ireland.

Well DUH, but I don't see any Celtics that look like B.B. King.  Mute it all you want, the USA completely *OWNS* the music scene, and has for 100 years. 

"But... But"

But sh*t.  USA Rocks.

Historically, the most powerful places have had the strongest arts cultures - it has less to do with being genetically disposed or anything like that. It has to do with power and, now, wealth.

Did I say it was genetically disposed?  Did I say it was anything other than 'power' or 'wealth' ?  No.  All I said was that the USA owns sh*t. 

Denying that it has a genetic disposition is silly anyways, because the USA is the most diverse place on earth!  Everybody here is an immigrant or the descendant of an immigrant, of course there's no genetic disposition because there's no American genetic.

Neither. Brazil.

If we're talking about popular western music of the last 60 years, then I prefer to look at it this way. It was the USA that mined the diamond, and the UK that polished it.
