Yeah I saw it on your location and I'm kinda shocked. I was sure you were Australian...

I probably said this already here, my favorite british band is Oasis. What's the story morning glory, is in my top 5 of albums ever.

But american rock have my heart.

Is it really a question???come on American of course

Britian much dominates rock from 60s-70s, than it became equal in the 80s, leading us to dominating rock in the 90s-00s. You guys have radiohead tho

[yoda you can call me]

Boyzone and Takethat tho

[dead prez]

Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nirvana tho...


I think there are way too many incredible artists to say one of them "dominated" another.

If you're agreeing with me those guys are 90s bands which the US pretty much had a stronghold on, obviously great acts came out britain that time not just radiohead. Just like during the 60s-70s we had TVU, The Ramones, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix but when most people think of "dadrock" (basically boomer rock) a good 80 percent (probably more) are British bands. They don't call it the great british invasion for no reason, lol

[dead prez]

I forgot them but I love one of their albums. This really just isn't far to Britain regionally since America is just too fucking huge geographically and as a result is gonna have a ton of sounds coming from all directions, this doesn't really matter any more since we have the internet now but I feel this even extends to British Hip hop was just now a growing and prosperous scene but is pretty much just 90s boom bap revival with a slight tinge of really dark east coast hip hop (think mobb deep). If you wanna compare American music than have it be against all of western europe or something, lol.

I dunno about metal I always thought it was dominated by Germany lol (yes because of the nazi skinhead stereotypes...)

England also has trip hop & shoegaze but yeah.
