British artists vs. American artists?

Most of my favorites are American.

BQ: Tool

BQ2: The Cure

BQ3: The Tea Party

BQ4: Karnivool (Australia)

BQ6: Sevendust aka 7D

BQ7: I dig it. ;)

Definately British; My top Bands are 1. Oasis, 2. Beatles, 3. Stones, 4. The Who, and love Rod Stewart, The Kinks, etc.

BQ: The White Stripes

BQ2: Oasis

BQ3: Barenaked Ladies

BQ4: AC/DC (Australian)

BQ5: Bob Dylan

BQ6: U2

BQ7: The Black Crowes

If you don't venture much outside the Western popular canon, then you're likely to say British, and indeed they had a great scene going there in the late 60's/early 70's with the diversification of pop/rock music.

I'd go with American though, mainly because of jazz. It also has the blues, soul/r&b/funk, etc.

BQ: Miles Davis (Kind of Blue lineup)

BQ2: King Crimson

BQ3: Harmonium

BQ4: Beethoven, Germany

BQ5: Fairport Convention, not counting prog-folk like Jethro Tull and Strawbs

BQ6: 10cc

BQ7: The Allman Brothers Band

1. The Doors

2. Led Zeppelin

3. Rush

4. AC/DC

5. Simon & Garfunkel

6. Third Eye Blind (close to a number)

7. .38 Special

And I'd choose British even though there are still some very key bands that were American.

Out of my top 10 only three of them are American. The rest are Canadian and French and British. My top 3 bands are British! I love music from both countries but I tend to favor the british bands.

BQ: Owl City

BQ2: Muse

BQ3: Wolf Parade

BQ4: Phoenix

BQ5: Sufjan Stevens

BQ6: Deadmau5

BQ7: Ehh...

:]

I don't really think British bands are more talented than American bands, but most of my favorites are British. so yeah. British bands.

Either Talking Heads or The Velvet Underground.

Right now it's The Smiths.

Ummm..Metric

Sigur Ros

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young are pretty cool.

Nine Inch Nails, I guess.

50s: America

60s: British

70s: British

80s: British

90s: American

00s: American

10s: American

60s and 80s are pretty much tied though

I'd go with American artists overall

BQ: The White Stripes

BQ2: The Beatles

BQ3: Godspeed You! Black Emperor

BQ4: Tame Impala (Australia)

BQ5: Fleet Foxes

BQ6: Spacemen 3

BQ7: It's okay

I don't know whether I'm trying too hard not to be biased but a large majority of the bands I listen to are American.

BQ: Queens of the Stone Age

BQ2: Enter Shikari

BQ3: Billy Talent

BQ4: That's tough, but Vieux Farka Toure is a singer/songwriter from Mali and he is seriously amazing.

BQ5: Does Bon Iver count?

BQ6: I can only think of Sum 41 and Blink 182, I'm not a massive fan of either of them.

BQ7: No.

Overall, my personal list has more American acts, but i dig the Brit music of the 60's-70's.

1 - Allman Brothers Band

2 - Led Zeppelin

3 - Rush

4 - Bob Marley / Jamaica

5 - Bob Dylan

6 - Old 97's

7 - Allman Brothers Band

Overall I'd say American bands have been more influential.

My favorite...

American band - Primus

British band - Led Zeppelin

Canadian band - Rush

Other locale band - Scorpions

Folk artist - Arlo Guthrie

# band - Three Dog Night

Southern rock - Lynyrd Skynyrd

My musical listening primarily sticks to American artists. I don't really prefer one over the other.

BQ: The Velvet Underground

BQ2: The Fall

BQ3: Godspeed You! Black Emperor

BQ4: Midori, from Japan

BQ5: Nick Drake

BQ6: 12 Rods or Spacemen 3
