I bloody love America, its people and (a lot of) its music.
Also many of its TV programmes and films. They get many, many points from me for consistently producing great bands in the 90s while we were churning out the most creatively devoid shite in the history of the universe, then merrily ignoring cutns like Gallagher and Williams when they tried to sell records across the pond.

Morning sweetie

I agree with Darth here.
America consistently produced most of the best music of the 90s.

If Dozer and I agree on music it must be beyond contestation

I think you are referring to different bands though.

Ssssshhhhhh
Don't spoil the moment

different bands I think but the statement is still true.

Nah, Sleeper produced all of the best music of the 90's

Have you seen her now
Her face looks like a novelty candle that got left too close to a radiator.

Fuck yeah! I gave up standards four belt notches ago

They also produced Nirvana, which counts against them

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 4 Jul 2012, 10:45, Reply)

And Green Day

I guarantee you that for every 90s American band you can cite as an embarrassment,
I can come up with a much, much worse 90s British band.

Before we start I should point out that I get to use Oasis a hundred times.

Maybe true
But the Brits win with the 60's and 70's bands
( Peej, Wed 4 Jul 2012, 10:48, Reply)

Yeah, probably
but I didn't have to live through the music of the 60s and 70s and was able to revisit and cherry-pick at my leisure. I'm still considering suing Radio 1 for mental scarring inflicted during my teens.

This is a silly claim.

I agree with Sherlock

( Reginald Donkeyfuck, Wed 4 Jul 2012, 10:54, Reply)

Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd (shut up monty), Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, The Who,
etc etc
( Peej, Wed 4 Jul 2012, 10:55, Reply)

It's pointless listing a load of bands
I'm not arguing that either country is better than the other. My point is that, during that period particularly, there was a great bouncing back and forth of ideas and influences in both directions across the Atlantic, producing great results on both sides.

Yeh but the Brits were better.

Cast are worse than every band ever.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 4 Jul 2012, 10:54, Reply)

They were alright

If John Power was hit by a falling train that also took out a nursery school full of kids I would consider them collateral damage.
