I don't put hip hop and artist in the same sentence...

But anyway, overall, I would have to go with the UK, even though a lot of what they first offered was regenerated Southern Delta Blues and heavy influence from early American R&R & R&B. Would we have had a Beatles or Stones without Chuck Berry or an Eric Clapton (Yardbirds/Bluesbreakers/Cream)without Robert Johnson or Muddy Waters??

Well most of them are dead if by "relevant", you mean still going out and selling records

Their influence is still most definitely "relevant"

The UK had better bands. The US had better individual artists.

How many am I missing?

Billy fricking Joel.

Though Elton John is better than almost all of those listed.

The mere fact that you include "Hip Hop" in your argument for the US being superior only makes me want to say "3 million miles" now.


The fact that you wrote this renders your opinion meaningless, imo.



Agreed, this statement show's that Shadeaux is ignorant, nothing to see here.

Bobbyray, you may catch some hate on this board, but I find myself agreeing w/ most of your posts.

that's just dumb, sorry. I don't even like a whole lot of hip hop and rap, but to say they aren't musically talented is just ignorant and misinformed.
