UK vs US

Since the 80s, the US
The 60's and 70's? The UK
Now it's a toss-up, but I think the UK is slightly better currently.

If we are talking rock, UK > US

Most everything else, US > UK

>>71388889
The one which has more artists I listen to

Rock - UK
Jazz - USA
Bleeps - UK
Hip hop - USA

>>71388889
Uk took Us music, sanitized it for the masses. Us wins because their music is more interesting, original, and most of all, genuine

>>71388916
lol
do you listen to any electronic music?
pards so naive

>>71388941
/thread

>>71388941
This basically

>>71388941
Does the UK even do hip-hop?

>>71388980
they try their best

>>71388889
The shit that comes out the US nowadays is pretty much unforgiveable

At least bullshit like 1975 is tolerable in its twee frivolity

>>71388947
electronic isn't real music

>>71388947
no, i listen to actual music

>>71388980
we have grime i guess

>>71389011
Is grime hip-hop?

>>71389078
One is dancehall made by Jamaican immigrants in the USA, the other is dancehall made by immigrants in the UK both take the Jamaican MC'ing style and adapt it to localised EDM beats.

>>71389120
>using the term EDM unironically

>>71388889
US and it's not even close. Rock, jazz, pop, blues, hip hop, metal, folk. Easily it's the US. The exception would be most subgenres of electronic music. The reason that the UK took the lead in bleeps was because of the huge influence they took from Jamaica in the latter half of the 20th century, which I personally prefer more anyways.

Are we forgetting Sweden? Sweden is the second largest music exporter in the world.

Decent bands ratio per population?

The UK stomps the US.

Otherwise, the best answer remains >>71388941

It's true. WUB WUB WUB UNTZ UNTZ SCREECH NOISES isn't music.

>>71389334
YouTube comments section down again?

>>71389257
And Japan, which has the second largest music industry IIRC

>>71389297
The best metal band (Black Sabbath) came from the UK, but other than a few bands (Iron Maiden, Napalm Death, early Diamond Head) they've had their thumbs up their ass since the late 70s. Rock is easily US as well, especially punk which people normally give to UK.

Germany > US = UK

>>71388889
The question is factitious because """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""British""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" pop music isn't British. It is 100% American music that was developed by and for Americans but gets imitated by British people. Rock, blues, hip hop, house, techno, disco, jazz, folk, R&B etc are all American musics. Radiohead makes American music. The Cocteau Twins make American music. Autechre makes American music. The Spice Girls make American music. There is no debate to be had; Britain doesn't actually create anything to compete against American music.

>>71389644
Delete this god-awful post, please.

>>71389644
American music is all African music via the proxy of human trafficking and slavery.

All you've got is country and blind faggot hicks in the woods playing banjo.

>>71389644
That literally doesn't make any sense you utter, utter mong.
Actually just die.

Everything the UK allegedely did well or invented (i.e. Punk, Progressive Rock) they stole from the Americans, who were much closer to the original soul.

UK rock music is incredibly over-rated, and third behind the US and Germany. Their classical and folk has been traditionally known as atrocious, at one point Germany called them "The Land Without Music."

>>71389820

UK has literally always been on the forefront of music. The only time the US edges out is with hip hop/rap

You literally cannot dispute this

>>71389820

Germany is infamous for being the only country to actively like the musical stylings of David Hasselhoff. What Germans call other countries when it comes to music is utterly fucking irrelevant.

>>71389820
And the land without Hitler or a fucking great dividing wall.

>>71389848
Pet Sounds is unironically better than everything you listed combined

>>71389686
>I can't refute you so I guess I'd better whine about slavery
American music isn't African music; it's the historically unique fusion of many different African and European folk musics that was originally developed in the United States. America is why jazz started in New Orleans rather than Newcastle or Kenya. America is why the electric guitar exists. America is THE progenitor of virtually all of modern pop music.

>>71389939

Is it fuck.

>>71389848
>The Beatles
Decent songwriters, featherweights thematically, hardly in the top 10 bands of their time period. Brian Wilson was much better.

>sex pistols
Punk was invented on the lower east side of new york and had been played much better by artists such as The Stooges and Patti Smith before Sex Pistols and a few other Brits tooks credit.

>bowie
Decent but overrated pop musician.

>David Byrne
Man copies african and funk rhythms and makes them soul-less and "ironic", meanwhile copy-ing the post-punk mannerisms of bands like Pere Ubu.

>Joy Division
are shit

>Radiohead
are shit

>Massive Attack
are shit and not even a footnote in the history of popular electronic

>UK Garage
Usually shit

>Electronic music
Primarily innovated by Germans and Frenchmen

>literally made genres that existed substantially better
Name one. The British Invasion was just watering down Rock n Roll to make it more acceptable for white audiences.

>created new genres of music

So did Indonesia and Peru. What's your point?

>>71389939

bowie = trend hopping, fame whore, coke head. zero artistic integrity
radiohead = faux avant garde pop rock, babbys first alt band

>>71388889

Rock - Germany
Jazz - Germany
Drum and Base super-genre - Germany
Classical - Germany
Electronic - Germany
Generative Music - Germany
Funk - Germany
Dance - Germany
Folk - I'm sure it's Germany somehow

I'm pretty sure the best music for the last 200 years was German. I can prove it to you!

>>71389999
And wrong as fuck
Also nice quints

My chuwawa usually sleeps in the garage so i let him in there a few minutes ago forgetting that i had placed a few mouse traps in there. the dog is still relatively young and has testicles the size of tennis balls. I mean they are bigger htan his head. Apparently he was dragging those monsters to close to a trap and it snapped right on his nuts. He's really angry right now and won't let me get close enough to help. He already bit me really hard and im bleeding pretty bad. I tried shooting him with a horse tranquilizer dart but I missed and it blew out one of my car's tiresl, so i can't drive to hte vet or anything. My plan right now is to have my 4 yr old approach it from the front to distract the dog while i sneek up behind him and club him with a tire iron. does anybody else have a better idea?

>>71390106
You care to attack my points?

>>71390161
not funny

>>71390203
Neither were you. I was countering your meaningless response with something of equal value.

>>71390282
holy shit you are sad

>>71390096
I can prove it to you...

Hans Joeachim-Roedelius , Conrad Plank, Conrad Schnitzler
Holger Czukay, Achim Reichel, Jaki Liebezeit
Klaus Schulze, Wolfgang Hertz
Michael Rother, Ralf Hutter, Florian Scheider
Edgar Froese, Dieter Moebius, Engler, Asmus Tietchens, Okko Becker
et. al

>>71388916
Strongly disagree with this, the UK has a solid Electronic music scene. Meanwhile the US is putting out far more interesting Rock music nowadays.

>>71388889
I'd much rather take Italy, France or Germany.
