Why Does Every British Band Have An "Influence" Section

>>74353567
brits don't have much to do except pat themselves on the back vicariously

>>74353647
especially when it comes to claiming responsibility for genres they didn't invent

>>74353567
Because Americans can't accept a British band as being successful unless they influenced a bunch of American bands.

Fuck yeah, Brits VS Yanks thread xD

Reminder that African-Americans like Robert Johnson, Chuck Berry, and BB King have far greater influence than ANY British band.

brits slurp semen

>>74353775
I'd say that The Beatles have more influence than anyone else, but yeah, they're very influential.

Reminder that white brits like Clapton, Page, Beck, etc blew those nigs out of the water

>>74353567

>The fact that so many books...

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia made by autists. they use their own autistic logic to build their site. it's extremely embarassing when anyone gives merit to that site as if it can truly be taken seriously. Like I literally mean it's made by fat losers who have extreme OCD and incredibly autistic personalities. I don't normally agree with Scaruffi but he is absolutely correct in this instance.

Are you having a stroke? Do we need to call 911 for you?

The fact that...

>>74353567
Because Americans are original and innovative while the Brits hop on the tails of our greats

>Beatles to Shirelles, Everlys, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, etc

>Rolling Stones and Les Zep to traditional blues men

We had people like Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Talking Heads, Pixies, Nirvana, Velvet Underground, Hank Williams, and Scott Joplin.

Brits wanna be us, like the rest of the world.

And why?

Just listen to American artists. They're always working the fundamental and elemental yet original and gritty.

>>74353819
Yeah because Clapton, Page, Beck more popular not because they actually contributed anything to the medium of any worth. Oh can you also go back to /pol/?

>>74353819
What he's saying is objectively true. Chuck, Johnson, and BB king are original while the others you mentioned simply aren't.

Also Clapton is blind.

Hendrix blows all of them out of the water except for maybe Page.

>>74355513
Clapton is bland*

>Yanks
but yankees didn't invent American music genres, it's all southern negros and rednecks

>>74355562
You don't know your music or American history buddy.

Irish people have had a profound influence on American music.
