Tooj 17 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Think US rap has the edge over the UK like....just. I was thinking the same. Although that's quite clearly not music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22035 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Stevie, your average bloke who, as HF put it better than me, doesn't read the music press, a conversation about music goes like this: What sort of music do you like? Bands. Like guitar bands. But like what though? Oasis, U2, that kind of thing. They're just the go-to bands for your generic British male. Theres nothing wrong with that, but it's true. I loved U2 from when I was a bairn loved their sound, there was a time when nearly everything they released was mint. Whether the generic male jumps on that, that's fine. The difference is U2 rose to the top because they were amazing and unique. People are missing my key point here as well, and this is that Kings of Leon are pathetically dire and shite as pointed out by many others, yet are loved by generic can't think for themselves people when there are 10000 better bands than them. Everyone thinks they're mint so they must be. To me liking KOL over Oasis and U2 is as twisted as preferring paedophila to sex with a porn star. Fucking hell, are you genuinely that het up over this or just pissing with us. I can never tell with you Stevie. I liked Oasis's first two albums, although they were very derivative, but thought they went downhill from then on. Despite being part of my formative years I have never got into U2 - they just bore the shit out of me for some reason. I can see that they are quality at the same time though, if that makes sense. As for KoL, think I only own Youth and Young Manhood, which I think personally is spot on and an original sound. But tbh I'm not that into any of the three bands being discussed here. You can't quantify the quality of music (unlike football), it's purely personal taste, so no point getting wound up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22035 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 British music pisses on yank music anyway, always has done, always will do. I don't know like Stevie, by that I mean it's daft to use the nationality of the artists as much of a yardstick when both countries have produced some sensational music and some absolute dross. Both have been at the forefront of most 'modern' music as well, i.e. movements since the start of the last century, especially the USA. It's daft arguing about what is essentially just a matter of taste anyway. Both shit over europop anyway, sorry Meenz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43223 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Has to be said mind, Oasis are utter chinsplash. Says the Otis Redding fan. A wee snippet of my "Rock" tastes then; Led Zeppelin Hendrix Black Keys Zappa Stooges All of which could show Oasis a thing or two about Rock, but that's just my opinion. And Otis v Liam?

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) British music pisses on yank music anyway, always has done, always will do. Always has done Popular music is largely derived from American music you daft monkey. American music has been one of the greatest contributions to culture, it has been adopted the world over. We've got our literature, they've got the tunes. They had Muddy Waters, we had George Formby. There's no fucking contest. But given that you actually have no clue about music, and listen to pish like Robbie Williams, whilst saying people are brain-dead cunts for listening to something else, it isn't surprising that you'd come out with such a steaming pile of shite.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Gemmill is spot on. My brother owns 3 cd's altogether. Oasis The Lighthouse Family The Spin Doctors To be fair, the likes of U2 and Oasis (and KOL) are probably the best music that gets into ther charts, so it's all that blokes that don't read the music press have to go on. This is fucking bollocks as well. I've never read a single music paper in my life. Where's the Zappa quote on rock journalism? "Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read." If you have a genuine interest and curiosity in music, with the internet there's nothing to stop you from indulging it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
