Cheers Si, sorry, i don't have their first one i'm afraid

In your opinion that is.

Yeah, but the thing with my opinions are that they are very rarely wrong (IMO  :wink: )

In no order

Green Day
Coldplay
Keane
Beatles
Erasure
Robbie Williams
Dido
Britney Spears
Spandau Ballet/Tony Hadley
Travis

Ayyyyyyyyyy?? how can u be correct when sayin 90+% of american music is poor? because i know loooooads of people who love music that americans basically brought to the UK.
English music is basically influeneced by american music anyway.

 :shock: Are you havin a laugh Fatbury? :)

Oasis
White Stripes
Stone Roses
Rolling Stones
The Smiths
Joy Division
The Music
Blur
Nirvana
The Beatles

I was going to make that point,without American music the music we have in England wouldn't be the same.As John Lennon said "Before Elvis there was nothing."

Currently my favourites are (not my all time top 10 - that'll take too long):

1. Queen (never moving from number 1  :king: )
2. Freddie Mercury (worthy of mention as a soloist  :king: )
3. Evanescence
4. Guns N Roses
5. Girls Aloud   8)  
6. No Doubt
7. Gorillaz
8. Europe
9. Madonna (Ray of Light era)
10. Lighthouse Family

No laugh Larwood

ive actually seen all 4 of those in concert

Oh shit, forgot the Stripes :shock:

SACRILEGE!

am i the only one who finds Meg White attractive?

And American's only speak English cause the English founded it - swings and roundabouts

Influences are one thing - but if the English take an American influence 90% of the time we do it better

There's too much demand for American music which means the shit is allowed in as well - whereas with demand for English music less, the shit gets weeded out and never makes it.

English Music: Quality not Quantity ______ American Music: Quantity not Quality

Yep, exactly  :wink:
I guess you could argue though that bands such as Green Day were influenced through The Clash (fact). But like you say, music was kick started through Elvis.

Not at all Fatters.  She is strangely alluring.

I would, no question

Na i find her quite nice to

Well as we are ALL entitled to our own opinion, i feel american bands have influenced british ones a great deal.
Without them, our music would be all boy/girl pop bands, which in my opinion would be extremely bad. Thank you Americans.
But thats all i thank them for. There a bunch of useless fucks otherwise.

The 10% of US music that's good would include Elvis as he is a legend, but IMHO the most popular US genres are Country and Western, RAP/R'n'B and Metal-ish stuff.  Convincing me that the best genres Dance and Indie are dominated by Europeans.

Rock and Roll anyway,from a white point of view too.Obviously before Elvis there was something{ i.e Black musicians playing rock and roll,gospel ,country,blues e.c.t,} Elvis with his great voice and image took Rock and Roll  to the masses.

I've not listened to a lot of Green day but they sound an awful lot like Stiff Little Fingers to me.

I would say that Brit bands have been more influential largely down to two groups

The Beatles
Led Zeppelin

Yep, i think their another band who influenced Green Day

But Green Day are a bit more heavier.
Im listenin to Tin Soldiers by Stiff Little Fingers now. Theres definetly a cent of Green Day in there  :wink:

Hey,i don't like Greenday though!,how insulting :wink: .I was just disagreeing with Mattboyslim when he said  that American music is no good,how can it be when  most modern music has its roots there? :)

Sorry Fatbury,i meant no offence,it was underhand and rude of me to question your choices , sorry mate  8)  :)
I'm obviously not laughing because The Smiths and Morrissey are my second and third choices :wink:

Rem
Nirvana
At the drive-in
Lee 'scratch' Perry
Jackie Mitoo
Otis Redding
Doves
The Clash
Oasis
Elbow

Ohhh ,drool....what a voice :).

He was the fuckin man alright, cut down before he could realise his full potential but left us all the more richer for having him on this earth nonetheless.

Yes a real tragedy :( ,its very sad to realize that he could have done so much more,the music he made was already so phenomenal what would he have done if he'd lived,another musical what if  :(

Just to fuel the debate....

Why's everyone including Oasis - reasonable songwriters and musicians but as performing artists their singing sucks.

And Liam's a knob as well as tuneless  :x


They don't deserve to be mentioned alongside some of the great names on here.

I think its because a lot of us,well some of us :-))(  were teenagers when they came along and they were the band that woke us up to some really great music ,as well as being a great band themselves of course.Its all about personal opinion,but i think they are a great live act,Liam is a true star,he owns any stage he is on 8)

johnny cash
beastie boys
bob marley
specials
kings of leon
wu tang
prodigy
radiohead
roots manuva
taskforce
ultramagnetic mc's

Larwood, so true, they were at they peak when I was 12-16 and they just gave the basis for the guitar music I like, I've since stepped back and got into the late 80s manchester scene that helped Oasis find fame the Stone Roses New Order etc.  Oasis were very influential on many people's tastes.

No order....

 1. Miles Davis
 2. George Freidrich Handel
 3. The Clash
 4. Kaiser Chiefs
 5. Joy Division
 6. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
 7. Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
 8. Augustus Pablo
 9. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
10. The Beatles.

Reg, you'd get on well with my dad, he loves Smokey.

is smokey the same one featured in monkey dust? ivan dobski's (the meatsafe murderer) favourite band.

the kaiser chiefs, reg? how could you......

 You sure that's not Smokie?

 I'll have to pass on the Monkey Dust question....I like the Kaiser Chiefs stuff so far....nothing wrong with a bit of pure pop for now people.

Smokey Robinson he likes.

 Not this lot...

   http://muzyka.kulichki.net/smokie/smokie_band2.gif

 Who could forget...the classic Living Next Door to Alice?   Well most people actually.

No Smokey Robinson!!!!!

Reg, the black guy right?

 Calm down, calm down.....in fact Smokey Robinson, threatened a law suit against the originally named Smokey, so they changed it to Smokie.

  He thought it might confuse his fans......now are you sure Ralphy.

Yes i'm sure!!!

A black guy with an afro!

It was a toss up between Smokey and Marvin Gaye....in fact this LP by Marvin would have to be up in any top ten Lp's list

I have a mixed taste in music...so in no order...

Oasis
Razorlight
Keane
Coldplay
Goldfrapp

1 Jehst
2 The Wedding Present
3 Blur
4 The Cure
5 Pavement
6 The Specials
7 Ride
8 Sonic Youth
9 Madness
10 The Jam

Madness and The Jam rule.  :wink:

Maybe

Dj Yoda
2 Many Dj's
High Contrast
At the drive-in
Bloc Party
Pendulum
Nirvana
My Vitriol
Muse
Jimi Hendrix

but I tend to listen to a lot of different stuff rather than much of the same stuff.

Don't think you can generalise American music too much, there's a lot of shite and some real good stuff.

Britain is strange in that there is a disproportionate amount of good music for the size of the place, although we have our fair share of shite.

As I once said there are really only two genres of music, good and bad.
PS. Robbie Williams and Dido are definitely in bad.

There's Freddie Mercury, and Roy Orbison, as pop/rock vocalists, then there's the rest.

Wouldn't argue with that., 100% true.  8)

For what it's worth;
 Neil Young
 Tom Waits
 Elvis Costello
 Stones
 Nick Cave
 Half Man Half Biscuit
 The Fall
 Billy Bragg
 Bob Dylan
 Ben Harper
 ..........may change tomorrow!

i jsut heard Hard Fi's albumn and its growing on me

I have been tempted to buy that but never have. Maybe when I am paid what I am owed I shall splash out

yeh, it's worth it !

My 10 in no particular order.

Oasis
Manic Street Preachers
Shed 7
Green Day
Inspiral Carpets
Elbow
Stone Roses
Mansun
David Gray
Hard-Fi

yeh i agree with most of those on that list just never heard of Shed 7 or Mansun ! They any good?

Massive favourite of mine!

Their first album got chewed in my old car's stereo though  :?

I'm off to do a bit of limewiring...

I've got their first 2 albums, one of my favourites. I can put them up if you like Sussex?

Shed 7, good choice as well Edinburgh.

That would be very much appreciated Bedford, the first one in particular!

No probs, I'll put them up later today  8)

Thanks  :D

'Wide open space' and 'Take it easy, Chicken' are currently being nicked off t'interweb. I've not heard them for years!

I've not listened to them for a long time either. That's the trouble when you have so many CD's, you tend to forget about the decent older stuff you have and only listen to the new stuff.

Wide Open Space is a great tune, as are Being A Girl and Stripper Vicar.

The first album was never off my car stereo, 'til it chewed up and died. Stripper vicar, She makes my nose bleed, Mansun's only love song..

Cheers Ed STFC for reminding me about this lot! (not relevent to this topic, but for the life of me I can't remember how/why we've got each others mob numbers!?)

Wide Open Space is one of my favourite songs of all time.

The album 'Attack of the grey lantern' still sounds utter class today.

You were texting me updates from a Town match a while back.  :roll:
