*rubs eyes* What? Ronny didnt include Ratt!! Rage Against the Machine is a tight Yank band too. Cant forget the Jimi Hendrix Experience & The Doors too. I'm gonna put my vote behind the Brits though. Lep, Led Zep, Queen, Beatles, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The Who, Pink Floyd. Clapton & Cream, Sting & The Police, Phill Collins & Genesis...u cant beat that.

Ratt where a great band but they didn't sell enough albums to be in such a list......like Poison/Skidrow etc.

I can't believe i forgot all about Jimi, The Doors, Police, The who, Genesis & Dire Straits.

Im leaning towards the brits now

Also throw in U2...as their British & Cranberries.

 

[MEE]

Isn't U2 from Irleand though?

The English line up looks much prettier.

 

[Le Rouge]

British have better old school stuff

Americans have better newer stuff from 90's maybe 80's onward

 

[SP]

what about Status Quo (british)

and Bee Gees are actually Aussies, they went to England when they were young

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Bee Gees where born in England....came to Ausralia when young then flew back there to launch their careers into the stratosphere!!

Similar to Mel Gibson.

 

[SP]

ok then,

because whenever i add them into my playlists for my radio show, i got told they are an aussie band so i put a tick next to thier name for Australian act

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Bee Gees first hits where actually in Oz!!....however to become big internationally they had to go to England which they did & done well!!

I had the pleasure of seeing the Bee Gee's in was it 99 or 2000 at stadium Australia....they where fantastic!!

I still have the ticket for ebay lol!!

radiohead has been the most critically adored rock band of the past 10 years

coldplay had the most prominent rock album at the grammys

the darkness are the 'it' band of right now

i'd say america

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

The Poms by streets.

Don't forget Slade.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Radiohead and Coldplay suck the fat one.

 

[half]

radiohead is cooool

ok computer is the best album of recent times

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

radiohead or Slade....

hahahahahahahaha

No contest.

 

[Once Dead]

UK has spawned some of the greats of all time........

The US has produced most of the modern greats..Gunners etc

I guess we shall know in about 10-15 years time and if we remember the US guys, like we do Queen, Floyd etc.......then they're on par...

 

[Dean Moriarty]

Also throw in U2...as their British & Cranberries.

Isn't U2 from Irleand though?

Yes they bloody well are...and so are the Cranberries. Stop nicking our Irish bands. :evil:

Next thing you'll be saying Crowded House were Aussies.[/quote]

 

[half]

yeah you irish band burgulars *shakes fist*

 

[ThrashViking]

No contest-the poms win (in terms of best rock bands anywho)

 

[fat_mike]

throw motorhead in for the brits.

lemmy is another rock god and one of the true great frontmen.

for me the bristish rock kicks the shit out of the us stuff.

alot of the metal and rock bands of today have to thank bands like led zepplin black sabbath and deep purple
