British vs US rock groups!!

[half]

if the internet has taught me one thing, it's that many people are very slow

Its very hard to tell who's the better one, USA or UK. The UK wouldve dominated the 60s and 70s, bands like Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Queen etc.

But the USA have the best grunge bands in the late 80s, early 90s. I'd say the best are Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, all from America.

Its funny how you compare USA and UK, but when you've got the one of the best rock bands in the world, AC/DC, they wouldnt make the list of USA or UK rock artists. So its pretty hard to choose between them.

If you compare Australia to USA and UK, you would still say UK or USA, cause Australia had some great talent but there werent that many that became successfull overseas. I think mainly AC/DC, InXs, Midnight Oil and Silverchair.

By the way, Crowded House were Australian, they moved to Melbourne from NZ after the Split Enz broke up, who the Finn brothers were part of.

The La 80's glam metal scene however was awesome!!

You had successfull groups like

- Ratt
- Motely Crue
- Poison
- Skidrow

etc..

These were just a few of the successfull bands the US produced in the 80's glam scene....

All these bands had Platinum albums and regular MTV & Air play

The Seattle era was massive for the US!!

That's Split Enz, not Crowded House. And nobody's ever tried to claim the Enz as anything but Kiwi.
I've got no problem with DCowded House being claimed as an Aussie band because they were formed in Melbourne, but NZ can claim them too as Niel Finn is definitely a Kiwi and he was the main member.

UK or USA? Niether, Norway's where it's at.

 

[ThrashViking]

I just noticed Alice in chains wernt on the list
Ive got some footage of Twisted Sister from Wacken 03-They looked like a bunch of trannys,They put on a great set though
