your favourite musicians, bands.. are they mostly american
or english? or 50%?

do you prefer english to american musicians?

where do you think is nowadays the best music produced?

is there any diference really between english and american
music?

ok.

I'm pretty much 50/50, when I was listening to metal and not
much else - like, 5-10 years ago - it would be 90/10 in
favour of the US. But most "IDM" I like seems to be UK
based. And amazingly some decent UK guitar bands have popped
up recently. I'm not really biased either way, and I don't
think there's that's much difference between the major acts
in genres these days. Maybe the Yanks are more obsessed with
themselves lyrically.

where music comes from its not really for music itself, I
mean I like it no matter it is from...

but it is nice to see if thinking about it we like more
british or american bands

But I don't think about it. That's just it. I mean, I know
where some artists that I listen to are from, but generally,
I don't really check into it that much.

Country of origin has nothing to do with musical talent. It
does however, have to do with oral hygene.

I've thought about this too.. America is so big compared to
the UK, but they seem to be stuck in some stupid electrical
guitar hell.

There are some notable exceptions to the rule, of course.

I think it's about 60/30/10, with 60% UK, 30% other European
countries and 10% US for me.

The US got the best contemporal composers though. Philip
Glass, Steve Reich and Terry Riley for example. Too bad they
get so much flak from the US media.

i'd say most of what i listen to is from britain, but
there's still a lot of us stuff i like, such as prefuse,
outkast, nin, philip glass, and of course the beatles.

just recently though it's been a lot of icelandic, such as
bjork, mum, and sigur ros.

btw, anyone know where godspeed you black emperor is from?

This is a tough one. I'd probably have to go for British but
I could be swayed to vote American. This is really tough
though but with the Detroit and Electro scenes smashing
British contenders its tight.

what do the english call "english muffins"? do they just
call them muffins? but then what do they call actual
muffins?

the same can be said with "canadian bacon".. do they just
call it ham? .. but then what do they call regular ham? is
there really even a fuckin' difference?

Though I don't really care where someone comes from, divying
up my all the artists I listen to, more of them come from
England/Britain/UK whatever you want to call it.

most of the music I listen to is from uk, then germany, then
canada, although theres some good american rock artists like
brad laner of electric company, projects he's been
associated with I also like so...
yea..

I think that country of origin does have a lot to do with
the music
I mean, cultures have distinct sounds in their music, chums
have to pawn their skills to different types of ladies :D

i don't understand why some people are acting hostile about
this. i don't think the purpose of this topic was to prove
the musical superiority of one race over others, but it is a
matter of fact that most of the big "idm" artists from the
uk.

i'm not sure of the country of origin of a lot of the music
i listen to, but from what i do know im sure that more is
from uk than any other country.

I listen to whatever I like, but it seems like most of what
I like comes from other places than the U.S., though not
restricted at all to the U.K. (oh and im the only one on the
board posting right now.. woohoo #1)
