What are the differences (aside from the obvious. Cause from what I hear TV in the UK is a lot better, though I could be wrong... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh.. have u noticed that most of the BEST music in many different genres (both present and past) seems to come exclusively out of the uk? AND the make Aston-Martins..:) (aston martin vanquish v-12 is the nicest car ever) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No it isnt! Well... in my opinion its far from. The UK may have some better music, but not all, lots of good music comes from all over the world. The only one to be able to FULLY answer this question would be someone that lived in both the UK and the USA for some time.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well ok maybe i was exagerating a little.. yes im sure theres good music all over the world but uk is still ahead of just about any other individual country i think (definity in terms of rock and electronica...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw what car could possible beat the vanquish?!? ahah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

"Cause from what I hear TV in the UK is a lot better" you shouldn't watch tv. or at least don't believe anything that comes from tv. i have no opinion though. "lots of good music comes from all over the world" sorry i'm quoting all of you here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats ok. Simply put, most countries are good or better for reasons that others dont have. So it would all be relative. The Macleran F-2 coming out.... Lambourghini Diablos Back to it though.. uh.... TV? I watch maybe like 3 tv shows. So I dont know much about that. |

most of the music genre's seem to go go to US and end up tinged with rock...Jazz Fusion,Industrial, Electronica, Techno you name it..and that's not necessarily a good thing Rock is big in US, especially in the vast expanse that is the middle America.. |
||||||||
|

|
|
sorry this Duble0Syx was talking about tv and i was being stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. Rock is big in the US, but there are obviously so many underground scenes, or not so popular stuff that im sure we would all enjoy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, if I was to list my top 10, or even 20 probably, each album would be from someone from the UK... great great music comes from there, and I want to live there... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well at least go on vacation there so I can buy lots of good cds... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's the good thing about US... it soo big :) there are several layers even to the underground... yeah plenty of cool, nasty, noisy stuff goes on, but once again it is usually wrapped around rock structures... Canada's the place for higher tech cutting edge stuff :) ps: I was actually surprised to hear that Richard Devine's hard cold, harsh, stuff comes out of sun drenched Miami..I lived in Miami/Ft Lauderdale for 2 years.. never inspired anything like that in me (hehehe |

Soon as I get out of college, or maybe even FOR college for a semester or two, I'm going to England, and I ain't coming back. I have Brit in my blood, I don't belong over here. |

Having watched American and British TV, I can say (sorry if this sounds prejudiced) that British TV is better, not only in terms of quality of shows, but general production values and editing. I'd say that Britain and the U.S. are fairly equal musically, although a few years ago your music charts had far better songs in them. I think in terms of literature we are fairly equal, or possibly the US has the edge: Dalton Trumbo and Chuck Palahuick AND Henry Miller -who have we got (had)? Shakespeare, who is vastly overated. I was considering moving to America post university to work in my Cousin's company, because the quality of living is so much higher. I don't feel so strongly about doing it now though, I think I'd prefer to live in southern france for a bit and get a job as a remote network administrator in about 10 yrs. time. Ophecks: Mail me when your thinking about coming over to Britain. |

Oh BTW, I think in terms of size of population there is more creative output in the UK especially in videogaming. |
||||||||
|

hm.. everyone wants to be somewhere else... |
||||||||
|
|

UK is obviously putting out some seriously good stuff but all the good hip-hop comes from the states. And Japan has been and still is putting out the best in video gaming. The goods from all corners of the Earth! |
||||||||

I'd don't think I'd want to live in japan. I find japanese people to be too work obssessed (no offence intended) and I don't think I'd fit into their culture. Although their food, Art and Videogames are very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

And I used to do judo (which is japanese). |

"Although their food, Art and Videogames are very good" haha, food, art and vidogames: the 3 most important components of any society..hehe |

I am originally from England and I must say I miss British TV and good pubs! |
||||||||

I'd like to go to England next year, but it looks like I'll be stuck here one more year... this is still my first year of college, so hopefully I might go over for my third. And after I graduate, I'm POSITIVE I'm going over there, I have to! I really hate North America. BTW Ceri, I'm listening to Shaokahn right now. ;-) |
||||||||

I wouldnt want to go to England, so many of my friends and family have been there, they said it was fun, but was pretty boring in general. |

Electro/HipHop came from U.S. House from Chicago I think Techno from Detroit I think Drum&Bass came from Bristol, UK Electronica comes from everywhere doesn't it? The commercial pop coming out of the UK now and for the last 12 years is utter shite!! I miss the days when Duran Duran, Human League and Depeche Mode were in the charts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm v good points about detroit and chicago... so many europeans makin cutting edge house and techno that you forget where it all began... um what's Brighton like? I am really obsessed with all the artists and music comin out of no-future studios...creepy dark powerful and totally wigged out..what kinda city is Brighton? and btw..most of the shite clutterin UK pop charts seems to be comin out of Ireland and US aint it? |
||||||||

Most of my records are from the UK, only a few are from the USA. But most of my television content is from the USA. So the two countries are equal for me. |

All the good TV and films come from the US, and all the good video games come from Japan - that's what I think! |

There's a great I find appealing about the UK, but I'm not sure if I would want to live there...same thing with Japan. I suppose I couldn't really judge without first having spent some time there just to scope things out. Also, I think people have a tendency to look at distant and interesting places to live and to some degree romanticize them while forgetting that with a little digging, good can be found most places. Of course, sometimes a change of scenery is excactly what a person needs, so I suppose I'm just rambling at this point. |

flea Brighton is cool (not a city though). I lived there 91-95 while at uni. It has the highest number of clubs except for London in the sounth of England. and some of those were underground too. Saw loads of good DJs... Dave Clarke, Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Christian Vogel etc I also discovered Aphex while down there |

I know of Flamenco and can recognize what it looks like. I think it's pretty well known. After all, all the gypsies are into Flamenco. Anyone seen 101 Rekjavik (sp)? |

good "black" music comes from America, or is inspired by American music. good "white" music comes from Britain, or is inspired by music. good "latino" music comes from...hell, i don't know shit about latino music. happy hardcore is mostly pretty bad wherever it comes from. good cichlids come from africa and central and south america. massively over-simplified cliches but enough truth to argue over. ... i know, the way you are supposed to talk on messageboards is this sucks, that sucks, you suck, everything i have decided to like is perfectly good...end of arguement. blahblahblah. people that suck come from all of the whole world. |

Not exactly a part of this discussion necessarily, but much good music and art in general comes out of Canada. |
||||||||
|

Canada is like a suburb of America. Nice pretty place, lots of widely spaced out white people. |
