NJS 3981 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 British music pisses on yank music anyway, always has done, always will do. Always has done Popular music is largely derived from American music you daft monkey. American music has been one of the greatest contributions to culture, it has been adopted the world over. We've got our literature, they've got the tunes. They had Muddy Waters, we had George Formby. There's no fucking contest. But given that you actually have no clue about music, and listen to pish like Robbie Williams, whilst saying people are brain-dead cunts for listening to something else, it isn't surprising that you'd come out with such a steaming pile of shite. Depends on your cut-off date though - American music has roots in Irish/Scottish folk as well as obviously an African influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It doesn't depend on your cut-off date. American music has been more widely adopted than the music that influenced it. What you're pointing out really is that nothing creative exists in a vacuum, which is an axiom. You could trace back influence to a neanderthal smashing a rock if you were a sad bastard.

Still a tempting option though if you've nowt but KoL on the old ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Gemmill is spot on. My brother owns 3 cd's altogether. Oasis The Lighthouse Family The Spin Doctors To be fair, the likes of U2 and Oasis (and KOL) are probably the best music that gets into ther charts, so it's all that blokes that don't read the music press have to go on. This is fucking bollocks as well. I've never read a single music paper in my life. Where's the Zappa quote on rock journalism? "Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read." If you have a genuine interest and curiosity in music, with the internet there's nothing to stop you from indulging it now. Replace the word "press" with "media" in my post and you wouldn't be disagreeing then....which is how I assumed it would be interpreted. I don't read any of the music press myself either, I exclusively use the internet to find new music. Unlike you and Frank Zappa, I'm not conceited enough to think that makes me any better than someone that uses Jazztimes or Bass Frontiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloopJohn 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If you haven't started investigating classical music and you're over 30 there is no hope for you. Last night I was rocking Philip Glass, Ludovicio Einaudi, Chris O'Reilly, Leonard Bernstein and Eluvium. Pucka Piano. pretty much the oasis', u2s and kols of modern classical then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I love about people who believe they're an authority on a subject, is how fuckin patronising they become regardless of age, gender, location or creed. Oh dear at the post and music before the 50's, I'll reply properly tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember putting videos up of him skinning his dog in the garden was quite skillful. He voted for me as best poster on NO as well, so he was a canny lad.
