oh and good brit jazz in 60's and 70's. before and after that though i couldn't really say.

Sometimes I think because America is so vast people find it it easier to reinvent themselves whereas England is a class conscious society that is only a small island. Its harder to escape your class in this country. I think that does have an affect on artistes. Thats why we have folk like Gilbert & George and you had guys had Jeff Koons. Yeah I know it is a crude generalisation and is off topic, but I am sure I am making a point here.

Gilbert's German I think.

Are you thinking of fusion and improv? I love a lot of that stuff but that's pretty much the only British 'jazz' I can think of.

Now if it is just down to point scoring, Europe kicks your arse.

i agree skot if yr limiting the argument to rock music from like 64 to 84 or w/e it's very very close but if it's 20th century it's just not even close

that's what i was just thinking! 64 to 84 is total brit supremacy. then everything goes to hell.

scott seward, Friday, 25 May 2012 00:25 (fourteen years ago)

scott seward, Friday, 25 May 2012 00:26 (fourteen years ago)

can america claim motorhead, ac/dc? esp. if band members are now US citizens?

Well the economy is fucked again, so there might be some period of greatness again. There are people who want a 300ft statue of Lee Brilleaux in Southend.

Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Friday, 25 May 2012 00:58 (fourteen years ago)

that's a great idea tbh
