A Great Big Thank You to the Britons!

Postby Scorpiоn » Mon Mar 13, 2006 8:17 pm

For giving us so much good music!  I'm beginning to think most of the music in English I listen to comes from the UK.  Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, Overseer, Dubstar.  I'm always slowly discovering new music, and it almost always turns out to be British.  Maybe Britons sing better. :)

I'll be sure to target one particular member of the Jackson five ASAP! ;D

But at least they were pleasant to look at. :D :-*

The Beatles started it in the mid-1960s. It was called the British Invasion. Up to that point 'pop music' was mainly US infuenced. Strange as the British groups were heavily influenced by US music & musicians. It's a funny old world. ::) ;)

 Right.  It was the music of Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and others in that era that influenced them. 8)

Hate to be a "British" Party Pooper but you can't forget Ireland.  The Boomtown Rats, U2, Van Morrison (So what if he's Northern Irish?)...  ;D

Nothing wrong with Irish bands. You forgot Thin Lizzie.

PS. Van Morrison never did anything for me. I must be missing something. ::)

Don't forget the more recent contributions. Radio Head and Muse. I know Radio Head haven't done much lately, but I've just discovered how awsome they are and can't get enough.

I love Sir Bob, you probably hate him due to Live Aid and Live 8.  I myself love the Boomtown Rats.
