Let's settle this once and for all:
Who has better music UK or USA?
>>63356035
Bhutan
US simply because of its size
USA. Though the UK has a music press that's better at selling every UK band as revolutionary. Like the Arctic Monkeys. Definitely ended up being a top 5 rock band of all time, right?
UK.
US has some pretty influential stuff but as far as constant quality? UK hands down
>>63356035
UK has the best good music to population ratio of the two
UK,even in a place far smaller, more worthwhile musicians and albums have been created here. Just look on rym and see how many of the top 100 are from here.
UK.
USA has no Stormzy, Skepta or Wiley ygm pham
Germany.
per capita? UK
>>63356243
>>63356126
>>63356066
even with the US's size the UK outshines it
> 1920's-1950's- USA
> 1960's-1990's- UK
> 2000's-Present Day- About Equal
>>63356035
They both are equal
In the U.S. you had nirvana
In the UK you had the prodigy
>>63356373
Yeah but the Prodigy have fox hunters in them.
Japan moshi-moshi desu!
>>63356434
is that your favorite japanese album
lmao faggot
>>63356434
Japan is filled with some of the most uncreative faggots
While the west was inventing and innovativing in music, Japan was just copying what the west was doing
>>63356035
I could live without my UK-based music.
Would have a harder time without my USA-based music.
Therefore, I'm taking USA.
But it's a silly thing to attempt to quantify given the fluidity of influence between english-speaking countries.
>>63356322
>20s-60s: USA
>65-75: about equal
>75-90s: UK
>2000s-today: about equal
>>63356528
>Japan was just copying what the west was doing
>>63356631
>what is kraftwerk
many other have said similar things
U.S. = 1920-50
UK = 1960-2000 (maybe the 90s I think that's more personal taste)
2000-Now = equally bad
On a whole USA kicks ass.
Per capita... Wyoming is grand & all, but fuck all people live there.
>>63356753
this
A better question would be New York or London.
>>63356631
What a plump juicy cherry you picked.
UK has better bands
US has better solo acts
>>63356838
Dude, how is that even a question? That's like asking LA or NYC.
20s-70s: USA
70s-90s: UK
2000-nowadays: p much the same
>>63356035
US created rock, jazz and blues.
Everything that the UK has done in popular music has been a reaction to what the US had first created.
And this is coming from an anon who isn't from either country. The US destroys the UK in this arena; it isn't even close.

What about EDM?
No question UK made superior electronic music.

You decide
>>63356928
the only thing that matters is who does it better
so UK
>>63356961
UK rave music was based off 70s-80s US club genres like house, disco, and techno. Not to mention Kraftwerk and the German electronic scene.
>>63356928
US might create it but UK perfected it
Not from either country btw
>>63356990
Name a single british jazz act that surpass 56-69 american bebop era.
I prefer chink music. Nothing beats engrish songs.
>>63356095
>mfw everytime I try and defend the Arctic Monkeys I forget that AM happened
God damn it they were so good back in 2005-2008
>>63356990
>the only thing that matters is who does it better
>so UK
Not really. If we want to be really specific here African American people have done more for popular music than any other group of people on the planet. A good case could be made for Jazz being the greatest high-water mark of artistry that a form of popular music has ever collectively realised.
Not only is the US so strong in this arena as a creative whole but the black citizens alone destroy the UK. We don't even need to add the white contribution into the fray: that is how badly the US outpaces the UK here.
>>63357082
who gives a shit about jazz
>>63356035
canada
:3
US didn't have Judas Priest
>>63357213
pretty much everyone that cares about music

>>63357299
I'm not white and I'm not even from the same country. Meme the pain away if you feel the need to but the truth subsists regardless of your frustration over it.
As someone from neither country I'd say that although the USA is responsible for the creation of most popular genres (even though genres developed through both countries) the UK has had a larger impact on music and culture from a direct point of view internationally. France wins now though.
>>63356631
Ymo intended to be a parody of the west from the start. Doesn't count and is the only (good) exception.
>>63357196
Fun fact: craftwerk invented hip hop
>>63357403
>France wins now though.
LOL
>>63357403
>France wins now though
Ponderous, this.
All music is just derivative from the lutecore genre of medieval England
Greensleeves is an absolute jam

>France wins now though.
>>63357466
all music is just derivative from the sound of a heartbeat and the rhythm of waves
pangean high tide was an absolute jam
>>63356845
idk what that means
>>63356725
>>63357409
i always just assumed ymo and kraftwerk jusy started at around the same time
>>63357608
The big bang was a banger

IN terms of quality UK
Also
>Austria
Every influential UK artist was great because of a US group or artist; the Beatles were mostly ripping off Chuck Berry, Beach Boys, and Frank Zappa; Sex Pistols were ripping off Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop, and non-American Jazz is an oxymoron.
>>63358099
Liam Howlett was inspired by american rock music when he went on tour there
people are getting tied up in influence and origins. In terms of just quality it's the UK. Sadly
