Tis true. There are a few exceptions like the Fooeys and...and...and. Nope can't think of anymore tbh.
In the early 1970's I saw Queen supporting Mott The Hoople in the Caley Cinema in Edinburgh. Mott The Hoople and then Ian Hunter, Hunter/Ronson and the Rant Band were and remain brilliant. Quite like a couple of Queen tracks.
Isn't most negro music churned out by Americans? I don't like much rap music and the stuff I do is very old school (Run DMC, LL Cool J etc) and I can't abide any of that gangsta sh.ite. Motherf.ucking this Motherf.ucking that, blah blah blah my nigga, blah blah blah bitches, blah blah blah she's a Ho etc etc. And our contribution to this genre? Grime and Drill with pish like Stormzy. Some of the best rock music has come from the States, pretty much undeniable but you don't have to like any of it. Each to their own, and I don't mean incest.
Just up and might as well sling in a softie; this is not an ooooooh errrr missus! My fav. American 'rock' bands/artists through the years: The Byrds CSN &Y. Mountain - still my best concert in the early 1970's. Alice Cooper Nils Lofgren/Bruce Springsteen/ Little Steven/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers/Bob Seger. The Black Crowes Cheap Trick/REM Drive-By-Truckers SonVolt/The Jayhawks/Sons Of Bill I have probably missed out some which will pop into my bonce in due course.
Wtf are you and that nonce on about. You hink ****** music started wea hip hop? It started in the cotton fields and the churches ma man. My brothers took the gospel and made it funky. Praise be. Hallefùckingllua.
Please accept my apologies; should've included Mississippi John Hurt ....................Otis Redding ............Buddy Guy.....................Tamla Artists! Ooooopsie-daisy.......forgot Jimi Hendrix.
Alice Cooper Incubus Rage Against The Machine Guns N Roses Soundgarden Alice in Chains Smashing Pumpkins Audioslave Metallica Nirvana The Doors Creedence Chilli Peppers Green Day Little Richard Talking Heads Sonic Youth Pearl Jam The Beach Boys MC5 Sly and the Family Stone Frank Zappa The White Stripes The Byrds Jimi Hendrix The Pixies Bruce Springsteen BB King Chuck Berry Stone Temple Pilots Queens of the Stone Age Those yanks are ****e.
Just had a look around the racks and fingered the piles of CD's lying about my living room; could add another thirty or so bands/solo artists from North America whose music I love.
The O'Jays, Funkadelic, Isley Brothers, Kool and The Gang, Earth Wind & Fire etc ps Some great guitarists in among that lot but they tend to get overlooked because they're in soul/funk bands rather than rock bands.
