Been following a few threads on Led Zeps reunion and such, and was wondering what opinions you guys had on British Rock. Why is it that 90% of all the best and most influencal bands come from the UK?

Bahaha, I'm so dense. I thought this was going to be a thread about the lovely sweet stuff you get from the seaside

The Devil's Candy, my sadistic american dentist calls it.

Talking about rockers, I once met Robert Plant and mistook him for Noddy Holden.

90% hang on, that's a bit much,

what about AC/DC, guns n roses, The doors, Rage against the machine, QOTSA, White Stripes, Hendrix, Faith No more, Pearl Jam, etc etc the list goes on, which have been as influencial as Led Zep, Black sabbath, Rolling Stones

I do think maybe the US had more poodle rock possibly

Yeah, but most of the bands you listed, with the exception of Hendrix and Doors were influenced by earlier Brit bands!

sorry I thought you meant to still be influencial, not only the grandad bands

Maybe then cos they had Elvis and we had Cliff friggin Richard! and it was do or die....lol

Come lets not forget Pink Floyd. and the Clash, The Jam and the SEX Pistols

well there's loads more but I didn't have all day :P

British music has always been better and influenced other musicians. Brits emotion flows from the heart not the arse.

Nice list but what about any band from this decade?

British or American?

Artic monkeys, kasabian, manics, fratellis, Kaiser Chiefs

i think i did say white stripes and QOTSA????

You know when someone is getting old they lose touch which music.

Manics are surely more 90's, and i wouldn't class them as a rock band
