    But I think the best music comes from you guys. When I look at all the music I really like it comes from the U.K. Hell I can't even begin to list all the bands I grew up with and the ones I like now that come from the U.K. I can go from Pink Floyd to something like Simply Red and just like the hell out of it. Your musicians took rock rhythm and blues mixed it to together and made it work right. You musically invaded us in the early 60s and I remember it. And it's all been good. Rock on !

    Peace

    Yep, we are the much better than America! I prefer our music, but there are some good bands from other countries, just not many! :)

    i agree, english music is incredible.....well it was in the 60's and 70's especially. cant say im paticularly fond of the newer english scene like 00's stuff. Pink Floyd are the best band of all time by a country mile imho. :)

    I wouldn't go that far. The US has produced some giants of the music scene, e.g. Bob Dylan who really is one of the key figures of modern culture. And the "British Invasion" of the 60s was largely a matter of us re-packaging American rhythm'n'blues (not to be confused with R&B, kids) and selling it back to you. Hell, the Stones even took their name from a Muddy Waters song.

    Cheers fella, I'm proud to say you're right, our music does have a certain flare to it. Floyd were special. I have to agree with what a few have said on here though as well, you've come up with some pretty amazing flavours of your own.

    look deeper again, and the undreground music scene in britain is even more special, especially if you like psychedelic trance.

    that, i must confess, is true. you guys have more reason to escape than we do, and less room in which to do it. ;)
