Count the album sales,The beatles,Stones,led zeppelin, alone blow away all the groups u mentioned,but I like all the groups u mentioned as well.Britan rules.Rember the British Invasion?Yankees love British Rock.

Count all the speakers Bose has sold.............does that make them the best sounding speaker available---not by a long shot

I think British rock is great and Led Zeppelin is the best band ever!!!!! But, they (the British) hardly dominate.

You need to get a little perspective there, Rubin

Well I look at the world wide impact(popularity) of British rock and see domination, particulary in classic rock era ,Hey that's where rock lives.But thanks H9, I respect ur comments.Above those of Shack(hehe)

Sure, some of the brit bands made it big a long time ago ( How many in this decade are worth a **** or even known here now ? ) ....but its more of the sun shines on a dog's **** every once in a while then domination. :rolleyes:

Besides, it's hard to think of domination pertaining to the UK when you see the map of the world through our eyes.

Yeah, but you're looking at a very narrow slice.............the slice that reinforces your opinion. There was a lot of music before the British invasion and there has been a lot during and after.

It's like saying Picasso was the greatest artist that ever lived. IMO, it's not possible to pick a singular person, style, or country for anything like music, arts, literature, etc and say they are the best. Too many styles, and other influences in the equation.

A narrow slice, to be sure,perhaps I should have specified the classic rock era a slice that I believe has had a greatest impact on the behavior of society than any other era ?That says something of it"s popularityy doesen"t it.

Well put.
Another thing to consider is record lables/marketing. The Beatles were a cash cow, a lot of effort was put into milking it for all it was worth. Not to detract from the talent that was definitely there, but the Brits were just the hot thing at the time. I think this has as much to do with the "British Invasion as anything. It was what the market wanted, and the studios delivered.

heiney9

Yeah, Elvis, The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Motown, Sun Records and countless others............they were just blips, and had no impact on our society :rolleyes::rolleyes:

That is a valid point,but we all loved the Beatles sound which expanded when they broke up.

I was being sarcastic......hence the "roll eyes" faces. Interesting discussion though. I like many of the classic rock bands myself..........but they aren't "the" best ever.

Why does it always have to be this "thing" rules over that "thing". That is the very description of narrow minded thinking. Ford made some good cars, Chevy made some good cars, Dodge too, Honda yes, Toyota, yes. Point is, who gives a rats hairy a$$? Yes Britain produced some great bands as did the USA Canada Australia and piles of other countries. Was every great British band influenced by American rock and roll? Probably. And many American bands were influenced by the British invasion. What does it matter? ALL GREAT MUSIC RULES!!! Put on a record or cd and quit quibbling over a subject that is moot. Don't spend my 2 cents in one place.

And you were a blip for an evening.

BOZO listed.

Talk about a bit of bad union jack flag waving luck, I have 4 tickets to see Def Leppard in Reno this coming Thursday....and 3 hours ago they just announced they were cancelling the third leg of their 2009 tour :eek:

" Just as the third leg of their 2009 tour was about to begin, Def Leppard is stopping the music.

A statement on the band's Web site says they're canceling their dates, starting with Oct. 22 in Reno, Nev. "due to unforeseen personal matters." And, they say "life's commitments need to be the priority."


The tickets didnt cost me a dime, they were a comp from the Eldorado casino/hotel...and I just saw them for the second time in san jose a couple of years ago....but damn bad juju there :mad:


I was looking forward to seeing the opening band though....Cheap Trick ....guess that just means more alcohol and gambling

You start a thread with the obvious intent to sir up the crap and the have the gall to say George has a low IQ? he was only stating the obvious, meaning your stay here will be short lived and that your welcome has ran out.

If you had even 1% of his brain power you wouldndt have even started this useless thread. :rolleyes:
