Yes britishers exported Rock n Roll to the rest of the world when it started but actually gained fame in North America. USA has pretty much taken over the western music industry now. These days USA is the number one exporter of Music. Jazz, Rock, Metal, Alternative and punk..you name it, USA has the upper hand.

But i do agree that Britishers were the pioners of rock music. In my hay days i used to be a big Judas Priest Fan. I still listen to little Pink Floyd, Led Zep, David Bowie and few other Brits bands.

Kurt Cobain had the poster of Iron Maiden ih his room (It was one out of only 2 posters in his room). He started playing music with Beatles songs when he was a kid.

@Nalapani,

What's your point Nalapani. Do u know that Beatles are heavily influenced by American singers/guitarists/songwriters like Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard. John lennon used to worship Bob Dylan who happened to be great American poet/song writer/musician. Led Zeppelin was heavily influenced by American musicians like Howling Wolf and Muddy Waters.

I really didn't get your point.

Too much of commercialization and bigbudget is making harder for new talents and indie songs to come to scene. Its definately needed for artist to survive but you know..........

When we think about American music most of the time we think about hip hop stuffs where black people dancing around with scars, tapes and lockets. Although i do enjoy many of that song but I don't think it is the finest music.

I also feel in general british bands are better and sooting than US bands. Although there are greats bands in US. On current band i really like muse.

No Quiero,

I would not underestimate Blacks for their contribution in the modern music. I agree Hip/Hop (which is not my taste) is more like a lifestyle and culture than music but i give full credit for blacks for inventing Rock n Roll, blues, Jazz, Ragge and all. The legendary bands were all influenced by old timer black musicians. Elvis, Beatles, Eric Clapton, Led Zepplin all looked up to some black musician.

The only music whites have created is Line Dancing and Techno Trance....IMO

Whites learned music from the Blacks and made them popular. Similar to Ram Thapa and Kumar Basnet in Nepal.... collected the music created by Kaami, Damai in Nepal...and made their musc/songs popular.
