Re: My theory about music. Prove or disprove
Isn't it time to ban music threads from OOT completely? Just like tipping threads, every time I see one I think "Bollocks, no! Some wanker wants to do this again?"
Cheerio.

[ QUOTE ] Nobody's mentioned two great, great American bands yet. Allman Brothers Lynyrd Skynyrd [/ QUOTE ] That's because both of those bands are extremely mediocre. [/ QUOTE ] OH GOD NO.

Re: My theory about music. Prove or disprove

[ QUOTE ] Well, perhaps we need to parameterize the discussion a little bit... Let's just say, during the years, 1967 - 1980, living in the U.S.... the best bands were British... and the best solo acts were Americans... Hmmm... I would agree with the "band" portion of the statement. In fact, I used to play a little game to prove my point. You name me a great American band from that era, and I would name the better british counterpart. Ready? It would go something like this: Aerosmith -- Led Zeppelin ZZ Top -- Black Sabbath Boston -- Deep Purple Doors -- Yes Jefferson Starship -- Pink Floyd Rolling Stones -- Beatles ( lol ... hopefully, you get the point... ) As for individuals though, I think the Brits still get the edge... Billy Joel -- Elton John Iggy Pop -- David Bowie Bob Dylan -- Chumba Wumba my brain is fuzzy ... can't think of much more... [/ QUOTE ] Your brain is fuzzy indeed. First, the Beatles and Rolling Stones are both british. Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith are not from the same era. Neither are Black Sabbath and ZZ Top, and it's a huge stretch to call them counterparts. [/ QUOTE ] Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith are from the same era. You are fooled because Aersmith has hung around for years making crap but all their best music is was made in the time Led Zeppelin was active.

[/ QUOTE ] lol -- i know they're both British... get it??? Ok. not so funny... Led Zeppelin debuted in 1969, Aerosmith in 1975... There's a little bit of career overlap there. Black Sabbath debuted in 1968, ZZ Top in 1969.
