| America Vs Europe
Some genres I picked out of the air and whether America or Europe wins.
Isn't meant to be totally accurate it's just for discussion. Also interested to
hear who u think wins in other genres. | | 1 |  | Ramones
Ramones
PUNK - proto-punk was an American thing MC5 but america was influenced by the British
Invasion (Kinks), UK had pub rock which was a catalyst for punk there, hard to call but probably
a win for America overall ? | | 2 |  | Opeth
Still Life
METAL - Cream's unison riffing, Black Sabbath, Priest, NWOBHM, German thrash, Black Metal &
excellent Scandinavia stuff vs glam metal, Megadeath Metallica and thrash, power metal, doom,
Nu-Metal. Probably a win for Europe. | | 3 |  | Yes
Fragile
PROG - Europe had the big guns in the past in the UK and Italy and most new prog releases come
from Europe and Rush are Canadian anyway, easy win for Europe | | 4 |  | Hank Williams
40 Greatest Hits
COUNTRY - no contest, America wins, but is it one you'd want to win ? | | 5 |  | Pixies
Surfer Rosa
ALT Rock - USA 'college rock' & REM vs The Smiths, then grunge USA vs Britpop. I dunno too hard
to call. Needs an expert to decide. | | 6 |  | Johann Sebastian Bach
Violin Sonatas
CLASSICAL - this is unfair bcos Europeans were chucking out stuff before America was even
colonised, but an easy win for Europe anyway | | 7 |  | blink-182
Enema Of The State
POP PUNK - no contest really, it's an American thang isnt it | | 8 |  | B.B. King
Blues on the Bayou
BLUES - originated in USA, ragtime, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughen, Hendrix, Johnson vs Green,
Clapton, Beck, Gallagher. Sheer historical roots have to award this to America. | | 9 |  | Kraftwerk
Computer World
ELECTRONIC - Moog & mellotron in early UK prog, Ultravox and 80's snyth pop, electronic
dance music, Europe all the way | | 10 |  | Nas
Hip Hop Is Dead
HIP HOP - who cares, oh well America is the winner obviously | |
menawati

10.22.12 | I'll take Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Alice In Chains over fucking brit pop any day | menawati
10.22.12 | so alt rock america win then, ye probably its true | Evreaia
10.22.12 | Europe, just because Europe | Trebor.
10.23.12 | Smiths rule and all but American alt rock rocks so much harder with Dino Jr. and Pixies and Sonic Youth and what not | scissorlocked
10.23.12 | nice list
| toxin.
10.23.12 | if you're gonna give classical to Europe might as well mention jazz for America | menawati
10.23.12 | too late but ye u right | menawati
10.23.12 | but europe wins on trad celtic folk | ChuckyTruant
10.23.12 | 'MERICA | menawati
10.23.12 | merica wins for limp commercial AOR | tarkus
10.23.12 | "but is it one you'd want to win ?"
go fuck yourself | Ignimbrite
10.23.12 | idk about black metal, I think that the USBM scene has been generally stronger than the European scene in the past few years. | menawati
10.23.12 | sorry tarkus, u like country ? | tarkus
10.23.12 | country rules | menawati
10.23.12 | well, maybe some does | tarkus
10.23.12 | yeah real country does not 'country' that isnt really country | menawati
10.23.12 | what do u say is real country then, i mean some alt-country is ok, cash is good, dark americana stuff can be ok, some bluegrass, what else ? | tarkus
10.23.12 | like pre 1985 ish when country was actually country and not just watered down pop music
so thats gonna be your hank senior, george jones, buck owens, merle haggard, cash, steve earle, charlie daniels (country rock that sounds a lot like camel, neither band ripped the other off tho) etc | tarkus
10.23.12 | probably forgetting some key classic artists but yeah | menawati

10.23.12 | The best music of all time comes from England. Or at least came from England. | bungy
10.23.12 | Oh fuck you Hans
All the best Europeans migrated from Ethiopia. Africa wins | Gee
10.23.12 | Punk has to go to Europe. Punk is British all the way | bungy
10.23.12 | All the fucking dinosaurs win. They fucking deserve the win for becoming extinct and evolving and shit. Second place goes to Noah for saving bitches on the arc and third place goes to Africa. America is fourth | SIMBOLIC
10.31.12 | lol the US has nothing on europe, or just the UK itself
sabbath, maiden, priest, beatles, led zep, stones, radiohead. and thats without mentioning the rest of europe
| HitlerIsTheBest
10.31.12 | europe covers a huge area, so im sure overall there are more musicians i like over there than in america. plus fuck america. | Ryus
06.07.23 | punk - US ez
metal - prob europe
prog - europe
country - US duh
alt rock - US ez
classical - europe obv
pop punk - US lol
blues - US obv
electronic - menawati showin his lack of knowledge here smh. this is a kinda tough one though. US invented house/techno, the two biggest dance music subgenres. 70s stuff obviously goes to europe, but past that i think this is a win for the US
hip hop - US
big win for team america here. swept the genres that matter most (punk, country, electronic, hip hop) |
