US VS UK music artists . Who are better?

Amongst US and UK music artists , whom you prefer and why ?

UK

The Beatles

Queen

Led Zepplin

Pink Floyd

Rolling Stones

ETC ...

US

Elvis Presley

Michael Jackson

Jimi Hendrix

The Doors

Bruce Sprngsteen

ETC ...

Seems english got best music artists and talents when it comes down to music.

What do you say ?

I think they were equal in the 60s (UK maybe with a slight edge) but from the 70's to today, USA wins out, IMO.

US has ALL of hip hop and most of the rock scene

US wins

There is no way to realistically answer this question. It all boils down to preference. megagene

80's to early 90's=UK

Contemporary=US

But overall I would say US just because there are a lot more bands/artists.

My bad. I'll include The Doors in place of phil collins :)

It really depends on the time period but in general I like more UK artists than US artists.

I like music from the UK a lot more.

I like Canadian artists better than us or uk artists.

It's all good, really.

I never really cared for britpop, though, so that gives UK a slight disadvantage, since a decent number of their critically acclaimed bands fall under that style.

More music I listen to comes from the US, I guess.

But really, music is more separated by individual scenes rather than nationality.

Most of what I listen to is Scandinavian, Japanese, and American, just by guessing.

As a ratio of the population Britain is by far the best, if you ignore the population it becomes more difficult.markop2003

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="jaydough"] I think that just means that in order to chart nationally, one in a smaller nation has to appeal to a less diverse grouping and as a result, music doesn't have to be as bland and acceptable to appeal to the majority of the British.
