Ok most of us love a tune or two but who really is better at making music, the Americans who gave us the birth of rock n roll and Elvis or the Brits who gave us The Beatles and The Rolling Stones....It'd be good to hear some-one elses opinions as I love all music from both sides of the pond

AC/DC is Australian.

INXS is Australian.

There are heaps of great Australian performers.

since i think music is from the heart, i dont think u can define it by geography, but rather the experiences of those who write it!

While that is true that music is how it effects us within, whether it be the performer or one that does write it, there is certainly no reason why a country can't be proud of it's own. :tongue:

I agree.
But for an 'in general' type answer~ I like music from just about all over the world. But when I look at my cd collection, I think I have more Brit er...English cds. Probabablly because indie, 80s retro., and alternative music is what I have most.
Yes, Australia has some dandy musicians! Midnight Oil is one of my favorites.

americans invented rock n roll, europeans revitalized it. now there r great bands from both hemispheres. oh and for the record, elvises' influence is far greater than his talent

but the question was making music not performing music

producers are ultimately the maker of the music

not the performer of the music

there are many great performer everywhere

but they can not find a producer to produce their music

It was always my understanding that while Elvis helped make it what it is, a couple years prior to him signing his contract it was actually Chuck Berry and his amazing guitar sounds that invented R&R....

Well now we have youtube so these bands can get themselves exposed and get to a producer quicker...


adj4u.... yeah I caught that... and you don't think I pay attention or read between the lines lol:tongue:
