why British rock is better than American rock?

It could be the weather, the small towns and cities, the close quarters.  The size of the country may lend to the creativity that comes from the UK.  The role religion plays in growing up, the need to stand out and stand up for something...? It could be all or none of these things.

I'm a classic rock kind of girl myself, but there are PLENTY of bands out there today that are worth looking into. Some of my personal favorites are Dave Matthews Band, U2, Radiohead, and the foo fighters. You can also take into account the older bands that are still touring and releasing albums, like the Stones.

their music isnt really my favorite style, but their message is terrific.  showbread has the same deal going on, but personally i like their music better.  its still a harder rock, but i like it more for some reason.

The old stuff is better. Peopledont know that Green Day have been around for a while. Alot of people think that Green Day is so new! And that they are against America.\nPersonaly I like their older stuff but have not discovered all of their songs yet, Yet i truly love American Idiot even though i agree it is sometimes overplayed but i still love Green Day. P.S. Billie is HOT.

U.S. is certainly better .First of all itis cheaper to study in U.S. than U.K. Also u tend to get a job more easily in U.S. after u complete ur degree than in U.K.

I actually think that rock is more popular than rap right now.\n\nI listen to both and many other genres anyway.

Personnally, there are a lot of good things about the Brit.  I have a close friend from Wales, lots of my favorite music come from the UK (Depeche Mode, New Order (Gillian Gilbert is cute, I wished she would smile more)), it's the home origin of shows like Monte Python and Doctor Who.  Driving through the countryside, there are a lot of beautiful places to vist.\n\nIgnore the unknowledgeable...ones like that say nasty stuff about Native Americans and other people and races as well.\n\nI try to embrace the differences.  With out differences, there would be no variety.  That would be pretty boring.

It depends on what you mean: today's Rock is better than rap/hip-hop in my personal opinion but the songwriting and talents are way down except for a few left out there compared to classic rock. \n\nIf I had to choose between keep it or scratch it I'd say keep it. I know the Stones won't be around for much longer so their music days are almost over, all the Ramones except for Tommy are dead (including the 4 others besides Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee) and everyone is retiring in the classic Rock industry. So there has to be some bands to take the reigns, I'm just happy for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're some of the few good muscians left (although "Dani California" is a total ripoff of Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty and Jimi Hendrx).

Musically, they are at par. Vocally, Rob Thomas of MB20 is better. \nOverall, both bands are equally good!

Alot more than you think...\n\nMost of our words are derived from European roots.  Most of our food is European based.  Most of the good Rock and Roll from the 70's were from a European country (England).

It is important to note that Rammstein is almost anti-American. That is, they do not really dislike America, but they are sick of American culture leaking into their own. They wish to preserve a sense of the German culture that many of their countrymen are losing. English is taught in all their schools. English is now the "cool" language. The only reason they have done ANY songs in English is because they are not very popular in Germany. We stupid Americans are willing to pay to listen to them bi*ch about us. Of all their songs, I can only think of "Amerika" that comes right out about their standpoint, but several of their songs could be said to have anti-American meanings (between the lines).

Yes that song is great! U2 is considered the greater band but I actually prefer Green Day. Basket Case and When I Come Around are awesome. The Brittish really to like them eh? Maybe because even though they're Americans, they hate America...lol.

AWESOME! Rock is a powerful force in the past causing parents, politcians and naysayers to go nuts! Especailly in the 1980's. The '70s, not so much controversy, but still one of the better eras full of Black Sabbath, Zepplin, Judas Priest, Dio. The '80s had tons of awesome acts like GNR and Def Leppard. I still love some of the strange lyrics and songs of the '90s much of which is Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains with a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's sad to me that rock music isn't pissing enough people off and some of it is just terrible. Sure bands like Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but we need some new blood in rock! Hopefully more bands like Avenged Sevenfold will come out soon.

Keane is more indi than soft rock....\n\nPop is stuff that's made for money, e.g. Steps, SClub7, Kylie, etc. Happy, chirpy music that you don't have to think about. Like junk food.\n\nI have no idea what you mean by soft rock....just wet rock music perhaps?\n\nI also think that people have their own personal, different definitions for music.

Historically, British television has always had a shorter season than American television.  It's probably because the industry for British television (and its budgets) are generally smaller than those for American television.  Similarly, American cable networks with original programming are now starting to work with shorter seasons, which also allows them to introduce a larger variety of shows in a given season.
