Europe VS. America (music)

Topic is self explanitory, who do you think makes better music (overall) America or Europe?

For me, its gotta be Europe, while America does have several fantastic bands (Nevermore, Nile, Agalloch, etc.) its also got FAR more crap then Europe, and Europes Death and Black metal is so much better its not even funny:P

More of my favorite artists come from America, so. . .

Europe has a great metal. So metal, but I do like Asia for there video game music

Europe definitely (and Im an American)

I think the poll would be more fair if it was just the U.K vs. The U.S, but even that I think would bend torwards the U.K's favor considering how unstopable the british invasion was, damn those Englishmen and their good music! :x

Europe often has the best of Metal, though America also has its fair share of excellent bands.

But Europe actually has fans that love andmake real Metal music compared to the American scene of so called "Metal"core and hardcore music and anything thats trendy.

But I'm not saying everyone is like that, everyone has their own music taste of course.

Europe.

Easily American.

Besides metal, which I'd guess I have 50/50 between American and European artists, everything else is pretty much American.

where would canada go in all of this?

Europe has better Dance/Electronic and Pop music,

America has better country and blues music,

and my favorite rock music comes from Canada.

I said America, but really NORTH America would be the better answer. There's more than one country on this continent, you know...

Europe=Led Zeppelin

Europe all the way!

Europe has excellent metal. Although so does American, but not as much.

Europe is far better for Metal. There are a few good American bands though, but you have to sift through the garbage to find them.

Europe easily!

Arcade Fire have one of the most interactive live performances I've ever been to. Amazing band.

Wintersleep are much better than their best known single, Weighty Ghost. I saw them in Vancouver and they are a wall of sound. If you like loud rock music, see them live.

Weakerthans are one of the most under-rated bands still touring and recording today. Any fan of music would be doing themselves a favor by listening to them, especially if they are Canadian and love music about The Great White North.

If I had to choose one country for music, it would be my home and native land. But I love music from the US, too... some of my favorite bands are out of the states: REM, Smashing Pumpkins, Drive By Truckers... it's really tough to narrow it down to just one country or even one continent.

Not for me, but I won't deny their excellence.

Besides if I named all of them, I'd be writing til dawn :)

Europe (Britain in particular) has produced some of the greatest bands in history.What I will say though, America has better metal bands.

But overall, I say Europe.

[QUOTE="smack_masta"]

[QUOTE="Oyeoyeoye"] Some good bands there. I'd only consider The Hip and Neil Young great though. Think I've seen the hip 4 times now.-starman-

Hm. I'm on the fence on this one. I like a lot of bands from Europe and America.

So I'm neutral.

america easily gets the win in metal. id give the edge in rock to europe.

if we go by classical, europe isfar and awaybetter. their contributions to music is simply a lot greater than america's.

Europe for sure. Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The Who... it is hard to top a lineup like that.

He's right to an extent... Without the big four thrash bands, they might not even exist... and in turn, if it weren't for Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath, the big four might not exist.

I really don't care which side of the world has better bands, because both America AND Europe have their fair share of good bands.

Ugh

America for metalcore

Europe for metal

Britain for general rock

America for punk
