when it comes to being innovative the american bands win slightly...maybe because of the diverse demographics that determine USA...more influential possibilities to create new music

Thats true. If you list the cream of the crop of both places, America covers a broader spectrum, but when you break it down band by band, the Brits take it. You cant put Zeppelin or the Beatles in one category, but you could take a Van Halen or Black Crowes, both great bands, and categorize most of their material, aside from the oddball stuff.
pearl jam is by far the best american band considering all that they do for their fan base and everything else that they are involved in nationally ......and at the moment i can't name a better american band that is still active ei touring/recording.......

The Black Crowes parted ways with Marc Ford once again and I have yet to see or hear the new guy, until I do the Black Crowes have been the best American band since they reformed. They have been on a live mission. Maybe they haven't put out an album since, but their playin has been white hot. They could be matched, but I dunno about exceeded.
I do miss The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Verve, Oasis, Blur, Stereophonics, Suede etc from the original list!!!
And by the way where the fuck are all the bands that are by far better than RHCP??? (To name a few) >> Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against The Machine, Screaming Trees, Faith No More, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, System Of A Down, Deftones, Garbage etc????
It has no sense to compare UK and US bands, there are zillion great acts on both sides of the Atlantic!!! Period!

just my opinion but no i don't agree to me PJ is by far the best AMERICAN BAND at the moment .......
and was taken to England, and let's face it Hendrix is essentially a solo act.
Mitch provided the springboard from which Jimi could create his intricate orchestrations of rhythm and lead. And Noel's "She's So Fine" features on Axis: Bold as Love; "Little Miss Strange" features on Electric Ladyland.
With your logic America and Britain would share alotta bands. Zeppelin recorded here, had more early, and longstanding success over here, and once they got big they lived in America as much as possible.
The Yardbirds, which mutated into the New Yardbirds and then Led Zep, were considered the premier blues band on the London scene from 1964 onwards. They were as British as it gets. One should remember the original October 1966 idea for a supergroup, perhaps at Keith Moon's suggestion called Led Zeppelin, featuring London's finest.
America has G'n'R & the Black Crowes & The Mars Volta.
Fucking hell, that seals the deal then. G'n'R are for Beavises and Buttheads, the Black Crowes are a retro ripoff of Jimmy Miller-era Stones and The Mars Volta steal most of their ideas from Hawkwind and early Floyd.
So does that mean since Clapton, Page, Beck etc.etc.etc. are in American bands, since they chose to play music inspired by Americans. Not to say that the lot of them were endlessly original, but everything any of those guys ever did was just a step or two from somethin American
I kinda see your point but that is pretty illogical. If he wouldnt have backed up all those AMERICAN r&b cats he would have become nothin.
It's not illogical. Hendrix was completely unknown in America. You obviously don't know anything about him. In the summer of 1966, he was playing to audiences of about ten or twelve people, down at the Cafe Wha?, when Linda Keith first saw him and introduced him to Chas Chandler. Within days of arriving in London, Jimi's London-orchestrated prefab unit, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, were playing their first European tour, supporting Johnny Halliday. Jimi had been completely obscure, in the States. Practically destitute. A nobody. Chas took him to England, and made him a superstar. Jimi Hendrix was made in England.
As for those people you mention, if you think all they did was copy American blues, you need to open your ears. They were clearly established in Britain on a major level before going to the States. That is, they were considered the elite musicians in the country; they weren't playing to tiny audiences either. They had record deals and were doing national tours. They were also made in England.
Clapton, with Cream, explored the sonic terrain of British psychedelia and put music to the poetry of the English poet Peter Brown. Page plays more than just blues: his acoustic playing is heavily derivative of British folk pioneers such as Davey Graham whose style reflects his colonial British roots. As for Beck, he was as influenced by Bach as by Chuck Berry.
I've compiled a list of American and British rock bands and I was wondering which country has produced the best rock bands over the years?
The BRITS take this hands down, help me if I've left any out and tell me if I'm wrong.

You forgot Living Colour with american's (they never get enough credit, and their music is just brilliant, technically they're like Gods)
For Britain also...Muse, Level 42, David Bowie
..and I would take some out of your list..but ok..
The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

Boasting Yes and The Sex Pistols is like a show of modesty in my opinion. "Yes, we have The Beatles and The Who but honestly, we DO produce some shit as well you know!"

Who brought this back? Anyway, Sly Stone has played more rock concerts than any funk shows that I know of and he is found in the rock section in any music store however many are left these days.
Yes I know they're from Ireland, I've seen them play in Dublin. Anyway that close to England I'll call em British or is it that they're too much of a heavyweight to be listed?
