I think there are two immediate reasons.
Neither music or society is segregated.
Not many radio stations play just guitar rock, or just urban RnB.
When you are growing up you are exposed to people with African, Caribbean and Indian sub continent roots, their culture and music. |
Same here, and that's a very good point. There's something about some of the British stuff that's always resonated with me, and I grew up in Nashville.
Is it chord changes, voicings? I haven't bothered to analyze it. I sure as hell never heard music like Cocteau Twins, Talk Talk, or Tears for Fears originate from the States.
However, we DO have Davis, Zappa, Williams, and others.
