| btrain pretty much nailed the point of my very drunk rant...I was just trying to draw a parallel with the way both (very different) media systems were developed and the influence this has had on cultural products. I know america has given the world alot, but frank zappa and miles davis are not what i was talking about. I was referring to pop, the brits are generally just more intelligent in the way they present things, there's more depth when you compare bowie, beatles, stones to their contemporaries stateside. Too much pressure to sell perhaps resulting in compromise of artistic integrity/vision? |
