    Default Who Gave Rock And Roll To You??

    Ok a local radio station just did a feature asking who was more gave more to rock music the UK or the USA, I would be interested to know what everyone thinks

    The argument could be made that rock evolved from Americas rhythm and blues scene but can you argue with these names

    UK Rock Acts

    The Beetles
    The Rolling Stones
    The Kinks
    Queen
    Black Sabbath
    Led Zeppelin
    AC/DC
    Pink Floyd
    The Who

    Just a few to get stated for me it the UK all the way with the Stones leading the way

    Wikipedia- "AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young"

    From that list you have a formidable opponent, i'd say the UK even without AC/DC. Zeppelin and the stones made that music for me, so yeah defently the UK.

    True

    I remember when Madonna came to England she said that she wanted to 'Become more English'. Well now she's a single Mum with 3 kids and one of them is Black - Job done I'd say

    I like a lot of bands from both countries. The big names do seem to be British though.
