It's the same kind of rage I felt when Xfactor came to England. I mean, this country produced Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Venom, Motörhead, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Lead Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles, The Smiths, The Cure, The Damned, The Jam, The Police, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Jarvis Cocker, David Bowie, Queen, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Supertramp, The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy.
You mention Peter Gabriel but not Genesis?
And where's the love for Saxon, Diamond Head, The Sisters Of Mercy and The Stranglers?
Edited, Mar 16th 2012 6:52pm by Aethien I actually stole the list from a comedian called Steve Hughes. You should check him out, he's pretty funny.
Linky.
Also if I were to list all of the awesome music acts from England I'd be here all day.
I'm no less disappointed that you failed to mention Genesis.
Just listen to Selling England By The Pound, If that's not one of the greatest albums ever made then I don't know what is.
I agree. Genesis were good.
I had a funny in retrospect but awkward at the time moment the other day that was somewhat Phil Collins related, actually.
So, I'm in the library silent area and "In the air tonight" comes on, MP3 player. I'm just minding my own business, listening to the song. Suddenly, le wild drop appears. Out of habbit I bang on my table to the "Duh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duhduhduh duh!" bit.
Afterwards I realised where I was, looked around and like five people were staring at me in that very English way. You know where they're like "You've annoyed me to the point where I may have to tut at you at any moment". Yeah, that wasn't fun. At the time.
