I CAN'T BELIEVE that there are people on this planet who didn't know the Beatles and Pink Floyd are British and to find three in the same room blows my mind
How could anyone ever imagine that either Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin could be anything other than British bands? Since when have America ever produced bands who have had such an impact on music, or shown anywhere near the same level of creativity?
@@thebolstaDoors possibly BUT Jefferson Airplane and I've never heard of the other band you mentioned. Those bands except the Doors haven't had anything like the impact of The Stones, The Who, Led Zep, Queen, Pink Floyd etc etc
@@gigmcsweeney8566 Silver Apples were true pioneers, using oscillators and filters in live performances. It wouldn't hurt for you to look them up on YT. A lot of people have never heard of them. But they do deserve recognition.
@@gigmcsweeney8566 "Silver Apples were an American electronic rock group from New York, active between 1967 and 1970, before reforming in the mid-1990s. It was composed of Simeon, who performed on a primitive synthesizer of his own devising; and, until his death in 2005, drummer Danny Taylor. The duo were among the first to employ electronic music techniques outside of academia, applying them to 1960s rock and pop styles. As part of New York's underground music scene, the band released two albums-Silver Apples and Contact -to poor sales. They began recording a third album before a lawsuit by Pan Am, owing to the use of their logo in the artwork of Contact, forced the end of the group and its label Kapp in 1970. In the 1990s, German bootleg recordings of the band's albums raised their profile, and Simeon reformed the group with other musicians and released new music. In 1998, he reconnected with Taylor, and the two completed their original third LP The Garden. After Taylor's death, Simeon continued releasing Silver Apples projects using samples of Taylor's drumming." Taken from their homepage.
The most shocking thing to me is any person on planet Earth thinking the Beatles are American. I thought it was common knowledge like the Earth orbiting the sun.
I mean they are not even Americans but Africans so if someone doesn't even know their birth nationality then for sure they won't know shit about anything else.
I'm not American but l wouldn't be surprised if for some people from USA The Beatles is only one sing they know about Britain 😊 Well, maybe the Queen as well (not the band)..
Black Sabbath not even getting an honourable mention is outrageous! Kick Oasis out of the top 10, they don't belong there, and replace them with Black Sabbath! Tbf, the honourable mentions could have gone on for hours but I'm surprised that Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, The Clash and The Police didn't get a mention.
I do agree with you on Sabbath, but their album sales and Oasis' album sales are incredibly similar. (75m+) It would be The Kinks or Radiohead getting sacrificed, who combined haven't sold the same number as Oasis.
being a teen in the 60's i can think of a dozen bands that would be in front of Oasis, Quo, Kinks, The Who, Move and of course Ozzy and B,S record sales shouldn't be the criterion to judge.
What makes you think they moved to America when they were young (they didn't) do you not realise the uk and most other countries have thriving music cultures of their own
I'm Scottish but lets be honest, the amount of classic music to come out of England is nothing short of phenomenal! Glad to hang on to their coat tails in this wonderful island that is the UK! 🏴🇬🇧
Not your fault. Anerica steals all our stuff and makes out its home grown...😂😂 Those bands were not kids in the US...they grew up here and started their careers here...😂😂.
No they didn't go to America when they were young lol I guarantee most of the bands you listen to are British, and you should check out how many of the famous actors you think are American are actually British. I don't know how anyone could nog know The Beatles or Pink Floyd are British but I suppose this is what reaction channels can do to educate people. Always research the bands you listen to before assuming. 👍😁🇬🇧
Just so you know, every one of these bands is British, and I've missed a few out. The Moody Blues, The Beatles, Status Quo, The Bee Gees, Blur, Queen, Dire Straits, The Cure, The Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, Erasure, Mott The Hoople, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Madness, Slade, The Sex Pistols, The Kinks, UB40, Black Sabbath, The Stranglers, Herman's Hermits, The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, Culture Club, Simple Minds, Radiohead, Pulp, Def Leppard, T Rex, Stereophonics, Mumford and Sons, The Sweet, The Animals, The Move, Cream, Gerry and The Pacemakers, ELO, New Order, Massive Attack, The Tremeloes, Dave Clark Five, Fleetwood Mac, ABC, The Stone Roses, The Rubettes, Wings, Joy Division, The Shadows, Procol Harum, Ultravox, Mungo Jerry, The Real Thing, Wizard, Kasabian, Roxy Music, Mud, Showaddywaddy, Tears For Fears, Spandau Ballet, Take That, Mike and The Mechanics, Oasis, The Proclaimers, Cockney Rebel, Squeeze, The Verve, The Stranglers, The Searchers, Yes, Bay City Rollers, The Smiths, Genesis, Travis, Snow Patrol, The Yardbirds, Hot Chocolate, The Police, The Tornado's, Iron Maiden, OMD, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Manfred Mann, Supertramp, Deep Purple, James, The Jam, Coldplay, Simply Red, The Eurythmics, 10CC, and a load of others.
It's a great list that still misses many bands , Muse The Zutons , Florence and the Machine and Dexys Midnight Runners for a start , but I wouldn't shout about Simply Red 💩
I'm sure plenty of people have already suggested listening to "Pink Floyd live Pulse concert" I would go along with that. "Sorrow" is one of the ones I like best.
Who on earth didn't know that Queen, Led Zep, Pink Floyd and the Beatles are British!! lmao. ... Also British and missing from this list are....Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard. Small Faces, Judas Priest, Gorillaz, Motorhead, Jethro Toll, Dire Straits, The Moody Blues, The Hollies, Cream & Eric Clapton, The Animals, Muse, Coldplay, Roxy Music etc... and also artists like Chris Rea, David Bowie and many others are British...Also no these bands and artists did not move to the US young. They were born, grew up and formed their bands in Britain!! please do some research.
Oasis have sold more albums than ELO, so they are not insignificant. I’m a fan of ELO, but Oasis helped launch Britpop and were an important part of the 90s scene.
@@alundavies1016 So what?Madonna probably sold even more. I liked few tracks from their first two albums but never understood the whole Wonderwall phenomenon. From UK 90ies bands I much prefer Radiohead, Blur, Suede, Manics and Pulp . Verve and the band almost never mentioned today Cast which was fantastic and I remember something from Supergrass
To put it in perspective, the UK is broadly the same size as Florida (but without the tropical storms). The difference is we have about a third the population of the entire US, so population density argues in favour of more musicians getting together. Not always harmoniously, as you see.
It’s because American culture floods the world, unfortunately the rest of us have no choice about this. Probably for that reason the default setting is that everything must be from the USA, so I’m not surprised but I’d say on the whole Britain produces better talent, just generally, well used to
I think another problem might be? Not having an enquiring mind. You listen to your favourite music, but you didn't wonder about where they came from, or looked into their backgrounds and musical influences.😊
@@Aoife24601 No, some reactors are in it to educate as well as entertain . These just seem like `America is the greatest. is engraved in there brain . No excuse
Are you kidding? Britain is famous for its rock music. We have produced more bestselling and unique artists of any nation on the planet, except for the US with whom we are neck and neck. However, relative to our population size, the UK’s output of world-class music is literally second to NONE. This video only covers a few of them. We have given the world hundreds upon hundreds of musical artists in every era and every genre.
It amazes me how people don’t know where bands are from. Americans don’t seem to know where bands are from either. What’s most annoying is they think every band is from America. They have lots of quantity over there but not much quality . We have had loads of foreign bands in UK but we always know where they’re from.
Most Disney/children's books are written by British authors as well btw, e.g.: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda,Winnie-the-Pooh ,The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Secret Garden, Mary Poppins, James and the Giant Peach, Treasure Island, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Harry Potter, etc., etc ! So Many ! Just mentioning a handful. Then there is British literature...
The Beatles changed it all. They became SO big they over-ruled the record companies set in their stereotyped ways and produced exactly what they wanted. America invented R&R, British bands took it, shook it and improved it with new ideas.
Are you OK, Papa? You nearly fell off your chair. Now that's a reaction.😲 Shame they blocked out most of the tunes, but it was good to see you sing along, knowing all the words. We obviously have had a larger influence on your upbringing than you thought. Deeper dive on some of these artists (GOATs) please. I have seen a lot of these artists live. From Yorkshire
Guys I know it's all new to you but, The Uk Dominated the world with their Rock and Pioneered it!!! We have the greatest bands of all time that most US counter parts look upto! Heavy Metal, Punk and many more styles were started over in this Little Island. Black Sabbath Metal pioneers, Iron Maiden the list is endless....
And not just British - all of them are English specifically (as are 99% of the many, many, many successful bands out of Britain), which is mind boggling when you think about it.
The thing is, it's really hard for British bands/singers to crack America, be it musical taste or cultural changes in reflection of the "now", but some do get through, and make an incredible impact, so much so, it's no wonder the "Britishness" of the bands is lost because people just assume they are home grown (US) talent. Look at Blur, Oasis's Britpop rivals at the time, great band... Did nothing in the US, but their music is great none the less: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SSbBvKaM6sk.html & ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YSuHrTfcikU.html as examples of their musical wares.

Hehehe), I have total respect for this man as an artist, writes his own stuff, no "producer" to muck around with his sound, isnt interested in "charts", just wants to go out and play his music to his fans... Total respect. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MCtIuOHQDjo.html
Ah well you learn something every day- but no pink Floyd, the stones, deep purple Led Zeppelin were all British- what makes you think they were American? The world doesn't revolve around America especially in music, perhaps you need to do your research before jumping into music
I agree, they will freak out when they learn that Black musicians got their chance to perform to mixed audiences only when in Britain (Tina Turner, with the Stones ,Jimi Hendrix) and that it was the BRITISH Beatles who refused to play in America to White only audiences, so the promotors were forced to sell tickets to Black people as well .
Best live band by a mile was The Who the clip shown was crap. I suggest you watch The Who playing "Young Man Blues" at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970. Lep Zep shared the stage with them once and The Who blew them off the stage. Robert Plant said the best live band he ever saw was The Who.
LOL. Dude, Pete Townsends can only play chords and smash guitars. And he's too dumb and egotistical to realize he should never pick up a mic if Rodger Daltrey is your lead singer. You gave one example of the Who playing One song epically. When Zeppelin has a whole concert called "The Song Remains the Same" that is considered an all time great performance by like everybody. Everyone thats into rock has heard of this concert. Name one concert everyone has heard of by the Who? I did see the Who three times when I Was young because my best buddy was a huge Who fan. And I am not saying they are not good in concert. But come on man. Stay in your lane.
Myth. The Who never blew Zeppelin off stage. Consensus was that they were about equal that day. Zeppelin were new however, but The Who were already seasoned. Zeppelin at their peak were superior live to the Who. Three hour shows that were never the sane each night.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Robert Plant wouldn`t agree with you. Those 3hr shows consisted of mostly blues and rock covers and old English folk numbers thrown in including a 20min drum solo. It`s in print from people that were there that The Who stole the show, but dont tell...you were there and decided it was a tie.
@@brianshockledge3241 Re your comment "its in print from people that were there that the Who stole the show". Who would they be then ? Who fans perhaps ?? ...and its in print,,,wow must be true !!! Might make at least some sort of sense if the Who were the support act that night as opposed to being the headliners. They were much further into their career than Zep were at the time.. Nobody got "blown off stage" ...in fact there is a recent interview with a Who roadie/.security who remembers apologising to Zep as he was made to try to cut their set short by pulling the power due to..ahem.."curfew" reasons. That is also in print
@@badgeholderdave Who fans perhaps, Robert Plant for one. I`ve spoken to an American rock fan who loved both bands. He said he saw The Who around 30 times (as you say they were around first) and Zep around 20 times. He said out of those shows he could count the average/poor Who shows on one hand. He said for Zep he could count the great shows on one hand for consistently great/good shows for him there was a clear winner. He told me for the 20min drum solo spot many fans went to the restroom or went for a drink. Drum solo`s are great an all but..
Of course America has many amazing bands and singers….Elvis, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Beach Boys, Guns n’ Roses …..BUT…..us Brits have such a wealth of incredible bands since The Beatles. We just nailed it! There’s a few things we are good at….music is one of them!
Well, to be fair, most accents are indistinguishable when singing in the English language. It’s not that they all sound American (though, admittedly, some of our artists DO put on an American accent, like good old Mick).
The US is not the only country in the world 😆 music is universal, as you can see great popular music/bands also comes from Britain, and other countries inc Australia, Ireland, Canada, and other countries in Europe etc
No country (other than the US) has produced the same quality and quantity of world-class, globally successful artists as Britain - and relative to population size, we are head and shoulders above the US. Other countries in Europe could count the number of comparable music artists on one hand in terms of global success, impact, originality, stage presence and standard.
I'm proud of the British music industry we given the world some of the greatest bands ever and can't believe you thought that the Beatles was American 😂 there from Liverpool but this list is not very good it has missed out so many bands that are better than oasis and Radiohead don't get me wrong they are good bands but don't belongs to this list
@elemar5 millions upon millions upon millions disagree they are the biggest British band since the beatles. And that's a fact name another British rock band that's had as many number 1 singles and top 5 hits. You can't can't so shut the fcuk up you don't know what your talking about Muppet
@JohnFoxton-p7j oasis sold more than sabbath and ozzy so what the fcuk are you on about . Sabbath 37 singles 1 top ten Oasis 27 singles 8 number 1s 12 top 5s and 10 top tens. Think again fckung idiot
