The Motown movement>>>>>>>>>>>>>4 of the most overrated ass individuals that ever hit the music scene

The Beatles are fukking garbage. I don’t know why people think you have to like them in order to have good taste, fukk them no-playing crakkkas.

The Brits jacked blues and rock & roll and re-introduced it to white boys in America. Those same white boys that wouldn’t have been caught listening to “n1gger” music a decade earlier...

They watered down our music by taking the SOUL out of the blues and RnR and broke it down to a science for other copy cats to imitate.

one of my favorite scenes from the film....



"hey,Chuck ,it's your cousin Marvin Berry"

Brits when it came to black people were less

Let me finish..

In America most of the country was segregated, the average white parent wasn't going to let their kids listen to most black music. Very heavy If you listened to black music you were generally picked on, seen as a degenerate,etc.

Meanwhile in England it was hardly any black people there in the 60s..really small population..so must of them weren't raised to despise everything black. Also Britian got fukked up by the Nazis during World War 2..they had rationing after world war 2. Was bleak..meanwhile America seemed to have had a boom after WW2.

The brits were fascinated by blues, they were talking about heartbreak,women leaving em,getting women,drinking, they were talking about swamps,had accents, and had soul,and rhythms that was completely new to them. They embraced the blues.

Then you have The Beatles who made it big, and you have a bunch of inspired people..who feel they can acheive the samething.

Until Hendrix

Dude was the pioneer of heavy metal

T'was an invasion that the Yankees still aint recovered from.

Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis made it okay for white American kids to listen to and play rock music. Whites across europe had been listening to jazz, blues and rock records already.

Lennon didn't want to start a band until after he saw Elvis. There's not a single person on this forum who knows more about rock history than me.

The British were outdoing White American artists (maybe besides Bob Dylan). However, AA's had the British beat, but I will say that the British were better than the Cac American artists.

The top American bands of that era would be

Allman Brothers Band- Those guys were easily the best American band..dikkey Betts and Duane were fukking and their influences were largely blues guys.

Lynryd Skynryd- They listened to Hendrix yea, but Clapton and Paul Kossof from Free were their main influences

Aerosmith

The Doors- Heavy blues influence

Van Halen- Eddie's main influence was Clapton.


I think with alot of the americacs, they needed to see a white guy to aspire to be ..Elvis,The Beatles,Stones,Clapton.

I didn't get into the Beatles until four years ago.

REALLY?

Pissing contests aside, how did your post refute my comment that white kids/people in Europe were listening to jazz, blues, and early rock BEFORE Elvis?

The record sales of Chess Records across Europe in the early 1950s , and especially this record

released in 1950...seems to support my point.

And why do the early white British rock acts draw from the same pool of Black blues artists that influenced Elvis and Jerry Lee?
Riffs, songs, vocal inflections.....hell even the NAMES of the British groups are copied from these pioneering Blues and Rock artists and NOT from Elvis.
Elvis' success might have created a white teen market for these british acts to be able to make a living singing to, but I stand by my original point.

Here is the Beatles cover from a few years later, and I guess it goes under "rock"

the beatles were fukkin awful never saw the appeal

i fukk with a few stones songs, but thats about it. this is one of the GOAT songs

Keith Richards said the first record that really turned him on was "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis. He like many English kids during that time after listening to Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis worked their way backward to Muddy, BB, Buddy Guy, etc...

I think later generations feel that they have to like certain acts...regardless of the how well the music has aged.
I was a kid when the RS were still a charting act. That was an era when there were only a handful of music shows on tv, so everybody knew all the top acts.
As a kid, I didn't get it and thought that they were openly gay........everything about them screamed gay....especially the two guys singing into one mic shyt.....

I fukk with some of their songs though....."Sympathy for the Devil" goes hard.
