the Craig David thread got me thinking, why is the UK the pound for pound best music producing nation on Earth
the USA is 5 times as large but doesn't produce 5 times as many quality songs and artists.
there has got to be a reason for it.
Seal here with one of the best live vocal performances of the 2000's
without backing singers
one voice to rule them all ..
you have the endless list of British pop stars .. even the non A listers like Seal, Sade, Soul II Soul, Maxi Priest, Billy Ocean, UB40, Progidy are at the top of the global game. And that's before you get to global kings like George Michael, Elton John, Williams (Star Wars etc), Bowie, Beatles, Oasis, U2 (sort of), Amy Winehouse, Adelle, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, Queen, Rolling Stones, Phil Collins, Bee Gees, Pink Floyd, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones. I'm skipping the real pop acts like Spice ..., Take ... etc
is it the food? the weather? the teeth? the water?
most of the top singers are brits ... from pop, pop soul, rock, heavy metal, house, reggae, roots, ska .. only things lacking are R&B/rap and that because there aren't enough of us. Even then you have Loose Ends, Soul to Soul ...
every genre ..
Simba, Mufasa, Darth Vadar, Highlander, Thor, Superman etc all bolstered british musicians ..
Lion King
Highlander wouldn't be the same movie.
Star Wars .. imperial march
Original Superman
Thor
all Brits
