Calling Yanks..

The great thing about being American is we can choose to degrade all that we have given to the world. Pop culture in the UK is as poor as it is here (Captain Sensible, Spice Girls, Twiggy, the Mini), we all just think it's cooler because it's from the UK. That said...

Favorite UK influences:

1. Beatles 2. New Order 3. Bowie 4. Stones 5. Clash

Favorite US influences:

1. Gene Vincent 2. Jerry Lee Lewis 3. Rat Pack 4. Elvis
2. Motown

And we didn't give the world George Bush, he's ours whether we like it or not.

Odd, considering the Ramones snuck some of the future members of the Pistols and the Clash into their gigs on their first UK tour.

This thread is becoming increasingly silly.
