American music.

Yeah, see that I know prety well. And 60s RnB does come close. (Nina Simone I would out in your list too) but it is just so, well, preconceived. Ever heard Cant Explain by The Who? Thats what I am talking about. Pure, raw, energy.

Oh come on, its a joke band! Unles you are refering to the lyrics of one of the best rock song ever. In which case I give you full credit for slipping it in.

Let me guess - Dynamo Hum? Personally, I was always partial to Cosmik Debris. :)

Now, I have long held the opinion that American music, I mean the US here, not Latin music, just isnt as good as UK, Europe, Oz and so on. Take grunge. Its 30 years behind punk. Techno. THe US just doesnt get it, yet its been common place here for 20 years. Rock? Well, the US does do it. Although its too shiny and plasticy. Nothing as good as Black Sabbath or LedZep. Even Hendrix. He was 'discovered' playing in London, and was backed by British musicians, giving his music the British heavy rock sound that the Kinks, Stones and The Who typified. France does OK, Indo Chine, Les Rita Moustika, even Germany has Ramsteinm, although for the most part their music is crap. So, convince me. Is there any US American music that you think can convince me that it is just as god as its European counterpart?

Dream Theater, The Allman Brother, Pearl Jam, Anthrax, Satriani, Foo Fighters, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tenacious D (when they sing/play that is), The Outlaws, Eric Johnson, Guns 'n Roses, Iggy Pop, Kansas, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Ozzy (although a brit, he produced his music in the US), Megadeth, Metallica, Shadow Gallery, Slayer, The Misfits (the only punk music I listen to), Kiss, Avenged Sevenfold, Pantera, Queens of the Stone Age, The Smashing Pumpkins, Velvet Revolver, Boston, Rush (Canadian, but that doesn't matter, as it isn't European), Faith No More, Dio, Yngwie Malmsteen (he was born in Sweden, but left for the US a long time ago. He claims he's an American now), Tool, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Kyuss, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Elvis, Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Tom Petty, The Travelling Willburys, Toto, and the list could go on forever...

OK, most of those I know, and are terminally rooted in American Folk music, which is dull stuff. As for the those that arent, Satriani exemplifies perfectly my distaste for plastic American rock music. Its awfull, Really truly crap.

Terminally rooted in American Folk music? You don't like rock, American or otherwise, do you?
