UK -v- Oz Battle of the Bands

**Aldo** · 31-08-2011, 02:32 PM

All this UK v Oz stuff may be immature but I love it because the UK wins all the time.

So here's another one.

Who has enriched the world the most with its music (past and present)?
You could easily count the number of quality acts from Oz on one hand, whereas the the amount of talent coming from the UK is immeasurable.

Would anyone like to disagree?

Nope, didn't think so.

Well Kylie has lived in England for about 20 years.

iNXS used to be good

the Bee Gees are English so I'm not sure why they are on the Oz list

ACDC were mostly Scottish and the current lead singer is English

Savage Garden

TBH its a bit of a silly thread. Of course the aussies are cr4p at anything artistic, you need inspiration for this and it's well known that the GAFA is pretty uninspiring.
