Chickens in Malibu 7,873 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 First of all I'm not british, so I'm not really biased or anything. But seriously, I think we can all agree that the state of music in the U.S music industry is so bad this decade, that british artists became our last beacon of hope as far as classics are concerned. Personally almost 80% of what I listen to recently are british artists. Music wouldn't be as enjoyable if not for the british artists who served us bops not only this decade but previous decades as well. And I think at this point in time, the british music industry is becoming far superior to the american industry. Even UK Charts are becoming more important in my eyes than Billboard (which became a pile of garbage). This a moment of appreciation for these recent classics. Let's just hope the garbage hip-hop trend won't reach the UK anytime soon (I'm not against hip-hop I like Kendrick Lamar because he's good at it and delivers quality music, but most hip-hop artists are garbage nowadays). But can you really think of a classic that wasn't performed by a british artist this year? I can't think of any  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoxo Craig 55,649 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Yeah these artists are overrated in the UK. Music in general is pretty shite at the moment.... To say that the US music would be nowhere without these basic artists is quite arrogant. Adele is the only decent one, and I like Sam Smith's voice. End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 96,460 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 IDK, only Adele that matters from that list I got to see Ann-Marie live earlier this year tho. She was fun.

Damon 10,896 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 lmao the only classic I see there it's Adele and I don't think Hello is her most iconic song ... and now i just sit in silence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickens in Malibu 7,873 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I don't know what's GGD's problem with Ed Sheeran, but to deny that Thinking Out Loud is a classic is really foolish. You can ask any songwriter and they'll tell you they wish they wrote that song lol... The lyricism in it is totally on another level and even the melodies are so well thought-out. It expectedly won Song Of The Year at the Grammy's as well over Taylor Swift etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times has he been called out for taking other peopleâs songs without credit? Just my opinion, but I still respect your thoughts.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's what I said. I said that the american music industry shifted from what it used to be, and the trend now is really bad music. All it takes for you to realize is to keep an eye on BB100 really. The only TOP10 in the U.S this year that I would call something close to a classic is Ed Sheeran's Perfect.
