heh. I thought R.E.M. were british for the longest time
Henry Roberts
desu I never knew the Scorpions were German until recently, always thought it was weird they mentioned going to Gorky park in Winds of Change.
Caleb Adams
Nothing beats the feeling when I found that Tracy Chapman was a black lesbian woman
Julian Thompson
Or Australian depending on how you look at it.
Colton Martinez
Most significant pop musicians from the 60s-70s were British.
Logan Wilson
>depending on how you look at it.
As in, wrong.
Cooper Ward
Holy shit why did I think they were Australian?
Gavin Thompson
That would explain why they ripped off White Dove from Omega
Jason Wright
They moved to Australia and that's were their career really started, but thy were still English.
William Murphy
I was flabbergasted when I found out AC/DC were ausies
Caleb Sanders
Most of the original members were British actually.
Landon Rodriguez
>Scorpions were German
Wait what the fuck?
Lincoln Bennett
Omega and the Scorpions were actually on good terms, it was technically a cover of thr original with their consent
when Kanye ripped off Gyöngyhajú Lány though, that was just horseshit
Angel Lee
Deep Purple and Dire Straits being british also surprised me. Motorhead did too, until I heard lemmy's speaking voice and heard the sweet dulcet tones of anglo alcoholism
William Allen
The Bee Gees were based in Miami from 1975 and Barry has lived there ever since.
John Gomez
I didn't know Dire Straits was british. But makes sense, most good music from the 20th century came from UK.
Daniel Martinez
As a kid, I used to think the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and The Who were all American bands. Not even memeing.
Connor Phillips
Led Zeppelin being British surprises people, or so I'm told.
Dylan Lopez
>The Who
This is one is the most unforgivable.
r u dum or sumfin?
Aiden Reyes
i feel like most singing voices sound vaguely northeast or neutral american. Some artists i can notice the accents in are the Gorillaz, most country music songs, Black Sabbath and whoever sang Wonderwall
Jaxson Wood
What the fuck ? I grew up thinking they were British.
Perhaps that's because back at home, decades after their hype, they were most associated with american pop culture, hollywood than a local British band ?
Know that I think of it I used to thing Daft punk were an American group as well.
Tyler Rogers
It's hard to keep an accent while singing which is why most British and Australian vocalists sound neutral/American.

or when you've had ten strokes and sixty years of heroin like Ozzy
Elijah Cox
That's not true. A lot of British bands sing with distinctly British accents. The Clash, The Smiths, Queen, Oasis, Radiohead, Artic Monkeys, Bloc Party. That's just off the top of my head.

If you listen to the early Bee Gees albums from the 60s like Bee Gees' 1st, they have really strong British accents, but by the 70s they didn't sing like that anymore.
Austin Anderson
>Arctic Monkeys
fuck, I never noticed it but now that you've pointed it out it's totally there
Levi Bailey
The whole British Invasion was just reskinned, whitewashed American black culture.
Henry Hernandez
It's too bad they got completely blacklisted from Anglo cunts in the 80s onward because they were still very popular in continental Europe especially with Germans.
Wyatt Ortiz
literally brainlet: the thread
Bentley Cruz
Especially in America, the Bee Gees were horribly, horribly overexposed and just too tied into the pop culture of the late 70s to ever escape it. Living Eyes had to be the single biggest one album drop in pop music history.
