Popular music in the UK

same as americans, minus a lot of the black music

eh, the UK just has different black music. sure there's an audience for some of the USA's biggest, most mainstream hip-hop artists, but just replace all the more lowkey regional scenes in the US with shit like London's grime scene.
the other thing though, British soul & r&b artists (or pop artists with heavy soul/r&b influence), tend to be more white and less black than their US equivalents, even though they're traditionally black genres.

Fosters was made by Americans and brewed in the UK

It's weird. The stuff on the radio is terrible but everyone seems to think it's terrible. I honestly couldn't tell you what comes on the radio, it all blends into one. Grime is big, Stormzy, Skepta and that. I guess The 1975 is pretty big though I don't know anyone personally who likes it. 90s dance music and Britpop are still huge. Ed Sheeran is fucking massive. Stock, Aiken and Waterman 80s OHWs are all some stations play and everyone's mum fucking loves them. British pop tends to be a lot weirder than American stuff. Some truly bizarre stuff has gotten legit big in the past. You think Old Town Road is strange but we once had a dance song based around different fast food places.

Black music is massive here, obvs not as bad as America but still

And it's the most popular beer in Australia. There is a fucking roo on it

i only listen to radio 6 which has some reasonable entry-level Yea Forumscore and indie stuff

huh? but every Aussie I've ever seen discuss beer mirrors the sentiment of "fuck Fosters mate that's piss, got me a slab of VB"

No it's not, everyone thinks that but it's just marketed as Australian. Far more popular in the UK.

Everyone assosiates it with Australia. There was an entire simpsons episode about it. They love it in the land down under

everyone associates it with Australia, except for Aussies, who associate it with gullible bongs

This. But everyone at work hates it because you don't get top 40 stuff, and Mary Ann Hobbs is too relaxing.

I have to listen to BBC Radio 1 at work. I used to not mind it but the stuff that gets into the charts in the last few years is pretty much all shite.

The other popular station I get to hear, Heart, is like this minus the rap. Sam Smith & Ed Sheeran hourly

haven't listened to the radio in about 5 years but this is what it sounded like in 2014. I live in Northern Ireland which is barely UK but we still get BBC Radio 1. Hopefully this explains why I stopped listening to the radio

radio 6 is based af

and Lewis fucking Capaldi making it big now too. I would appreciate that lad so much more if he were a stand-up comedian. I've been waiting for years for artists like Adele to fall off a fucking cliff and for whatever that genre is to die, and then he explodes and is like "nahh you're still going to get inundated with saccharine ballads in a melodramatic pseudo-operatic voice"
I wish that would just fucking die already

Pete Tong was a dick but he was probably the best radio 1 dj. Gilles Peterson too

growing up as a kid in the late 90's this is what my parents listened to

nothing this good has been on radio 1 in the last decade

i was about to fall in love and i couldnt restrain myself

They did One in the Jungle as well, some fantastic sets on that

hey man, gorillaz are good

how did we go from this to vossi bop. don't answer, I know how

It's always fucking Lewis Capaldi, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish on radio 1

Alternatively you can put on smooth FM and hear the looping roster of 45 easy listening tracks, or local rock stations that only play fucking Oasis

I'm not a chav so I only listen to BBC Radio 4.

Any other BBC Radio 5 Live listeners here?

The DJs must have to lie through their teeth about liking it too. Actual grime fans don't even like it, so who the fuck listens to it and thinks it's good?
I want to go back

where did it all go wrong?

Literally this. British music is in such a dire state.

Historically, the UK and US charts have been very different. Whole genres of music "got over" in the UK, but went almost unnoticed in the US -- like skiffle in the late 50s and glitter rock/glam rock in the 70s. Europop was kind of big there too.

About the only positive thing I can say about the Brits is they appreciated Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys long, LONG after their home country deemed them old hat. Square. Yesterday's news. From Pet Sounds onward, Boy Boy records consistently charted better in the UK.

if glam rock was such a british thing in the 70's, then where did all of the american hair metal bands come from?

Alice Cooper and Van Halen. Also I think Slade opened for Ozzy one year.

were alice cooper and van halen inspired by the british stuff? is there any link between bowie singing rebel rebel, and twisted sister singing i wanna rock?

Hair metal in Hollywood evolved from the British bands, and the US ones. Bands like Motley drove the early stages of it. There was a glam scene in SF, too. They all credited bands like Sweet, Slade, the Dolls, Bowie, T Rex, all of that. It didn't just appear from nowhere. I was there. One minute it was all Quiet Riot clones, the next it was all Poison clones.

Alice, yes. VH? No. VH was not one of the bands that drove the glam scene, if anything, they were against the cock rock of VH. The only connection is that Roth dressed like a poor man's glam rocker.

Alice came out of the freak scene in LA that Zappa was the center of. They invented a lot of the shit that's standard now. Go find "Me, Alice", he goes into the early days of the Alice Cooper Band. He was BEFORE the British stuff, he started in the late 60's. Bowie and Cooper were aware of each other, but pretty much doing their own thing, at the same time. Glam has been around in one form or another since, in both countries. Twisted Sister was more influenced by the Dolls, being a NY based band. I think the band that became Twisted Sister started out as a Dolls cover band.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm jealous of her head shape.

This album is terrible

so basically what you're saying is that while Britain had its own glam rock scene, it wasn't the only one, and there was some syncretism with the US scenes?
you don't actually have to answer that, I'm not all that into that kinda stuff anyway.

Everyone who lived in countries that had the "australian for beeyah" marketing campaign thinks that.
Every Aussie I've known thought it was piss water. And most of it is made and sold in the UK.

Yes, that's the easy, tl;dr version.

Blinded by the Lights and Empty Cans are good but not up to Pirate Material standards.
Fit But You Know It and Dry Your Eyes always seemed out of place as Streets tracks to me

Grime is such a fucking horrible genre holy shit.

But fuck that, what do NORF FC lads listen to these days?

Inevitably someone will put Oasis - Cast No Shadow on the jukebox at the local just before last call. It's me. I do that.
