Why so good? wrote:
It pains me to say it, but why does 90% my music come from British bands? Why is thier music so good?
After a lot of gin I listened to Glory Box by Portishead and Teardrops by Massive Attack and I'm a wreck...then I locked at my collection and most bands are British. Why do they produce such music? Bit drunk...
Same reason as they produce great runners. Cold, damp air year round. Plenty of beaches and mountains. Ancient lush green landscape, tiny islands. It's cloistered, cold, & isolated.
Then there's classicism, boredom, and general weirdness.
In short...it's just ever so inspirational.
My Bloody Valentine & Joy Division are in my Top 5.
