I was just about to add a note to the Best Records of 91, when i
thought the subject matter was somewhat wider. I Noticed the amount of
rock music that was listed and little else, before someone starts to
list every non rock artist mentioned, yes i know there were some,
anyway this made me think about the whole american music scene, when i
visited the states in september i was amazed at being called a punk or
a fag ( which i understand to mean gay), because i don't like
mainstream rock.
Even when i did find people who liked the same bands as me you find
that they also like the large rock bands too, you can't win.
Can someone explain the american scene?
Does anyone feel freddie mercurys talent died before him?
Why did a band of U2's status ahve to jump on the dance bandwagon?
Are we fed the wrong info or do american's just listen to rock?

Well, if you've been told 'Muricans listen to Rock only...you've been
fed wrong the info. Our tastes, here in the colonies :-), run from
A to Z. Which only stands to reason, since our cultural base comes from
every continent on the planet. Oh yeah, don't take the ramblings of
a few 'Muricans as gospel for the rest of us. This country is huge and
you'll find all types from coast to coast. We're not all bad!

> Are we fed the wrong info or do american's just listen to rock? Naaaah! The rest of us just don't make as much *noise*... If "TheAmericanScene == $$$$$," though, you've got the right info, IMHO. Bob | |||||

Good to here, i think things are different in england, either the rock
fans have'nt got such load voices or there are'nt so many of them. Lets
get putting some non rock albums in the best of last year!!
