Perfectly said. European music is better for those with REAL musical taste, be it metal, trance, celtic, new age, folk, dance or even gypsy music.
If you musical taste leans towards lyrics containing a lot of swear words and videos with a lot of cheap thrills, then American rap music would probably be the best for you.
That is not to say there aren't good artistes in the US, but when they are they become mainstream in Europe, not United States.
Im sorry but i disagree with most of this. What is 'REAL musical taste'? Some american music that has been released really good. I mean obviously you gotta look past the mainstream to find the goodness but because it does not appear in front of you does not mean that it doesn't exist.
As i do not know much about metal music and celtic music i can't say if they are better in the USA than in Europe.
As for your comment about American rap, im going to have to disagree again. I mean i understand why you might not like rap/hip-hop music but not every hip hop artist is like Ludacris and 50 Cent. Yes i won't lie, Hip-hop is heavily assosiated with bad language but if you take a proper look into the lyricism you will see that not every rapper is talking about girls, cars or money.
