Was thinking about which i prefer and was more influential.
American- The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Husker Du,
Vs
British- The cure, The smiths, Joy Division (sort of),
cant decide!

Both
excellent. I'd probably go for British but I wouldn't fight over it.
i think im inchin towards american...
mainly due to the pixies
American by a country mile
Yes we had Gang of Four and Wire and PiL but nothing came close to that triptyche of Mission of Burma, Minutemen and Husker Du.
nothing came close except
gang of 4, wire and PiL?
Why choose the goths to rep the UK though?
You're on to a loser from the start with that miserable lot.
What about Half Man Half Biscuit, The Fall, PWEI, The Pastels, Wedding Present, Felt, House of Love, Sundays, J&MC, Primal Scream, June Brides etc etc
And
World Domination Enterprises, ACR, Death in June, a whole slew of United Dairy bands, even Killing Joke.
American
every. single. time
Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Minutemen, Dinosaur Jr etc etc etc
The Wedding Present
Jesus & Mary Chain
My Bloody Valentine
Don't forget...
Fugazi...
Yeah
American all the time. Although I love 80s US indie rock so I would say that. Also the Replacements, Descendents, early REM, Meat Puppets. Its no contest really.
