Bands of England...

...The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Radiohead..the list goes on. It's no secret when it comes to the bands that come out of England. I would love to live in England for a year or 2 just to soak up the artistic motivation behind the society. Whether it's film, music, or design America is run by too much large corporations focused on mass market. If it doesnt appeal to 90% of the market it wont sell, this leads into the dumbing down of all artistic effort here. I would think that this mindset sets a tone for the creative process. Fortunately the bands below came from England. Had they originated from America you would likely never have heard of them, or they would never exist the way they do now.

Portishead "Only You": Directed by Chris Cunningham. not their best song but their coolest video. (i mean really,it must have taken alot of effort to get rid of those bubbles.)


The Good the Bad and the Queen: Album Teaser. Im just glad to hear their working on another album.


Siouxsie and the Banshees "Forever": again not their best song but a cool homemade video.
