West Coast rock owns East coast rock

philadam, You say that you "can sit at my computer for two hours as well and name all my west coast bands but i won't because i have more debates and other things", and that I "name good bands but that cant compete with the west". If you are so sure of West Coast rock has better bands, and overall is better than East Coast rock and their bands, prove it! If someone with no knowledge of either type of music style looked at this debate, they would be greeted with my elaborate list of prominent East Coast rock bands, to your empty claims that West Coast rock is, in fact, better. You have yet to convince this person, or me, that West Coast rock is better than East Coast rock. You also say that you are passing on elaborating more in this debate because you have "more debates and other things". If you don't have time to do a quality debate, I recommend you don't do one at all, until you find the time and energy to pump out a good one. Just a suggestion. Back to the argument. You claim that if I name at least three bands which came out with four albums and had great hits, my list would narrow down completely. I shall now list bands with at least four albums and great hits: Neil Diamond (28 studio albums, 13 U.S. Hot 100 Top 10 Hits) Aerosmith (14 studio albums, 21 singles reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100) The Pixies (5 Studio albums, Act of the Year in 2004 Boston Music Awards) J. Geils Band (17 studio albums, 1981 single "Freeze Frame" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100) The Ramones (14 studio albums, 1976 single Blitzkrieg Bop enjoys great commercial success to this day) Kiss (22 studio albums, 5 live albums, Rock And Roll All Nite reached Top 40 and enjoys commerical success to this day) Devo (9 studio albums, Whip It reached #14 on US Hot 100, #1 on AUS ARIA Charts) Bon Jovi (10 Studio Albums, 4 #1 US Hot 100 singles) Fall Out Boy (4 studio albums, 3 US Hot 100 Top Ten Hits) Smashing Pumpkins (7 studio albums, 1995 album Melon Collie and Infinite Sadness #1 on Billboard Hot 100) Sonic Youth (15 studio albums, 1990 single Kool Thing #7 on US Hot 100) Boston (6 studio albums, 8 Top 40 singles, including 1986 single "Amanda" which reached #1) Death Cab For Cutie (10 studio albums, 5 Top 40 songs on US Modern Rock) Blondie (8 studio albums, 4 #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits) Fiona Apple (4 studio albums, 4 Top 40 US Modern rock hits) Plain White T's (4 studio albums, 2007 re-release single Hey There Delilah #1 on Billboard Hot 100 for 2 weeks) The B-52's (13 studio albums, 5 Top 40 US Hot 100 hits) Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers (9 studio albums, "Roadrunner" stayed in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks) Patti Smith Group (10 studio albums, Single "Because the Night" #13 on Billboard Hot 100) Rob Zombie (7 albums, 6 Top 40 US Hot 100 Hits) James Taylor (25 studio albums, 6 Grammy Awards) Television (7 studio albums, 3 Top 40 UK hits) Talking Heads (8 studio albums, 1991 single Sax and Violins #1 hits in US Modern Rock and US Mainstream Rock) Barry Manilow (32 studio albums, 25 Top 40 US Hot 100 hits) The Verve Pipe (8 studio albums, 1997 single The Freshman #5 on Billboard Hot 100) Good Charlotte (4 studio albums, 2002 single "The Anthem" enjoys commercial success to this day, 3 Top 40 US Hot 100 singles) Narrowed down completely? I think not. For that matter, many East Coast bands out there are filled with future promise and legacy, such as Fall Out Boy, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Good Charlotte, Hawthorne Heights, and Black Tide. On a side note, I must say Black Tide is quite impressive for a band made up of teens, the oldest being 19. Their vocalist, Gabriel Garcia, is but 15 years old, and has some powerful pipes. Check out their single, "Shockwave". East Coast bands have the promise, the legacy, and the statistics that put them ahead of West Coast bands.
