The Power of London: A History of London's Music Scenes

[@soundmojo]

London has brought us so much "Music" over the years. What's your favourite contribution? Let us know 👇

[@ChowMeinWarrior]

Moving forward with British music

[@joeszczechowski8333]

Depeche Mode not even mentioned ????? So much for Mojo music

[@soundmojo]

@@joeszczechowski8333 Depeche Mode are from Basildon, Essex, England. We really should do a video just on them 😉 Noted Thanks for watching!

[@CHlEFFIN]

No city has ever produced more influential and great music in the history of Planet Earth. Cheers from Texas.🤠❤️

[@soundmojo]

@CHlEFFIN hard to argue! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@kaindavies2540]

Missing The Libertines imo. Arguably the most important British band of the early noughties and, along with The Strokes, helped lay the foundations for a lot of the indie bands of the decade. No Arctic Monkeys without the Libs

[@progman_7412]

You guys should’ve really mentioned Genesis in the Prog category. I understand that the band was popular in the genre of Art Pop, but still. The band was very influential, great video!

[@soundmojo]

@ProgMan _74 We'd love to do deep dives into some Genesis classics! "A Trick of the Tail" is a personal fave! 👍

[@progman_7412]

@@soundmojo A personal favorite of mine as well! Selling England By The Pound and A Trick Of The Tail are classics in the Genesis community and in the community of Progressive Rock. Thank you for replying to my comment!

[@soundmojo]

@@progman_7412 Those two are my faves in the Genesis catalogue.

[@progman_7412]

@@soundmojo I would also recommend listening to a few Progressive Rock bands call Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf Generator and Camel as well. Those two bands aren’t as well known but still share a similar sound to Genesis, Yes and King Crimson. They’re many other Prog Bands I could name all day but those are just some of the classic bands from the 1970s and 1980s. I hope you guys have an amazing day!

[@soundmojo]

@@progman_7412 Trust me I'm a huge prog rock fan. Yes, Kansas, King Krimson, Camel, Rush, and many of the modern ones as well.

[@antifugazi]

Never has one city given so much music to so many people, London and England in general is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to bands, singers, producers etc

[@soundmojo]

@DARIO MARCHESI 👌

[@RemasteringMcCartney_AndreyM]

Undeniably, The Beatles are the UK's best ever contribution to music

[@johnnymartini4989]

I love how diverse the British music scene is

[@soundmojo]

@JohnnyMartini It's astounding!

[@chickenfeeet]

London Calling is great. Just as the Clash itself

[@zachblakemore3567]

They blow me the fuck away

[@soundmojo]

@The SENATE palps when I was 7 someone gave me a "mixtape" that started with that song! Forever hooked.

[@chickenfeeet]

@@soundmojo My first mixtape started with Elton John's "Saturday night's alright for fightin"

[@YOUGOTCAGED1992]

The clash for ever

[@jestersarmiento4751]

The Clash being the first one played ! Wow

[@soundmojo]

@Jester Sarmiento Appropriate no?

[@padgemahaj3167]

Manchester were the hot spot for Electronic music not London

[@soundmojo]

@Padge Mahaj For sure, but we're focusing on London's contributions. 👍 Sub for a future Manchester video!

[@antifugazi]

They mention Manchester

[@stephaniemcr5328]

You should do Manchester music as well!

[@soundmojo]

@Stephanie R On the list! 👍

[@ianjabali7]

I like it when people acknowledge Freddie Mercury was from Zanzibar

[@soundmojo]

@Ian Jabali 😉 Thanks for noticing!

[@CO6883-o3c]

Porcupine Tree Just found out this channel existed. Subbed! 🙂

[@soundmojo]

@Collin Olevson is that a request for a deep dive into prog? 😉

[@CO6883-o3c]

Yes. I welcome that. 😁

[@soundmojo]

@@CO6883-o3c Will work on it! 🤘

[@jaspmeneerstolwijk2973]

Where is Madness!?? (Great video)

[@minasgeorgopoulos7508]

Black Sabbath are from Birmingham

[@soundmojo]

@Minas Georgopoulos yes, but the video mentions them and Deep Purple as "Fellow Brits'" not that they're from London. Thanks for watching! 👍

[@jakemcculloch1374]

Do Manchester next please that would be ace

[@soundmojo]

@Jake McCulloch On the list! 👍

[@joeszczechowski8333]

[@sonofeloah]

There is one brit punk band that helped shape the "hard core punk" on both sides of the pond, GBH.

[@firstname9113]

What about Estelle? American Boy ft. Kanye West was a really good hit and she’s managed to star in various films/TV shows including Steven’s Universe!

[@soundmojo]

@First Name Love that track!!

[@myheadhurts1927]

Black American Blues started it all.

[@soundmojo]

so true! not to mention, Jazz, Soul, R & B, Hip Hop , Rap to name a few.

[@Sarana.]

It’s low-key ironic how they chose Song 2 to represent Blur when it’s Blur’s least Blur like song (and maybe that’s why it’s so popular?)

[@soundmojo]

@Sara Oona It's an anthem, always has been. 👍

[@streamsandgalaxies]

Two Tone.

[@Kblog777]

No mention of the New Romantics and the Blitz club.

[@soundmojo]

@Kblogg 777 👍

[@jaystev]

I’m an absolute Blur fan lol my spotify said I was in 0.001% of their listeners 😅 defo the best Britpop band imo

[@soundmojo]

@Jay Stevenson nice! 👍

[@lightemam]

Can anyone add some info about the bands or types of music that emerged particularly from East London and its immediate surroundings. The Who, Rolling Stones, I think, but maybe not and surely many others through the decades. Thanks!

[@鳥山明-x2m]

Where's Shoegaze?

[@tuuli4002]

Where is Paloma Faith?!! She is one of the England's best female artists. Though, she is not so know in outside UK. She is from London.

[@joannebarker7694]

No mention of Ska or Drum & Bass?

[@soundmojo]

@joannebarker7694 True! but there was just s much! We didn't even hit classical music either!

[@soundmojo]

@Minas Georgopoulos you nailed it!👍

[@ianjabali7]

I've never really understood the difference between alternative and progress rock

[@soundmojo]

@Ian Jabali Even within Prog Rock there are so many variants to what is "Progressive"

[@cassianofugacunha6386]

Porra! New Order! Cadê!!! And what about New Order?
