Being a fan of classic rock for like 2 decades, and listening to a shit ton of them in high school, I just never really thought about it. Always assumed they were an American band.

Then just this weekend I was reading something about them and found out they were formed in England.

One of the biggest surprises in my life lol.

I know you're just being a dick, but theyre like incredibly British, so everyone knows that. I think that's why I never realized it. All the great British Rock bands came off as very British. Led Zeppelin just never did to me for whatever reason.

Because the bulk of their library was plagiarized from American blues, usually Willie Dixon.

Britain (and especially England) had a musical golden age from the 60s to the 90s, it's amazing how much good music they produced during that time.

Absolutely agree.

Like, I'm not bothered it, or surprised like 'durr hurr uk sux lmao' but more just cuz like Question said, their music borrows a lot from American blues/folk.

I always knew they were British but I do understand why you wouldn't assume. Their stuff borrows a lot from the American sound. If you listen to most other British bands of the time, certainly their earlier stuff, it's all just trying to sound like the Beatles.

Imagine +1ing this garbage post.

Apparently some dude dont listen to music and just get their info from "Facebook Top Ten Bands You Only THINK You Like!" lists.

"Bulk of their library".....get that ignorant shit outta here. Listening before speaking is a pretty basic social skill. :)
