Blues, Jazz, Country, Rock and Roll, R&B, and Rap were all born here. If you want to take a musical pilgrimage, just start in New Orleans and then go to Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis, Chicago, and Detroit. Music has been and will always be (clearly this is 100% personal opinion) America鈥檚 greatest and most positive contribution to the world.

@SW-User I don't disagree just don't think it's a monopoly.
Blues as well only via the British boom led by Chris Barber and Alex Korner then Rolling Stones, Clapton, John Mayall, the animals Fleetwood Mac of course food the original Chicago (BB, Albert, Freddie, muddy. Otis etc). and Memphis guys (and girls Rosetta Tharpe etc) get USA mainstream exposure

The roots of British blues and metal as well as reggae start here. Black Sabbath (especially Bill Ward) was extremely Jazz influenced. Zeppelin doesn鈥檛 exist without the Blues. Purple is a mix of Jazz and Blues influences, with Jon Lord being classically influenced in addition to jazz and blues. Reggae exists because New Orleans long wave AM radio stations playing jazz and zydeco music could be heard in Jamaica. Cajun music and influences are the bedrock of reggae. @SW-User

I definitely don鈥檛 see it as a monopoly. My favorite band is The Rolling Stones, and most of my favorites are British. My point was just that America created the foundations, but those foundations have been awesomely enriched as they鈥檝e been consumed and reinterpreted by other countries and cultures. @SW-User

@SW-User and undoubtedly America in 20th century the place for musical instrument innovation... Martin acoustic guitars, Gibson acoustic and the jazz electric to solid bodied electric along with Fender. Fender of course created the electric bass and defined amplification (Marshall copied a Fender circuit for their seminal product). Then to Moog for the synth etc.
