Yugoslavia came close or even beat it in many areas. The two only true rock industries in the world tough, at least in the 70's and 80's. Sadly 99% of the people have never heard of any of the thousands of songs that are on the level of the best stuff made by the most famous English-speaking bands.

Jaxon the real MVP when it comes to "older" music. Always giving me hope for Gen Z. 😂🙌
it warms my heart to see teens getting into the old classics. It's the real basis for music education Jaxon is a boss
Jaxon is raised properly. I'm proud of this kid
I got to the Queen bit and couldnt help thinking Freddie would be so happy knowing these kids still get excited by his music.

The guy in the black T-Shirt singing 'You Really Got Me' by The Kinks, was really going for it, and has a great voice. I could see him being a lead singer in a rock band.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the guy in the black T-shirt,nothing but good vibes from him
As a Brit I'm impressed that they knew so many. Seeing youngsters excited about tracks that I first heard when I was young, makes me feel the excitement all over again!

Jaxons parents did a great job
Jaxon is the star of the video as usual
As a 73 year old Englishman, and a massive Rock fan, these kids warm my heart, and they know their stuff.
What a great kid Jaxon is, he loves his music.
This doesn't even scratch the surface of great British rock bands. Dire Straits, being my personal favourite rock band of all time, then you still have bands like The Cure, The Smiths, Tears for Fears. It's perceptionally endless.
These teens should dive deep into Queen's catalog and listen to some of their underrated songs including ones where Freddie doesn't sing lead
I remember Lemmy saying in an interview, "I wish we'd sold an album for every bloody t-shirt..." 🤣
I love the kid with the black shirt who sang. Great job…these young people actually knew some of the BANDS.
I’m so glad Jaxon is in these episodes 🔥
The kid in the black T-shirt can really sing.
This was a lot of fun to watch, as a 58-year-old Brit :) The guy in the black shirt was particularly impressive, knew almost all the lyrics. Well done, American teens! Glad you enjoyed these.
The Beatles, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Queen, The Police, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Sex Pistols, Def Leppard, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Oasis, Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, etc. those were the definition types of classic rock, hard rock, punk rock, pop, and heavy metal in British culture-history.

The really crazy thing about Sex pistols is that they were only active for 3 years, but had such a huge impact and are still listened to today.
Where's Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac (original line up), Depech Mode, Judas Priest?
I find it funny the kids knew Queen and Led Zeppelin. Both bands were famous when I was born. It just goes to show that good music transcends time.

Also very, VERY cute how Jaxon got Emma going. How long have they both been reacting for now? Almost 10 years I presume? You can see there's some friendship between them. :)

I've seen a few of these, and that Jaxon kid really knows his music, fair play to him. You should do a video with him of with more obscure stuff and see what he makes of it, because he's always enthusiastic about whatever you give him. Give him some stuff like Saxon, Supertramp, Yes, Suede, etc. Stuff that wasn't quite as mainstream.
