What Country Produces Your Favorite Music?

Cardiff Giant11 · 01-31-09, 09:53 PM

I was listening to some songs the other day and I realized that despite my favorite band Rush being from Canada and liking numerous American (and a surprisingly high number of Australian bands and artists), a large percentage of the bands that I like are British despite being 100% born and bred American. Any one country strongly represented in your collection?

troystiffler · 01-31-09, 11:03 PM

America and the UK.

astrochimp · 01-31-09, 11:35 PM

England by far.

California and the UK

UAIOE · 02-01-09, 04:23 AM

England.

USA is 2nd.

Hank Ringworm · 02-01-09, 05:38 AM

Since half of my collection consists of American folk music, I'll say the US.

rw2516 · 02-01-09, 06:45 AM

All my favorite bands are british: Zeppelin, Bad Co., Stones, Who, Clapton, Mott the Hoople

The one all-time favorite that is U.S. are Blue Oyster Cult

starman9000 · 02-01-09, 08:23 AM

In my collection it's America by far, but if I were to list my favorites the UK and Canada would be close second and thirds.

The Bus · 02-01-09, 10:58 AM

UK, the US, and Mali.

cdollaz · 02-01-09, 01:10 PM

I like both types of music: country and western.

GatorDeb · 02-01-09, 01:42 PM

The genre

edclem · 02-01-09, 04:39 PM

If I were to go through my collection, I'd say close to half (and probably 80-90% of the music that I've purchased in the last 4-5 years) is from one of the following four countries: Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark....pretty much for the same reason (and bands) as Traxan.

mndtrp · 02-01-09, 05:27 PM

Over the past 5 years or so, Sweden, easily.

Amon Amarth
The Haunted
Dark Tranquillity
In Flames
Sybreed

Prior to that, probably the US.

Ace Of Spades · 02-01-09, 06:14 PM

UK, then followed closely by the US...distant 3rd from Canada...the rest of the world follows pretty much equally at 4th place.

nodeerforamonth · 02-01-09, 11:04 PM

Sweden, then Australia. Then USA.

Swedish rock has been just about the best place going for the past 10 years if you like rock. The Hellacopters, Sewergrooves, Backyard Babies, Demons, The Maggots, Sator, The Nomads, Entombed, Hardcore Superstar, the Hives, Psychotic Youth, Union Carbide Productions... the list goes on...

Australia has the Saints, the Victims, the Hitmen, Hoodoo Gurus, Musclecar, Devilrock Four, Celibate Rifles, Radio Birdman, Mustang, Brother Brick, Persian Rugs, Challenger 7, Asteroid B-612... just naming these fantastic rock bands off the top of my head... tons more...

USA of course has had more than it's fair share... I'm mainly talking recent rock (within 10 years) here... Of course the US is so vast, it's better to mention cities of rock when comparing to other countries. Minneapolis in the '80s, Seattle in the '90s, San Diego in the early '90s, San Francisco in the '80, NYC in the '70s or Boston or Detroit in their heydays are just as good as Australia & Sweden.

cactusoly · 02-01-09, 11:11 PM

England...

Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Deep Purple
Motorhead

Sierra Disc · 02-01-09, 11:59 PM

USA and Britain tops obviously

But Australia and New Zealand close behind

John_Shil · 02-02-09, 12:11 AM

Strangely, having never been there and having no connection to the country, Germany.

ASP, Der Bote, Corvus Corax, Dein Schatten, Eisbrecher, E Nomine, Estampie, Eric Fish, Garmarna, In Extremo, Infamis, Janus, KMFDM, Letzte Instanz, Megaherz, OOMPH!, Qntal, Rammstein, Subway to Sally, Tanzwut, Unheilig, Witt

Probably missed a few, but yes. Germany makes my favorite music.

Giles · 02-02-09, 08:42 AM

UK and Sweden.

wendersfan · 02-02-09, 08:51 AM

Scotland

KillerCannibal · 02-02-09, 11:39 AM

Norway, Sweden, Finland, U.S. and U.K.

The Cow · 02-02-09, 12:42 PM

Currently it's Finland by far. Sweden is probably second.

Charlie Goose · 02-02-09, 12:47 PM
