Good modern European music (BESIDES straightforward metal).

[The Rockerfly]

Good is subject to opinion
Try Billy Joel, I think he is British and he's quite talented. Try "Piano Man"
Oh and also, The Who. Try "Baba O'Riely, Pinball Wizard and Magic Bus"
Hope that helps

Letzte Instanz is a good folk metal band. They're German, try their older stuff, it's much better.

 

[Pali]

Why has nobody mentioned Gogol Bordello?

Because they're from New York?

(Awesome music, though)

Armin Van Buuren makes really, really poor trance music. The kind of poppy Euro-schlock that gives the genre a bad name. And Basshunter? My God. You people know nothing about dance music.

Get yourself some trance education:

Art Of Trance - Retrospective
Mirco De Govia - Iconic Path
Chicane - Far From The Maddening Crowds
Vibrasphere - Archipelago
Blue Planet Corporation - Blue Planet
Space Manoeuvres - OID

All European, all albums, all released (or re-released) in the past couple of years so they shouldn't be hard to find.
