International Tastes: Your Favorite Song from Your Country

[DustyDrB]

So I've been trying to get into music from other parts of the world, which is kind of hard because there's so much of it out there and most of it gets very little press here in the United States. Most non-US bands I listen to are from England (Arctic Monkeys) or Scotland (Frightened Rabbit). But I'd like to branch out more than that. Then I realized we have a nice international community here. So here's the idea, it's pretty simple: just post your favorite song that comes from a band from your country. And I'm not put off by songs if the lyrics aren't in English, so feel free to include those as well.

Mine: "Jesus, Etc" by Wilco (originated from Chicago)

Edit: Make sure to include where you're from

 

[Marter]

Ooh, another chance to post Lights' music. =D

Here's my current favourite from her:

From Canada!

 

[SomeLameStuff]

This song from I Not Stupid Too (which I keep telling people to watch, over and over again).


The subtitles are a bit lagged, so write them down or something.

EDIT: Found the full version of the song

 

[Wait...What]

One of the many things that make me proud to be English is Queen

Classic. It would make me proud as well.

Pretty good. And very pretty girl. Wow.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Wow, of all time. Jesus, there's too many to count...

My pick for today I guess would be Tom Wait's Going Out West

However, if I really sat down to think about it, I'd probly say something by Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, The Flaming Lips, or The Pixies. (I'm American if you can't tell yet)

 

[Elephant Walker19]

Well I don't live in Thailand at the moment so i'll just show you the only thai-pop song that I know

 

[DefunctTheory]

Johnny Cash, you brilliant bastard.

EDIT: I know, you wanted foriegn music. But you asked for MY country, so there

 

[Lullabye]

Canada

 

[Casimir_Effect]

Probably this (these):



and for when I'm in the mood for something shorter:


There aren't many great bands from my country (Scotland). But we do have some

With english lyrics is either Adept( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk-jlm178uA ) or
In Flames( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYymevj7CHk )
but swedish lyrics it must be Skitarg (Really angry)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GSl1W1RmU4
.Greetings from sweden

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Destroy the Orcs by 3 Inches of Blood. Most groups I listen to hail from Europe, it's rare that I find homegrown metal I adore.

 

[kewlness]

Alesana, Alexisonfire, All that Remains, All Time Low, Apocalyptic (with three days grace), Atreyu, avril lavigne, basshunter, breaking benjamin, bullet for your valentine, disturbed, eminem (new album only, the one with not afraid in it), escape the fate, Evanescence, fireflight, flyleaf, hoobastank (new albums, with crawling in the dark), hopes die last, some kesha songs, the letter black , linking park, MSI, my chemical romance, nickelback, nightwish, paparoach, pillar , red, the jumpsuit apparatus, rise against, rucka rucka ali, silverstein some songs, skillet, three days grace, vanessa amarosi, 3oh3

all of these from my personal collection, all favourites... some u may like some you may not... because theres a wide array of genres

 

[Fridge]

From here, I think the last song I liked that came from the UK was Newton Faulkners Badman.

 

[Furious Styles]

You Can't Always get What You Want by the Rolling Stones


Its so over the top, with the choir and all, its brilliant.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Hmmm... Favourite song from Canada...


Or maybe


Or perhaps


Or...


I fucking love this country.

 

[Timmehexas]

Australia: Kate Miller-Heidke




I just like Kate in general, her music is quite weird and kooky but I like all types of music.

Oh I finally found a non-acoustic version of Gods gift to women but it has twilight in the background, well at least its making fun of it...

 

[Adzma]

Hell's Bells by AC/DC. Fuck yeah!

Spoiler

Hell's Bells [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Kjh9lQXLWk]

EDIT: Also, Australia of course!
