Music from your country!

[Berethond]

I'm American. There's more good music than I can shake a stick at. (Or have time to listen to)

Care to provide an example...

Maybe something that might not escape your borders otherwise... In other words, a less popular band you think is good... I did it for my country, I came up with 4! America can definitely top Canada right? Bring it on!!!

<youtube=0mkZqMWp7Xo>That's a good start.

Also, isn't Daft Punk from France?

Apparently so. My bad.

Just quote someone with an embeded video... you should be able to figure it out from there...

 

[Ophiuchus]

Just to counter all of the inevitable rock and metal (although I do really like this song, and I know it'll annoy plenty of you):

Spoiler: Spoiler'd!

Nope, that's immense. Not my usual cup of Earl Grey but I could listen to it all day.

As for my suggestions... well, I'm British, the list could be endless so I'll restrict it to stuff from my region.

 

[Rewdalf]

Well hey, I managed to locate some Bulgarian Rock.
Sweet.

This is all I can think of from my european side. Guess the language...

Then there's my British side, which is naturally better at this....
Take your pick.....

O.T. you know being American it's pretty redundant to put something up not saying that we're all good just that most metal bands from america are extremely popular but hey just for the hell of it

All o' mine~
Guess ze country.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Well, being American, the only thing I can think of that we really pioneered was Jazz, and to a slight extent, rocknroll.
Unfortunately, nobody seems to care about Jazz anymore, and any RocknRoll achievements are mostly obscured by much better foreign stuff.
(But we did make jazz...)
