From Germany, of course it depends on what kind of music you like.
Die Ärzte are incredibly successful in Germany since 1982. They sold about 25 million records, which is a lot, considering Germany, Austria and Switzerland only have ~100mio people. Yet they have no international success at all, i suppose you have to be able to understand what they're saying to like them.

BAP sing in Cologne dialect, therefore also German subtitles
Also one of the most successful German bands.

Fettes Brot make non-evil-gangsterish hip-hop. Some songs have northgerman dialect such as

Wir sind Helden made German popmusic popular again in 2003(pop music used to be english in the 90s).

Clueso recently had success with his music. Less electro, more guitar than Wir sind Helden.

Erm... The Beatles? Fuck, they're the most well known band ever.
This may seem like a bit of a cop-out, but I recommend checking out some of Murray Gold's soundtracks for Doctor Who. The guy is seriously one of the best composers out there.
If you watch Doctor Who, then you probably know what I mean, but if you don't then here are two of (in my opinion) the most epic tracks he's made. The first one is unreleased as of yet and appeared in the End of Time episode.

Just noticed this, I fucking LOVE MC Chris, it winds me up that Frontalot get's so much press for "inventing" nerdcore as some kind of novelty rap genre, whereas Chris is just a fucking awesome rapper who happens to be a geek.Viciousmf said:
Skiller, Swedish metal band. They performed at my school three years ago. Sadly, that was before I grew into my niche in metal. So I didn't give them much attention. Then there is Raubtier, the shameless Rammstein ripoff, now only with heavier riffs. And I'm gonna mention In Flames. Why? Because I can. So:

Scroobius Pip and Dan le Sac are pure awesomeSampler said:Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Dan is a top DJ and remixer, you can pick up tons of his work right off his wordpress site for free; Scroobius Pip is a great spoken word poet, I just got his latest book through the post.
Put together they're a brilliant combination - pretty sure they're not big on the international scene as when I went to see them the other week I told people I was off to a gig "who you off to see?" followed by "who are they?"
And my mate has met Scroobius ¬_¬ bah.
But yes they are brilliant.
