Foreign Music that ROCKS

[Joos]

Some Swedish stuff that I really like.

Spoiler: Kent - Dom Andra (The Others)

Spoiler: Kent - Kärleken Väntar (Love Awaits) (contains some nudity and themes, so don't click if you are easily offended.

Spoiler: Nåid - Blåstjärnan (the Blue Star) The recording is very poor quality of this youtube clip, but I still think its awesome. Surreal, trance-inducing.

Spoiler: Mustasch - Forever Begins Today Still classed as foreign music? I don't care, its groovy, it rocks and its from Sweden. Win!

Spoiler: Gustaf Grefberg - Drone Mile Part of the Riddick game Assault on Dark Athena. I enjoyed the game a lot, but the music score really improved the experience for me, and the game would have been less without it.

Spoiler: No Swedish music list is complete without at least a nod to the Swedish Chef.

while looking at this thread my brother told me to look up a song and its now in my heart and head forever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3S4dBk4E1g

 

[Joos]

Foreign? (According to who?) Or non-English?

(Can't figure out how to embed youtube videos, and 30 min of googling didn't help either. That HTML code eithr works, but refuses to show in the preview of my post. Or it doesn't, in which cas you can just use this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhv_UB-8Lw4)

Easy mate. Type youtube=videocode, where videocode is replaced by the youtube ref code, and put it all in brackets. So, for this video:

You type in [ youtube=B88ZLp3Sx9k]

Easy!

Firstly, the premise of this topic is absurd. We are on the bloody internet. The most famous contributor to this site is Australian. One of the most popular groups of people are Canadian. A great wad of the user base is anything but American. Shape up or ship out.

Secondly:

Gogol Bordello. Intro's a bit quiet.

Except that Gogol Bordello is an American band.

Thirdly:

Behold the Swedish awesomeness that is Graveyard, you ethnocentric bastards:

[Puzzlenaut]

My unequivocal favourite foreign song. Its just perfect.

Nena rocks

 

[Skylants]

[Frenger]

Sigur Ros ftw.

 

[Mr C]

The Smashing Pumpkins are my favourite foreign band, their best album in my opinion is Siamese Dream.

 

[imperialreign]

Just to get started, as the vast majority of music I listen to anymore is all from Europe . . . some bands to defi check out:

 

[Voodoomancer]

I live in Iceland, About everything I listen to is foreign music to me.

[Hristo Tzonkov]

there is loads better, but this the best i could find on short notice. also, japanese rock is totally awesome!next to the english and yanks, japan have the best music composers in the world.there are loads of examples, but i'll give ya just 2:

I hate that kind of japanese music.They are amazing people and composers and go out of their way to make shitty copies of western songs...As an example all rock artists seem to be copying David Bowie.Only they suck.Their more traditional things are exceptional.Like this:

OT:Foreign is a bit weird since the forums are international.But if you want non-american and something more traditional for other countries I can give a few examples.Like Gogol Bordello.Gypsy punk rock at it's best .
