I'll start!

NO CHEATING!

Originally from South Africa and music is not what south africa is known for, but here's a song my dad found, it's quite good:

Whoah, look! No Kraftwerk, and certainly no Rammstein. Instead, I'll give you...


As for the country I'm living in, it probably has to be

A few lads from Queensland do a new spin on an oldie.


This song is just about every stereotype about Australia rolled into one.


A song dedicated to every young man in Australia who went to Vietnam.

All 100%, true blue Aussies.

Pretty much the only good Dutch band that ever existed. Together with this one:

 

[MisterM2402]

Here's some more awesome music from Poland if you do not like death metal

Quite an improvement
It's still not *quite* what I like, but I can understand why other people *would* like it.
With death metal, I guess I just don't understand what its possible attraction is to its fans.

Sorry for being harsh in relation to your musical tastes, but I just don't "get" them haha.

Let's go with a little something from my home city of Chicago in the US

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

In my opinion this is the best band from Northern Ireland in a long time! I give you General Fiasco!

I know someone who would probably bang his head of the wall for you saying that. His favourite band from NI is And So I Watch You From Afar.

OT: I am just going to stick up both sides as much as I can remember.
U2, Thin Lizzy, Van Morrison, And So I Watch You From Afar, Chors, Cranberrys, Clannad, Sinéad O'Connor, The Pogues, Kila, Westlife, Boyzone, Snow Patrol, Coronas, The Script, Damien Rice, Aslan, My Bloody Valentine, Ash, The Dubliners, Christie Moore.

I'm sure you've probably heard of at least one of those.
