The Sound Of Your Country!

Aww, no fair. Travis, The fratellies (Theyre Irish but Glasgow based. Yayy!), Snow Patrol, Wet wet wet, Runrig, Biffy Clyro, the proclaimers, Paolo Nutini, Franz Ferdinand and the sansational alex harvey band (My uncles dad was in SAB, the drummer, George Magowan)

Most people have heard of these bands though as far as I know. If they havent I'd be suprised.

So here are two guys playing bagpipes in Edinburgh.

Straight from my hometown: f***ing Pantera!

All Latverian musical groups are at the mercy of Doom's incination, and they are all required to sing of Doom's greatness.

Out of character, I guess I could link Fallout Boy.

meh.. I don't know squat about Utah (where I was born) music...and Im not keen on Washington State (where I live now) music. Actually don't like American music much period (with some exceptions like Country) I prefer Scandanavian, German, and Irish music.

Scandanavian groups/singers I love: Wig Wam (a glam metal band. Just think of em as the Norwegien version of Kiss. They were in Eurovision in 2005), Hanne Boell (a Danish singer), Da Buzz (a Swedish group), S.P.O.C.K (Swedish techno group. They mostly sing songs pertaining to Star Trek and Star Wars with a couple about Babylon 5), Sissel (an awesome awesome Norwegien singer), Kurt Nilsen (he won Norwegien Idol), Espen Lind (Norwegien singer), Askil Holm (Norwegien)

Germany:
X-Perience is really the only group I like out of Germany ATM.

Irish:
Brian McFadden, Westlife, Ronan Keating

You do realize that this thread is not about what music you like listening to, but about music of where you live? Seriously, we have about three dozen threads with "What's your favourite kind of music?" in them, and you pick the one thread where that isn't the case? Come on, I know you're literate...

So for you, it would be Washington State and not Germany, which isn't even on the same continent as Washington State.

Anyways, there's this song that was immensely popular a year ago and still is to this day, because it's just awesome. They even play it in bars that usually play only heavy metal. It's called "Für 1 häts immer no glangt" by a band called Breitbild. The title translates to "There's always been room for one more" and it's basically a middle-finger-response to this country's working world without getting too offending. My favourite line from this one is "Hüt bruch i kei westliche Standard, öppis zum esse und trinke söt lange." ("Today, I don't need any western standards, something to eat and drink should be enough.") Anyways, here's the song, once again from the canton of Grabünden, in German again.

The Maritimes have a very large percentage of people of Scottish decent. This is a pipe band that I used to be in about 3 years ago (the band I'm on hiatus from right now has no videos D: ) at their highland gathering last summer!

Aww! I'm jealous that I left, Kinda miss hanging out with these kids and playing such awesome tunes!

Hey, they don't call me PipingPringle for nuthin', guys. Well, Ok.. right now they do.. but when I'm back in the fall, watch out!

Anyway, other bands from the Maritimes that I enjoy are (off the top of my head) The Joel Plaskett Emergency and Slainte Mhath

In the 1980's and 1990's, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dansband was very popular in Sweden and Norway.
