Do you listen to music from other countries? In my cd collection I have music from

England - Kinks, David Bowie, Kevin Ayers, Nick Drake etc
US - Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop, a lot of old blues music, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday, some bluegrass etc
Jamaica - lots and lots of dub reggae
Brazil - 60s tropicalia like Os Mutantes, and things like Astrud Gilberto
France - Faure and Satie
Germany - Bach, Kraftwerk
Italy - Vivaldi
Canada - Leonard Cohen
Ireland - lots of Irish traditional music

What countries do you have music from?

Finland - Nightwish, Apocalyptica
Netherlands - Within Temptation
Norway - A-Ha
Austria - L'Âme Immortelle

Every other band I regularly listen to is from one of my countries.

Perhaps I should have said I am from Enland.

Finland - Korpiklaani, Nightwish
Germany - Rammstein

I live in England and listen to the killers. I'm so eclectic.

My favourite musician is Tchaikovsky, but i'm half Russian so i wont count that as music from a different country.

I've got tons of American, Finnish and English cd's

So many...I hardly have any music from Netherlands (where I live), actually, most of my music is British (Mike Oldfield, Shpongle, FSOL, to name a few). Other nations include most of Europe, US, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Kazachstan and other central asian countries, Iran, Israel, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan.

A friend of mine has made it to her mission to collect some music from every country of the world. I'm not that obsessed, but I like to explore.

I find it amusing that you'd bunch classical and contemporary music as being from certain countries.

Anywho, I guess I like some anime and video game music, or have before, which is of course from Japan (well, much of video games, at least)

Australia- Howling Bells, Silverchair, The Dissociatives, Ultimate Army of Prawns

Austria - Hollenthon

Canada- Alanis Morissette, The Arcade Fire, Liva, Unexpect

Denmark - Volbeat

Finland - Callisto

Iceland - Sigur Ros

Japan - Sigh

Netherlands- Another Messiah

Sweden - Diablo Swing Orchestra, Draconian

US - Abney Park, Beirut, Between the Buried and Me, Breathe Carolina, Cave In, Emilie Autumn, The Flaming Lips, The Forgotten Archetype, Genghis Tron, Idiot Pilot, iwrestledabearonce, My Chemical Romance, Paloalto, Rabbit Junk, Stolen Babies, System of A Down, Tub Ring, Xasthur

i listen to any music that sounds like the kinds of music i like that i can get my ears on for legitimately free. so far i have a number of ram bajans i think their called, some kind of hindu religeous music from india, and samples of several popular muscians from nepal, and of course lots of samples of 'berlin school' ambient tecno electronica, my favorite, that it really doesn't too much matter WHAT part of the world THEY come from. lets see, i've got some j-pop, j-not so pop, even a tiney bit of j-jazz, that's totally trippy.
also a tiney bit of french acid punk.

i don't actually speak ANY of those languages, and undoubtedly some of the lyrics i might like less if i actually did understand them.

i just happen to like strainge. certain kinds of strainge anyway, and if it happens to come from some place that is also strainge to me, so much the better.

Well Indian classical music is completely to Western classical music or Indonesian classical music or Chinese classical music. I admit there is more to this than where something comes from but I was just interested in how wide a spectrum of different types of music people listened to and this was a convenient way of doing it.

I'm international where it comes to music. My iPod could be considered the UN. I'm so eclectic that (unless you're talking about rap) I listen to everything.

Spain- Mägo de Oz, Melendi, Ojos de Brujo, El Sueño de Morfeo, Fran Perea, La Oreja de Van Gogh, Piperrak, Ska-p, Estopa, ect.

Germany- Eisbrecher, Oomph!, Nina Hagen, Joachim Witt, Megaherz, Unheilig.

England- Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Dido, Alisha's Attic.

Ireland- Clannad, Máire Brennan, Enya, U2, Aoife Ní Fhérraigh, Connie Dover, Chieftains, The Cranberries, Altan.

Scotland- Capercaillie.

US- a lot of artists I'm too lazy to name.

Colombia- Aterciopelados.

Mexico- Jaguares, Moenia, Julieta Venegas, Ely Guerra, Maná.

Argentina- Los Cafres

Japan- Gackt, Utada Hikaru, Japan-X, T.M. Revolution, Hirano Aya, Hamasaki Ayumi, Megumi Hayashibara, HYDE, L'arc en Ciel, Sunset Swish, Takahashi Hitomi, Jinn, Lemons and Oranges, Kaori, Kaori Hikita, Okina Reika, Buck-Tick, Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, On/Off, Wakeshima Kanon, Orange Range, V6, Do as Infinity, RSP, Agatsuma Hiromitsu, amongst those I can recall at the top of my head.

Korea- Cherry Filter, Witches, Taeyeon, HaHa, Seeya, Kwon BoA.

India- more or less Bhangra.

Canada- Alanis Morisette

New Zeland- Oceania, Haylee Westernra

Africa- Amina, Khaled

Turkey- Tarkan

Lapland- Nightwish

Panama- Rubén Blades

Peru- La Ley

Jamaica- Bob Marley, Sister Nancy, Burning Spear

Italy- Lacuna Coil, Tiziano Ferro, Nek

Russia- Origa

I admit there is more to this than where something comes from but I was just interested in how wide a spectrum of different types of music people listened to and this was a convenient way of doing it.

Well I think it's safe to assume that the modern concept of melody is mostly based on European classical, if not completely. All true classical, or the old music styles that are commonly referred to as such have the same basic theory behind them. I really wouldn't call other styles of music "classical", although, of course, if one wants to play semantics you can call anything whatever you want. But anyways, I think it would suit things better to separate music into something other than countries, like western classical, eastern folk, or the common genres like rock, etc. Music today, especially popular music isn't that distinctive among countries unless you're an intense aficionado.

Most of the music I listen to is from somewhere in the UK and Ireland, Austria or Germany (yes, I recently bought a PUR album.... shame on me!). I've got some things from Quebec and France as well, but I can't be bothered to list all the names, sorry.

With the exception of Rap and Urban, I listen to a bit of everything.

Then I am an intense aficionado - there are differences to me in reggae that comes from Jamaica compared to English reggae like UB40 or Steel Pulse, there are also reggae bands in Scandinavia and Africa all of which are subtly influenced by the country they are from.

Same with the blues - Eric Clapton playing Crossroads is totally different from Robert Johnson playing it.

Indian Classical music is just as sophisticated as (probably more so in some ways) the Western tradition. It is based on different ideas about time signatures, melodies etc.. Nowadays Western ideas about harmony and temperament have become all conquering, and so we have genres like Bhangra that combine elements of both - but I would still argue that there is a distinctive Indian-ness about the music.

Well hey, that's fine, that's your opinion. But still, to me isolated references don't really prove a certain style decidedly represents a country. I'd be willing to bet that for every instance where that is evident there are much more where it's not.

Very little of my music is Irish.

France, Germany, US

I'm sure most of my music is from the US, UK and Canada, although I know I have some Irish music and I'm sure there's stuff from Oz or NZ in there somewhere. I also have a fair bit of music from France and Québec, being the raging francophile that I am.

Now lets see,


America of course
England
Germany
Sweeden (Yes it is ABBA in case you were wondering :p)
Italy
Canada
Austria
Ireland

And I think that is about all I may have others, but I don't know and I really can't be bothered looking through my CD collection and computer to look.

I listen to lots of German music, and I'm also fond of a Russian band called Аукцыон.

Hey, more than a few of people listen to Finnish music! I ,listen mosty Yank music and Brit music. There are only three guys from Fnland that I listen to: Sibelius, J.Karjalainen and Poets of the Fall.

From non english speaking countries....that come to mind (I'm in work)

Sweden - Amon Amarth, Entombed, Bathory
Switzerland - Celtic Frost
Germany - Rammstein, Kreator, KMFDM,
Latvia - Skyforger
Netherlands - Gorefest
Brazil - Sepultura

I don't give a shite what language or accent its in, as long as it sounds good.

Aye I listen to other countries' stuff.

My CD collection is mainly US/UK music but when online I've found bands I like from France, Norway, Sweden and Australia.

I have lots of foreign songs, some of which I don't even understand.

Australia: Sick Puppies
Canada: Silverstein, Alanis Morrissette, Evans Blue
USA: Ludo, Breaking Benjamin, Faktion, Flaw, Hoobastank, Thursday

For those I can't understand, I have:
Germany: Oomph!
Italy: Lacuna Coil, Lost, Vanilla Sky, Subsonica
Slovenia: Siddharta

I also have a few songs from Poland, Slovakia, Spain, and Brazil. I am welcome to recommendations.

Also, if anyone wants to listen to songs in my native langauge, I'd gladly recommend you some. :wink:

(And yeah, it's me, Brutland and Norden. Can't post under my account. :()

I like a lot of European metal (Arch Enemy, Carcass, Misanthrope, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Bullet for My Valentine, Dark Funeral, Rammstein, Skindred, probably others).
I sort of like Sepultura (Brazilian Metal), but I think that's mainly because I love how painfully earnest, yet slightly ridiculous the lead singer sounds. Chaos A.D., especially, has some good examples of this ("The Hunt," "Biotech Is Godzilla" and "Amen Inner Self").
I also listen to a lot of Canadian music (Unexpect, Joydrop, The New Pornographers, Neko Case, Loreena McKennitt), but they're practically part of the US, anyway. So it doesn't much make a difference.
Of late, however, Australians (lead by Nick Cave, Sia Furler and Dropkick), have been infiltrating my music collection. I shall have to keep an eye on them, lest the upset my carefully constructed Trans-Atlantic balance.

What countries do you have music from?
Well, mostly Europe, Russia and USA, and something from South America and some bit from Japan.

Mmh, let's see.

Most (metal) bands I listen to are either from the UK or he US. They're also from Sweden, Finland, or Germany. Ireland. Australia is also on the list. Jamaica. Then classical music. That includes Germany, Austria, Italy, the UK, and some Eastern European countries as well.

Very little from South or Middle America (except for some metal), nothing really from Africa or Asia. Maybe the odd song, but no albums or bands.

US: Metallica, Kiss, a bunch of others I can't think of right now

Brittain: Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin (how the hell can one not listen to Led Zeppelin?), Black Sabbath, etc.
Germany: Scorpions, Rhamstein

To death.

Um, yeah. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's diverse. Off the top of my head I have stuff from Brazil, America, UK, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Finland, Spain, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, France, Canada...and probably a dozen others. But that's pretty much all rock, metal, ska and punk. Hardly a shining light of diversity.

.... yes. Those would be the people I'm talking about.

So what is your point? That of course everyone listens to US music regardless of where they are from?

Do you listen to music from other countries?

What countries do you have music from?

Britain: David Bowie
Canada: The Agonist
Spain: Amaral
Germany: Rammstein, Eisbrecher, Viktoria Fersh

Indeed, I always find it funny how musicians think they have the answer to all the problems and know what they are taking about.

Some do know what they are talking about to a degree even when their viewpoint opposes mine.

But when you have those where it is plainly clear to see that they have no clue, I find that funny and annoying when I am watching a live band and they go on about shit like this.

Just shut the fuck up and sing.

Yep and enjoying it too. Maybe it's something you could post on the "Dick move" thread.

Yup


They are from Germany

Most of my music comes from America (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qOM107PIxV8) and all four corners of Britain - Scotland (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2-OT3F8aTRs), England (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kZGvnI37mxk), Wales (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YW0KoK_Gtyc) and Northern Ireland (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=UOhD6Xk3kW8). There's also some from Australia (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb45RkfWjV0), Canada (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NNfWC4Sgkcs) and Iceland (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=l2loVEqBW5Q).

Oh ok, yeah I suppose I should have done that, the song I had playing of theirs was Kernkraft 400 pretty good but that may just be because I enjoy techno.

I'm listening to it right now, certainly interesting

From Spain you should listen to Mägo de Oz and to Piperrak. I'm sure you'll enjoy both.

You like Mägo de Oz?!! Awesome!

And some Ives and Bernstein. And being a choral person, some Whitacre or Lauridsen. Although American music can be quite similar, there is a wide range of stuff.

I find I identify best with British classical music, but do love some European or American variance.

It's called a "joke."

This has got to be one of the stupidest NSG threads ever

Not as stupid as your threads.

The vast majority of music I listen to is from other countries.


Particularly Britian, France, Scandinavia, and Poland.

For me, most of the music I listen to is American, but the music I listen to the most is from oversees... :D

Why?

Because saying you like one of the eleventy billion pieces of American music isn't much a conversational gambit. If you only like music from your own country you are a freak

Maybe the next thread can be "do you like any cuisine other than that of your own country?". WHAT? You like Italian food TOO? OMFG it's like we're soulmates!

If its such a bad thread, why are you posting here?

Oh relax.

I love how you say one thing and everybody takes it really seriously and literally. I was just thought it was funny how people were earnestly describing how they liked some British bands. Wow, what a find!

1. Germany [marches, orchestral]
2. Austria [marches, orchestral]
3. United States [marches, orchestral]
4. United Kingdom [anthem, RULE BRITANNIA!!! o/ o/ ]
5. Soviet Union [anthem, marches, orchestral]
6. China [pop music]
7. Russia [anthem]
8. France [anthem]
9. United States [the very, very rare moment when I listen to something other than classical; really stupid songs, perhaps]

Woah I think you need to relax dude. People where asked a question and they answered if it so happens that they like music that has come out of the states then so be it, and no it may not be surprising to hear but there you go. Methinks Sirmomo doth protest to much.

I listen to a lot of Power Noise (bands such as fiendflug, SAM(both German) and Nachtmar (Austrian) and other industrial such as Harsh E.B.M such as Grendel (Norway), Tactical sekt(US), alien vampires(England)

another good one would be :Wumpscut: (German)

most western countries make industrial, oh and so does mexico (hocico and amduscia)

It's quite heavy electronic music and its awesome

Marduk rules.


That is all.

I'm listening to it right now, certainly interesting

Interesting, is that a way of saying I'm not a big fan? lol

4. United Kingdom [anthem, RULE BRITANNIA!!! o/ o/ ]
If you're into UK music, I can serious recommend Massive Attack and Portishead. Great chillout tunes.

From Canada I listen to Billy Talent, Mobile, Nickelback, Stabilo and Sam Roberts

As for foreigners...

USA: 2pac, Audioslave, Biggie Smalls, Bon Jovi, The Doors, Foo Fighters, The Game, Linkin Park, Maroon 5, Michael Jackson, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Smashing Pumpkins

UK: Coldplay, Radiohead, The Clash, The Beatles

Ireland: U2

Jamaica: Sean Paul

I'm into Japanese rock at the moment, specifically the band Last Alliance. And I don't think anyone mentioned The Pillows...

I have Russian-Armenian music TATA by Reflex a really good beat
RBD- Tu amor, Hay un Algo, and fuera
American: All kinds
Dutch: Band Zonder Bannan Kronjuweel that is really good i am not even dutch and i know the words

i listen to pretty much every thing except Raegae

Interesting, is that a way of saying I'm not a big fan? lol

Its fun, but not something that I'll be adding to my collection, although I will be keeping it in mind for future listens on youtube when I'm in the mood for it.

Scotland: Biffy Clyro, Mogwai, Sucioperro
England: Oceansize, the Kinks, the Beatles, the Who, Radiohead, Muse
Wales: Manic Street Preachers, Funeral for a Friend
Northern Ireland: Snow Patrol, Ash, In Case of Fire, the Undertones

There we go, music from four countries that I listen to regularly, but conveniently also all from the same country.

God bless our fucked up constitutional arrangement.

:eek::eek::eek:

I... you... that... so wrong.

I KNOW!!!! I don't know what happened there... it was a moment of nostalgia for my teenage years... :$

Don't forget Glass and Cage. I love me some crazy-people music, too.

Cage is crazy. La Monte Young as well. I prefer John Adams and Steve Reich in that stream.

But still, being a Renaissance junkie, I'd be awfully sad if I had to cut out all my European music. :tongue:

This would be a problem, though there are some Spanish composers that migrated to Mexico/Central America during the 16th century.

It's called a "joke."

Indeed it was, and I was merely adding my own thoughts to the topic.

La Monte Young - didn't he influence John Cale of the Velvet Underground?

La Monte Young - didn't he influence John Cale of the Velvet Underground?

Wiki seems to agree with this statement: he studied with Young and Cage before starting the band.

La Monte Young is perhaps the first minimalist (in the 20th century sense of the word). The first few minutes of his String Trio only has 3 held notes, gradually entering and leaving. Very crazy.

You like Mägo de Oz?!! Awesome!

I do, I do. Their cover of "Dust in the Wind" kicks ass. Also "Danza del fuego" and "El Flautista" are some of my favorites.

I also recommend Radio Futura... yes I'm old. :(

Radio Futura? Ala, pues yo debo de ser muy chavala porque no les recuerdo. :eek2:

Just listened to some of his work on youtube - can see where John Cale's use of drones comes from. Strangely it had a link to some Terry Riley which I have on vinyl but haven't listened to in years.

This cover (http://www.imeem.com/people/jEmyPf5/music/srjIYBH_/davichi_davichiromantic_catmp3/) has me doing circles around my office!!

I love Davichi!!!:fluffle:

I love lots of international music - and from different decades

Chilean - El Pueblo Unido http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=eY6u7aQlsxY
France - Jaques Brel, Edith Piaf
America - where to stop (but especially the 60s and 70s)
Ireland - The Cranberries (Dolores O'Riordan has such a gutsy voice)

Here's one from my country (Australia) which features our Prime Misiter apologising to our aborigines for over 200 years of abuse and neglect. The aboriginal reconcilliation speech and this song was greeted with tears of relief by many aborigines who had waited a long time for a formal apology:

Apologies if I have missed a post but am I right in saying nobody has mentioned any African music yet?

Well, that would only be because I forgot one off my list...

Dobet Gnahore - Côte d'Ivoire

I prefer rock and the like, but right now I'm digging Yelle.

I want to see you in a porno flick
