bump because I'm interest to hear how it is in other nations.

Madnestan listens nu/progresssive metal, punk/ska-punk and reggae mostly, but the diversion is great and almost all genres are represented to atleast some degree.

At this moment the most popular songs are the Army's official anthem, No Shelter! by Rage Against The Machine, and Bloodhound Gang's Fire Water Burn.

OOC-BTW - Swilatia, tell your people to start listen some REAL Finnish metal, instead of that Lordi shit. Children of Bodom, Ajattara, Norther, Stam1na... We have dozens of band ten times better than Lordi!

In ri-an, it is a certain group/person who is most popular.

That would be The Black Mages/Nobuo Uematsu.

Other video Game Music Composers are also liked, but Uematsu is most popular.

Let me know what your popular music is once you can.

From Paradise247 Tourist Information leaflet #23

The traditional music is a mixture of Polynesian, Indonesian and Caribbean influences, an effect of the country's historical status as a Dutch colony.

During the last 15 years, tourism has become increasingly important for the country's economy. The many disco's, bars, and pubs that are now present in the country (especially on the so-called "Tourist Island") have added all modern styles to the local charts. The many tourist oriented radio- , and television stations have also played a very important role in this development.

Younger generations tend to closely follow the trends in other countries, while the elderly typically prefer more traditional melodies. This obviously contributes to the "generation gap" in many households.

Fortunately, however, Paradise247's traditional style of music is not in any danger of extinction. In fact the exotic and intoxicating rhythms go very well with modern music, and the country's fledgling music industry includes a number of artists who show "great promise", according to a recent review in the internationally renowned Flying Brick magazine.

The most acclaimed Music Composers:

Hana Appa-She has composed for over 40 feature films, and has over 17 nominations and 11 wins. Dazzeling Orchestral Music, powerful, and great songs, amazing lyrics.

Taji Ikari-Wrote the music score to the film "Yasashii." It was his first film composition, when he was 25. Today, he writes for numerous films. He loves writing for Advneture/Fantasy Movies. But he will compose for anything.

Ronald Hillard-Writes mostly for drama films. He usually is known for his amazing string ensemble pieces. Played the Chello as a kid.




Acclaimed Bands:

IceSickle-Sing about love, the enviroment, any issue they want. Sing for games, movies, charity organizaitons. Patriots, made several songs about their nation, even did remixes of old patriotic melodies and battle hymns. They have everything for everyone, kids-adults. Even soft lullabyes for newborns

YIN&YANG-Mostly love and romance songs. While some become a bit risque, many adults say they've either had their first date in a place where a song was playing, or proposed. They contribute to several school music groups.

See-Saw-Hit Pop Band. Mostly have sung for small adventure films, and videogames, but teens love them.

FIRE&WATER-A big band in the Game Genre
