Now,before you write this off as just regular you-tube spam (if you don't know about it read this),because my post won't be super large, keep in mind we know very little about foreign music (people in general),and sometimes music is even better when you don't understand it :). Besides,this stuff wouldn't be easy to find (especially if you don't even know about the band or song,or even country!)
Anyway,these are my favorite songs from my favorite Croatian band Elemental (no,it isn't a tween band,its and actual mature awesome band ^_^). You might like it,maybe not,but someone might......
Best music from your country?
Pozdrav stari. Elemental is a great band, but rap is lyrically very heavy- the text is the important part, which is hard to comprehend when in foreign language- so I think this is a bad example.
I'll try and post some more, other Croatian bands, who get their points across with music, more so than rap ; )
Can't wait to hear some strange music! Post something!
Best music from my country
You didn't say (other than America)
Alice in Chains is one of those bands that I believe transcends time and genre. They're musically sound. Every section is of highest caliber from the bass lines from Mike Starr/Inez to Kinney's unique drum style and Laynes powerfull voice and lets not forget the amazing song composition, backup vocals, lead guitar work that Jerry Cantrell (my guitar hero) provides.. Sure some songs on their albums are a little out there, but the more you listen to them, the more you fall in love with the songs and the band.
Alright, Canada.. We have:
Celine Deon (nevermind, she sucks)
Avril Lavigne (nevermind, she sucks)
Justin Bieber (nevermind, it sucks)
And..
Rush! Yay, Rush!
Either this band(I know the song is a cover):
Those were the ones I could rememeber at this moment.
I think they made "What the Hell Have I" exclusively for the Last Action Hero movie, so it's not on any of their albums (it's on some essential type albums though). I liked their latest album but it obvious they'll never be the same without Layne. My favorite song on their new album has to be Check my Brain. AiC is more like a Jerry Cantrell solo album but with all the remaining members of AiC." @jams: I had never heard "What the Hell Have I" before this post. I like it a lot, what's your opinion on the current state of AiC? I saw them live back in March and thought they were pretty great. "
Here's some more good songs most people don't hear.
A Little Bitter
What'cha gonna do?
Rotten Apple
@Raymayne:
Ugh,i hate those damn small-time bands that don't even have enough money for concerts.
LOL
@Mrskidders: That's pretty good :D
In my opinion Brazil has some really shitty music, but theres a band that I really like called O Rappa. They mix rock, samba, MPB, and rap and also have socially aware lyrics. I think that their music has power behind it. Not just the lyrics, but the way that the instruments mix together
The very best of Scottish talent.
John Martyn is incredible.
"Beat me to it.
You might have heard this before.
These guys are from my hometown. You couldn't escape this song this summer even if you tired.
Pink Floyd, The Beatles, David Bowie, Radiohead, Ram Trilogy, Photek, Dom & Roland, Edward William Elgar, Black Sabbath, The Sex Pistols, Foreign Beggars, Jehst, Portishead, Massive Attack, The Prodigy.
To name but a few.
I'm gonna go all out and post some Norwegian music that is actually sung in Norwegian. At the same time it rocks hard.
This band here is a band you might know already. Kaizers Orchestra. This clip has a lot of extra stuff besides the song, but you don't know how good a band is till you've seen 'em live. If a band can't play well live, or an artist can't sing well live, then they kinda suck.
From the UK, some of my fav bands/songs:
Bloc Party - Helicopter;
The Rifles - Robin Hood;
S Club 7 - Reach;
Last song always makes me happy :D
I'm not Norwegian but i'm gonna pretend like I am and post some BLACK METAAAAAAL \m/
