Most definitely Ayreon!

Lostprophets (half English and half Welsh i am )

Cruchan and Primordial from the Repulblic of Ireland. Gotta love a bit of Celtic Metal.

Shihad, bro! The New Zealand kings of rock :D

-Joe

The Cure.

I'm from Edmonton Canada, and as I've done before I personally apologize for Nickelback. I'm so sorry, guys.

As for Canadian Bands I like, I have nothing but love for Rush, as well as Joni Mitchell. Did you know that 'Blue' is one of Prince's favorite albums?

Movits!(spelled with the exclamation mark"

Modest Mouse, by far greater than most others from this country.

Anvil

TheCameraman:

I'm adding another of my favorite bands from Norway.

Vamp:

Månemannen

Tir Na Noir

Keep them coming, loads of great bands I've never ever heard of before here, and some great big ones as well. :)

That's pretty awesome.
Too bad I don't speak Norwegian...

Dispatch...I think they're American

Like I say to every other "Favorite Band" thread Dresden Dolls or HumanWine.

AC/DC.. or a lesser known band Vanishing Point OR Black Majesty ... or... umm i'll shut up before I make a huge list -_-'

Thin Lizzy or Flogging Molly. Both are on epic scales of awesomeness.

Therapy?, Northern Ireland's finest.

Kingskin
relatively small but still the best

Streetlight Manifesto is from America... and I like them.

Fiddler's Green.

A German band whose lineup funnily enough consists of Irish independent speedfolk. xD

One word: Motorhead.

I'm from Denmark, and here's some rock:P

The Blue Van

D-A-D

I believe I have mentioned this band already in some other thread, but I still like it a lot, so I´m going to mention it again: YUP. Here´s something for your ears:

You should listen to ramp if you like metal or censurados if you like punk
they are all from portugal and really good

TheCameraman:
I'ts amazing how much the music in different countries can differ from each other, even if it's within the same genre.
I'm from Norway, I like to check out new music, and I would love to see (or hear) some bands from other parts of the world.
Also, if they sing in their native language, that's just great. ;)

I'll start it off with one of my favorite norwegian bands:

Kaizers Orchestra, a band which many people consider to be one of the best live bands in Norway.

Knekker Deg Til Sist

170 (Live)

Apologies if this topic has been done before, but I couldn't find anything like it when I searched.

Edit: Fixed the tags.

i dont like any bands from where i live

They Might Be Giants, that is all.

Cannibal Corpse from the U.S.A.

Canada... I can't think of anything. T-T

I could think of plenty of British bands though. Muse, Electric Light Orchestra, Coldplay... Dammit!

0megaZer0:
NOTHING beats american rock, we were kinda the ones to INVENT rock & roll, afterall ;)

~~~~~~~
System of a Down

Not American.They're Armenian.

Animasacre FTW and I actually know the band http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLngldS9G4g it's a bulgarian band

I am sure it is here already but: The Tragically Hip

The Coral

Moonspell from Portugal

Stereophonics is from Wales, so it'll have to be them.

Blasted Mechanism from Portugal.

Well now, the first group I thought of was Machinae Supremacy, but I imagine the point would be a bit lost since they sing in English. I'll just link both them and Movitz!

Movitz!
This group has apparently gotten reasonably known in the States. I suppose they like the sound. Very understandable if you ask me.

Machinae Supremacy
These guys from Luleå use the SID chip of the Commodore 64 to create some of their sound, which has created what they call SID Metal. Many of their songs and lyrics are inspired by video game music and piracy.

These are two of the groups I would be proud of as a Swede. More include Opeth and In Flames. We're good at metal.

Sneaky Sound System
Presets
Pendulum...That's about it I think.
