I doubt you will find many groups who have sold more records than them. Besides the girls are real lookers to boot.
In addition to INXS and AC/DC, YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra, from Japan: Haruomi Hasono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and co.), the Gypsy Kings, and Jean Michel Jarre immediately come to mind. I'm also a big Michael Schenker fan (UFO, MSG).
I've always liked ABBA--probably the only modern musical group that my grandparents and me both liked. I particularly enjoyed Erasure's technopop covers of Lay All Your Love on Me, S.O.S, Take a Chance on Me, and Voulez Vous (good spastic electronic dance music).
Black Sabbath are from Britain. Birmingham, in fact.
Scandinavia rules!
ABBA!
The rasmus!
Rammstein
Corrie en de Rekels
Sounds made up if you ask.Quote:

Bob Marley and the Wailers followed by U2.
And well I love Neil Young, but he's not a band.
Won't hear me laugh at that. As 'Pop' music goes, probably the best everQuote:

Super Furry Animals (Wales)
Oxymoron (Germany)
Jesus and Mary Chain (Scotland)
Arch Enemy (Sweden)
In Flames (Sweden)
Children of Bodom (Finland)
Blind Guardian (Germany)
Those 4 are awesome.
Pink Floyd.
They may have been born in England (I believe) but they were descended from gods, which both makes them natives of Mount Olympus and explains Roger Waters' gargantuan ego, hence they fall into your category. :tongue3:
...Sorry.
I'll do my normal thing and stick to metal (or metal affiliates/subsidiaries) for this one. I listen to too many bands to make a top 5, so I'll just list some I've been listening to lately.
Negligent Collateral Collapse - Czech Republic
Immortal - Norway
Waylander - Ireland
Cryptopsy - Canada
Skyforger - Latvia
If Texas counts as a different country, add Absu.

others: Dennis Bovell Dub Band as well as Fela Kuti & Africa70/Egypt80 band.
Because the roots of raggae are not rock and roll as much as you would like us to believe, it does however have the same roots as rock and roll. That being R&B so the confusion is understandable. I never danced to ABBA but it was the first laser disc I ever bought. I hate disco with a passion. ABBA is definetly pop rock and probably the best pop rock band ever. There no raggae group , not even Marley who holds a candle to the British super groups. These guys are the gods of rock and roll.Quote:

System of a Down are American.Quote:
