Re: Best band not from US or England
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).

Cowardice is to run from the fear;
Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
But to hold the line anyway.

GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: Best band not from US or England
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.
...Sorry.
Re: Best band not from US or England
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.

Re: Best band not from US or England
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.Oh man, I can't believe you fronting me that roots reggae isn't rock and yet here you are dancing to ABBA!
