Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, the Notwist, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Boards of Canada, Les Negresses Vertes, Mono, Laibach, The Fall (scottish?). Must be more, those are just a few on my iPod right now.

The Fall are from Manchester. Did I mention that I went to the same school as Mark E Mark?
I did now.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I've always been an Anni-Frid person
Anyway I like a lot non-us bands from different eras. I grew up in the 80's so yeah... I also like lots of genres. I like the Coors, Daftpunk and movie-score guru Ennio Morricone (it's an orchestra band), Oasis, just to name a few.

Oi! I'll have none of that, if you don't mind. That there's fighting talk.

Re: Best bands not from the US or England
At first I couldn't think of any bands outside the ones people have already dropped...
ABBA
U2
AC/DC - Man I loved them with Bon Scott, they had a totally different sound from the Johnson years. Back in Black is the only Brian Johnson album worth mentioning (fantastic album though).
INXS
Rush
Scorpions
But then some more names hit me... nothing great but they're worth noting in that they either made a huge, brief splash or had a few hits throughout their career...
Thin Lizzy - I knew they were foreign but never sure where from, turns out they're from Ireland!
Men at Work - Australia
Accept - Germany - How can you forget Udo Dirkschneider... Get your b-lls to the wall!
Loudness - Japan - Kabuki theater meets KISS at a metal concert
"Why spoil the beauty of the thing with legality?" - Theodore Roosevelt
Idealism is masturbation, but unlike real masturbation idealism actually makes one blind. - Fragony
Though Adrian did a brilliant job of defending the great man that is Hugo Chavez, I decided to post this anyway.. - JAG (who else?)
