I think 99.9% of what I listen to are non-American bands. Here's a melodic black metal band from France that I discovered.

Netherlands would be Peter Pan Speedrock

Gallows (original lineup)
Hip Priests
Motorhead (Lemmy)
Sabbath
Clash

Canadian bands I'll go with Inepsy and DOA

Off the top of my head

[clipless bumper]

yeah - so many of the classics

Australia - AC/DC
England - Who, Stones, Beatles
Canada - Rush, Neil Young


Now the trick would be - name some good bands you like from 3rd world countries.

Pretty much the vast majority of what I listen to isn't American. Actually, I'm struggling to think of an American band that I like. I mean I'm sure there are some, but they're definitely the minority for me.

[Dickarms]

i thoguht the list would be long.

its not.


alt-j. weird.

[Markdude]

Youngblood's dad loves J-Pop

[Dickarms]

brother. and used to.



come on mark.




be alt-j fans with me

[Markdude]

First they were penetratin' our waters, now they're penetratin' our airwaves

I've only heard like 2 Alt-J songs -- the one where he sounds like Adam Sandler, and the other one where he sounds less like Adam Sandler but it's all trippy and kinda cool.

[Dickarms]

we need a listening party.

[GuitarBilly]

Yeah, Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple, Cream, Motorhead, AC/DC, UFO, Orange Goblin etc etc... a lot of the bands I like aren't American....

[Dickarms]

i wasnt considering the classics. i was thinking more bands that are coming out of other countries now
uk and oz from 1960-1990 were gold.

[Telephant]

Hellacopters is up there fo' sho'.

[Sizzler]

Bluesbreakers

... and then a bunch of other bands spanning from then until now

[Reverse Entropy]

UK -
Bebop Deluxe (70s prog, quite nice).
Supergrass (late Britpop with some NICE writing. Start with Road to Rouen and work backwards)

Oz - Jet (seriously, listen to the non-hits, some fine writing there)

Germany - Gamma Ray (enjoyably odd metal)

Korea - Cherry Filter (punkish K-pop with good hooks, and a singer who is fucking brilliant)
