U. S metal bands like Lamb of God, as I lay dying, death are my favorite of all time but a great tree needs a strong roots and you can't have groove metal or deathcore or any other subgenres without Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin or deep purple musically they were the original so I have nay must vote for this country.

No question that the UK has produced (on overall balance) the best rock bands of any country in the world.

since earliest time, USA has given great type of music; and it still is giving it. - rock2metal

How can Germany be second

Thank you for making System of a Down, slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and more...

Without black American folk and blues there would be no rock and roll and, therefore, no hard rock, heavy metal and many other derivative genres. So, let's give it up for American bands! (P.S: I'm not American)

Thank you Germany, for Tokio Hotel, Cinema Bizarre, Rammstein, and Helloween but especially for Tokio Hotel

Denmark gave us Mew, and I honestly believe they're one of the best bands of all time.

Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Artillery

Don't forget Mercyful Fate and Volbeat!

You think they are British or else but no they are French and girls: Imany, Marina Kaye, Jain, K-Reen, Kayna Samet, Joyce Jonhatan, Zaz...

Daft punk, Serge Gainsbourg, Edith piaf, Phoenix, M83, Mc Solaar, Suprême NTM, Air, 1995... France actually has had and still has wide variety of good artists.

As far as French bands go, well, pretty much everyone’s familiar with the likes of Daft Punk and Air and Justice (whose new album is out this week). But that’s not all there is to French music, y’know. The country has given rise to a number of fascinating musical movements over the years, from the modern chanson of the 1960s through the coldwave of the 1980s (check out this excellent compilation if that genre interests you, by the way) and the more recent explosion of French dance music.

The Contenders

11 Brazil Brazil Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest country in both South America and the Latin American region.

A great variety of rock music, but English language is more popular than portuguese, so some translation needed!

People always vote for their own country, I am from the US, I think Japan has amazing talent. There best bands include the GazettE, X Japan, Versailles, Dir En Grey, Maximum the Hormone and MANY others. Please, give this country a chance, even though some of the bands are part of the Visual Kei scene which many foreigners don't understand, please look that up before criticizing. It's about the music, not the looks, and Japan has great rock and metal even though Jpop is more famous Jrock.

I might be wrong but I think that Japanese music (rock) is in a higher pitch than most but not too high. which is what I love about it.

The instrument is playing high note but in a metal kind of way and the singer voice is kinda high pitch, but it sounded great.

I love fairies band which is from Japan

Better than USA

You must listen Duman, Teoman and Sebnem Ferah!
I'm from Holland but I think they are OK.

Duman, my favorite band lately. If you like rock n roll with a cultural twist, Duman will not disappoint, it will blow your mind.
Not to mention Mogollar, Cem Karaca, and older 70s artists

Duman, maNga, Cem Adrian, Hayko Cepkin, Zakkum, Mor ve Ötesi, Teoman...etc
They are the best ones. Best of the world...
Respect from Czech Republic...

19 Belgium Belgium
20 Ireland Ireland Formed in 1916 after the Easter uprising, Ireland is a small country with a population of roughly 5 million.

At least third place. Amazing musical heritage. The rest of the world should feel lucky that the Irish stepped up to the mark, above and beyond that of such a small nation, as usual.

The script is amazing

U2 is a great band!

Walking on Cars, U2, The Script, Kodaline, the Coronas...
