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.
The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Muse, queen, iron maiden, rolling stones, should I say more?

since earliest time, USA has given great type of music; and it still is giving it.
Britain created rock and metal, America improved upon it and made it was it is today. Black Sabbath and the Who laid the foundation, for metal, then guitarists like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen created a new lead style, along with singer like Ronnie James Dio making it was it is. Motorhead laid the foundation fro thrash metal, and the Bay Area too it to the extreme and made it great. Thank You Britain, for creating America as well as rock, but God Bless America. You have made rock and the world great.

However they take the Eurovision song contest far too seriously.

The hives yay the hives from Sweden

The previous 'Holy Roman Empire', basically a continuation of the empire of Charlemagne/Karl der Grosse was dissolved in 1806. ...read more. This question is very easy for me cause my favorite bands are from Germany. Tokio Hotel, Cinema Bizarre I mean what could be better than Germany Bands. Is sad that I'm far from the country cause I want to move there to live and I will get the chance to met more amazing music.
German 'music' consists mostly of Bavarians dressed in the lederhosen doing bizarre thigh slapping dances to oompah bands.
Please make them stop.
Rammstein is the best one, helloween is just great, Germany has his own genre of music Neue Deutsche Härte... Fun doesn't finish here the best of all are the big four of German thrash Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and Tankard
Rammstein, Blind Guardian, Kreator and Halloween just in metal...
Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a sovereign state in Europe. It has a capital of Helsinki and got independence from the Soviet Union after WWI. I'm from america and I say that when looking at Finland. We don't have anything that even touch the epic levels of Nightwish and Sonata Arctica.
Sorry to my fellow Americans but Nirvana and Blink-182 Can't even compete.
Finnish bands are too good. You can listen to bands like poets of the fall
Or rasmus or many they have got talent.

That’s all I have to say
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.
Denmark is a Scandinavian country in Europe. The southernmost of the Nordic countries, it is south-west of Sweden and south of Norway, and bordered to the south by Germany. More quality bands than any other countries on this list except maybe the you. K., France, and America.
Denmark gave us Mew, and I honestly believe they're one of the best bands of all time.
Don't forget Mercyful Fate and Volbeat!
Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Artillery
The Contenders
Australia, officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. Australia has a very warm climate and is very dry. The country's official language is English. Australia has some of the most iconic songs coming from Hunters and collectors, Men at work, Mental as anything, Jets, Gangajang, Daddycool, Cold chisel and Australian Crawl. I could go on.
AC/DC is the best from here
other great bands are: Mortification, Wolfmother, Rose Tattoo, Parkway Drive, I Killed the Prom Queen...
Tame Impala, Pond, Bee Gees, Mink Mussel Creek, GUM, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, etc.
Not whole a lot of big names but the average band is highly talented and creative
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!
Sepultura.'enough said
Sepultura
Our rock it's authentic and good, but few bands play in english and it's not too popular right now.
My suggests :
Massacration (it's comic but it's good)
Mamonas assassinas (it's comic but it's good)
Ira
Legião Urbana
Raul seixas

The Philippines was established in March 16, 1521 and named in honor of a Spanish King whose name is King Philip of Spain II. It is located at Asia, specifically at Southeast Asia. The capital is Manila. 89% of the people there currently are native, while 11% of people there are foreigners. The good thing are the bands like Juan Dela Cruz and Eraserheads, other than that it's none
Why the hell is Philippines higher than Aus? And just why is it here in this list?
WE got lot of kick ass music in here bruh,

The Visual Kei scene isn't restricted by genre. Bands and Singers are mostly free to experiment. I think they have some of the best musicians in the world and for the most part, you'll never get bored listening to a band's discography. Styles vary so much, you won't find yourself thinking that you've been listening to the same over and over again. So refreshing.
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

You must listen Duman, Teoman and Sebnem Ferah!
I'm from Holland but I think they are OK.
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.
I would say third after United Kingdom and USA. U2, Thin Lizzy, Pogues among best in the world
The script is amazing
U2 is a great band!
Belgium, officially the Kingdom of Belgium, is a country in Western Europe bordered by France, the Netherlands, Germany and Luxembourg. A small and densely populated country, it covers an area of 30,528 square kilometers (11,787 square miles) and has a population of more than 11 million.
Bangladesh, on the northern coast of the Bay of Bengal, is surrounded by India, with a small common border with Myanmar in the southeast. The country is low-lying riverine land traversed by the many branches and tributaries of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. Yes, my country sure has really good music artists. But the problem is you can't find most of the albums, singles, songs etc. here. Plus no online platform exists here. It's just new generation's have to listen to pirated songs. Believe me I would've love to listen to the music of my country. But this is not for us.
Should be in top 10
Bangladesh should be in top 10.

South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea, is a sovereign state in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Korean Pop Wave continues to grow & succeed because younger fans around the world appreciate it. This should be on top 10 because lots of boy bands, girl groups, coed groups & rock bands gained their fame to success!

FT ISLAND is one of the absolute greatest rock bands in my opinion. Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. Day6, Say Yes, and CN Blue are also very good.
no...really schould be first
Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, also known since ancient times as Hellas is a country located in southeastern Europe.
Russia, known as the "Russian Federation", was formed on Dec 25, 1991. It is located mainly in Asia. The capital and largest city is Moscow, followed by Saint Petersburg in terms of population. The country primarily speaks Russian, a Slavic language. While not really "best", this country is underrated in terms of music. It has a lot of great bands that are simply unknown to westerners because of language barrier.
Russian rock and metal bands have one of the best lyrics. Unfortunately, to appreciate it you have to understand Russian.
Check out Dvar and Angel Dust Dealers, this bands are incredible.
This guys have their unique style.
