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.

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.
Electro : M83, Kavinsky, Vitalic, Chloé, Gesaffelstein, Agoria, Arnaud Rebotini, Miss Kittin, Birdy Nam Nam, C2C, Fakear, Jean-Michael Jarre, Koudlam, Laurent Garnier, Madeon, Mr Oizo, N'TO,... - totoligo

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

Mor ve Otesi and Bulutsuzluk Ozlemi are easily two of the best bands ever
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

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...
