Not to mention sub genre's created solely by the U.S. Funk, Bluegrass, disco (influencing more than you think) Rapp, Hip hop, grunge, garage (with respects to funk, R&B and Rock) and also smooth jazz and fusion. Still no thanks or recognition at all. Other countries borrow and use to create their sound but style and sound itself originated in the U.S of A. Remember that when you listen to Sade, The Police, Queen and any other's. They owe their thanks to Rock, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Disco and so on. Music created in the U.S.. These genres do have standards which one has to follow for it to be in a particular genre or sub genre. Example: Latin Jazz it's a sub genre of Jazz but the Jazz part comes from U.S. Jazz, not matter what country it started in and has to give it's roots to the U.S. Same with anything Rock and Roll based, R&B based, Country based and so on. I Think you get the picture.

Both Blues and Rock were creations of the U.S. and so was the first blend of blues and rock in the 1950's. Elvis certainly was blues driven enough to make it different called Rock and Roll. Whoever said the U.K. invented Blues Rock get with it really. These are the major genres of music and I'm not talking sub genres they came from the main genres and owe everything to their main genres. Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Electronic, Folk, New Age, Reggie and Rock. Everything else a sub genre. Let's see Hum- Classical no one country created since classical could be European or Chinese or Japanese or so on. Electronic no one country since many countries were creating it at the same. Folk no country since every country has their own folk music. Reggae started in Jamaica. New Age started just about everywhere is the newest to main genres. U.S. created and they entirely originated in the U.S. let's see Jazz, Blues, R&B, Country and the Biggie ROCK. Every other country on the ...more

Forget the size of the country. All the legendary bands and musicians are pretty much all from the United Kingdom. Imagine if the size and population was the same as America. That would be insane and mind blowing. It's the UK hands down. The Beatles, Queen, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Elton John, David Bowie, and so many more. It's amazing. And I'm not biased cause I am an American. It doesn't matter what country you are from. You gotta give credit where credit is due.

But if it were not the sounds of 50's rock and roll from the U.S and American original blues and jazz there would have been none of that. Concerning any of the genre list below. You state that like those are the only important genres and your forget where their sound came from and the actual influence.

2 United States The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively.

Its capital, Washington D.C. (District of Columbia) is defined by imposing neoclassical monuments and buildings including the iconic ones that house the federal government's 3 branches: the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court. Though it has no official language, English and ...read more.

Well I live in the U.S. and yes one could say that the entertainment industry has the leading history here and continues to do so. And I also sometimes know what that business can many times represent. Money and greed being the focus not the music as time has moved on. The amount being "Churned" out would be a good word. Quantity has nothing to do with quality. This is for any country not just the U.S. I would have to say what country an artist comes from does not have a large bearing on my music listening either, matters very little. Humans just need to beat their chests and that's a human thing regardless of country. This list somehow saddens me. Just had to say since I should not be returning. I have other more important things to be proud of concerning the particular country of which I have been born. To me music is universal no reason to be boasted about.

I would have to agree with someone below. Music is an art form and we all know that. Since all of these genres influenced or influence modern music up to the present time. The important genres like rock, blues, jazz, R&B and Country, just to name a few again, all have their birthplace and originated in the U.S.. These roots date back to the 20's, 30, 40's and most know what happen in the 50's.These art forms were only coming from the U.S. during these time periods. The rest of the world started to hear these sounds and borrowed them or were influenced by them to create their music long after most of these periods. Meaning what was heard in the U.S. before the late 50's stayed in the U.S.. Mostly unheard outside the U.S. until the in the early 60's. Individual visiting from other countries would hear and be amazed by what they heard and were influenced by it. The 60's came and influence began. The U.S. continued to also use these since they originated here anyway. This is a massive ...more

I would have to say Bless the homosapien that may have smacked sticks together or clanked rocks together to form a rhythmic pattern and liked it. No countries involved in that one instance. It's universal people but it is fun to read these lists. They are entertaining! From a "Music of any kind Lover". I don't like everything but as a human I do like something from every music genre I would have to admit. From classical to heavy metal and everything in between. I don't have any particular favorite genres either. Where it originated not important.

Well musical countries. Well here goes a music history lesson. there is African music from the continent of Africa, The is American Indian music even though they were not American at the time or cared. And other places on earth Chinese and Japanese music. Even the tiniest Island those tribes had their own music. So one could honestly say music came from everywhere. Classic music came from something. Everything has to come from something. Classical actually came from no one country but is European. Folk in it's pure form meaning stories with music started in no one country associated with all countries (each had their own). Now with all those world wide music sounds. Let's go to modern music since that is what the fuss in about. Now, this music is all in nice little genres and sub genres. But let us look at these and realize they are all influenced by the music stated above in some way with no dispute. So let's talk about modern main genres of music. Jazz, hey that originated in the ...more

3 Germany Germany was formally united in 1871 under the initiative of Bismarck with King Wilhelm of Prussia as emperor. The previous 'Holy Roman Empire', basically a continuation of the empire of Charlemagne/Karl der Grosse was dissolved in 1806.

Some territory was lost after World War 1 and a lot more after World War 2, basically started by Hitler's Nazi dictatorship. Then the Soviets kept their zone - the 'DDR', East Germany, separate with a wall through the middle of Berlin, until 1990 when the country was reunited. ...read more.

Iconic music; Beethoven, Mozart (technically Austrian, but so was Hitler and nobody remembers that), Back, all the classics. Literally, they created classical music. You could say a country like America has all the famous 'artists' who are popular now, but they won't necessarily be remembered fifty years from now, let alone two-three hundred. pop is the most well known now, and has been for a few decades. but classical music was not only the most popular for hundreds of years, it was some of the only music and defined modern music. Yet even today there are still brilliant composers and bands from Germany like Rammstein and Hans Zimmer.

Country with greatest composer ever like Beethoven (Japanese really liked Beethoven), Bach, Schubert, Brahms!

Love Germany in terms of music, from me (Ady) and my girlfriend!

Baroque, classical or romantical eras, Krautrock era with progressive rock, psychedelic rock or electronic, techno, cabaret, jazz, ambient music... Germany rules.

New age, revolutionary, Innovative and the much influenced today's music scene!

It is a unitary semi-presidential republic with the capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major urban centres include Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nice, Nantes, Strasbourg, Montpellier. ...read more.

France should be in top five guys! French music is somewhat unpopular outside France but that doesn't that they don't have great artists. They are in all genres from pop to rap to electro, even metal.

In France music is more an art than in some other countries. The language is perfect to sing and a lot of great songs and classic music are French. The accordion is a sixty years old cliché a lot of DJ like Daft Punk and David Guetta are French. And I only talk about French musicians and no francophone...

They have well-known house artists such has David Guetta, Nicky Romero, and let's not forget about Daft Punk.

Yeah French have really romantic music.

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

In terms of the proportion of people in the population who play musical instruments andor sing I reckon Ireland just be near the top. Most people I know either sing, play or have played instruments from childhdood. I haven't come across this in other countries. Where I live, Belfast, there are music sessions of different sorts every night of the week at different venues across the city. I remember reading a book of photographs of Ireland by a French photographer and him commenting, in passing, that he hadn 't realised that the Irish were so music mad.

Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, U2 (bono), Hozier, Enya, Sinead O Connor, The Script just to name a few... they won the eurovion the most times (before it became political) the musical history within this fine country Ireland is when you look at the old gaelic traditions. not many places in the world where you could walk into a pub / bar / tavern in the world and see a man playing the violin or fiddle, the flute / tin whistle, the bodhrán and that excellent euphoric voice live while you enjoy a few pints. The countries history is saturated in beautiful celtic and gaelic music you will not find anywhere else in the world. It truly is a spectacular nation of music for just a population of 4 million people separated from the rest of the world.

Probably quite biased, I think Europe as a whole is utterly amazing on the grounds of music, so eclectic. But Ireland is the home of bands such as Thin Lizzy, The Cranberries, The Corrs, Snow patrol (Northern Ireland/ Scotland), Horseslip and amazing singers such as Damien Rice, HOZIER and Enya. I love how we stick to our Celtic roots and incorporate it into modern music

Home of the biggest band of the past few decades, U2, Ireland is also home to the script, the Coronas, the cranberries, thin lizzy and the Corrs to name a few. There is talent to burn in Ireland.

7 Sweden Sweden, officially the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian country in Northern Europe. It borders Norway to the west and Finland to the east, and is connected to Denmark in the southwest by a bridge-tunnel across the Öresund. At 450,295 square kilometers (173,860 sq mi), Sweden is the third-largest country in the European Union by area, with a total population of 10 million.

U.K. , U.S. , serious? There live about 300 million + people in those countries and still they have a a lack of good quality music. But Sweden, there live only about 9 million people over there and they still have so much good artists. Hail Sweden, the country of great music, this is the where the best music comes from. From Dead by April to Avicii, from ABBA to Little Dragon and much more, almost impossible to count! So much talent! Go Sweden! Best Music is in Sweden!

I do think a lot of people sleep on how big Sweden is in ghe world of music. As a lot of people has mentioned a lot of the big hits you hear have been written or produced or whatever by a swede but then you have all the bands, in popular mainstream/dance/house music you have the likes of Zara Larsson, Galantis, Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Icona Pop, Rebecca & Fiona, Alesso, Axwell & Ingrosso, Vigiland and Otto Knows just to mention a few.

Not only that but Sweden is probably even bigger in the Rock/Metal genres with the likes of Europe, The Hives, Amon Amarth, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Mando Diao, Corroded The Hellacopters, Hardcore Superstar, Ghost, Meshuggah, Mustasch, PAIN, Passenger, Soilwork, Sabaton, Hammerfall, Johnossi and Bathory with list being far from over.

In my opinion Sweden should be on 1 at least 2
If you look up who wrote all the famous and popular songs of the last 30 years you will always read names like Max Martin, Shellback, Ali Payami... who all are songwriters from Sweden

Not one of the best. I understand why it isn't in the top 5 and agree, but it has all the famous DJs in modern society. Avicii, Alesso, Otto Knows, Axwell, Basehunter, etc.

8 Canada Canada is a country in North America that is next to the United States, and it's the 2nd largest country in the world by area (size is 9.985 million km²).

Canada's capital city, Ottawa, is in the southeastern province of Ontario, near the city of Montreal ...read more.

To say Canada produces some of the most popular music right now is an understatement, Ontario and the Grand Theft Auto alone are producing some of the top pop artists right now, Drake, Justin Beiber, the Weekend all of whom are headliners for their own shows and rake in millions for their tours and music. Then we have Allessia Cara, Shawn Mendes and Majid Jordan who are gaining that status slowly. Ontario and all of Canada is a hotbed for talent.

We are the smallest country by population on this list we are only the 2nd largest country in the world by land area please fix the description. Shows you just how talented our population is per capita.

We have artists for all different genres of music. pop: Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepson, Avril Lavigne, Bryan Adams, Nelly Furtado, Fefe Dobson Sarah McLachlan. Rock: Neil Young, Rush, Tragically Hip, Tom Cochrane, Simple Plan, Billy Talent. Alternative rock: Nickelback, Our Lady Peace. Country: Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette. Rap: Drake, Classified, K'naan. That's just to name a few.

Due to our weather, I'd say it has to be Canada! Per capita! Lots of musicians in Canada, no doubt! It seems like everybody plays one instrument or another up here! Come to Canada! Let's jam!

9 India India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi. Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages.

It has the hardest working singers of all time. Always working 24/7 and producing music that seems endless. So many songs and albums released. Yet never forget the greatest of them all. Lata Mangheskar. R.I.P. (1929-2022).

India is all about music!
No matter that is 'filmy', 'raggas', 'folk' or 'rock'...
The music of India includes multiple varieties of folk, popular, pop, classical music and R&B. India's classical music tradition, including Carnatic and Hindustani music, has a history spanning a millennia and developed over several eras. It remains fundamental to the lives of Indians today as sources of spiritual inspiration, cultural expression and pure entertainment. India is made up of several dozen ethnic groups, speaking their own languages and dialects, having distinct cultural traditions.

There is no other country having such variety and versatility in music like India. So India should be on top in respect of music and the people related with the Indian music.

I live Indian music. It just shows me how far music can reach. Music is limitless. Especially Indian music

10 Australia Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands.

It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, and mountain ranges in the south-east.

New Zealand and Australia have a staggering number of musicians and groups. The tyranny of distance has ensured their unique voices

I'm Australian I love my country. There is a lot of modern day and olden day music

The Contenders
11 Mexico Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a federal republic located in North America. The country is located between the U.S. and Central America, and is known for its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches and its diverse landscape of mountains, deserts, and jungles.

Perhaps one of the few countries in the world that has produced countless international music legends. A country where various styles have been born, a place where many Latin American countries including the United States have found an icon singer or song writer. As a music historian Mexico should definitely be number three right below the United States due to it's influence, inspiration and styles it has produced continueously since it's initiation.

When in it comes to music in Spanish, Mexico is number one in production. You can literally find live music in any town.

Probably the Spanish speaking country with more music production.

A lot of diversity and variety in music.

The best pianist in the world. It should be noted that Russia has young classic musicians even at the age of younger than 10.

South Korea has it's own separate genre of music! Kpop is the best thing to happen to this world! Gangnam Style is the most viewed video on YouTube and is a South Korean Kpop m/v. South Korea also has Big Bang, SNSD, EXO and of course Psy. I'm Australian and have a Lebanese background and let me just say that South Korean music is top of the range.

T.O. P is the best :D

For me Korea because every months idols has a comeback.. Like BTS I'm a solid huge army fan of them and my bias is jungkook v jimin...

Should be much higher. They have artists who are now known around the world such as EXO, Big Bang, Girls' Generation, 2NE1, and Blackpink, just to name a few.

Classical music and pop music power.

15 Austria Austria was Celtic (Hallstadt) then as Noricum, part of the Roman Empire, Alaric, who took over Rome, studied at a monastery near Vienna. In the Middle Ages, the Holy Roman Emperors moved to Vienna, then Austria became separate. Medieval documents from Eastern Europe as far as West Ukraine were often in German, and referred to Vienna, showing its influence well before the Austrian Empire. After the first World War, Austria became a small country, under 10 million population, but including the world's then 4th largest city. 'A big head on a small body' they said. In 1938 Hitler invaded his home country and imposed Naziism. Vienna was then the World's largest Jewish centre, many famous people, eg. Sigmund Freud, had to leave. After 1948, Vienna declined as the 'iron curtain' cut eastern Austria off from its natural hinterland. ...read more.

Existing as a unitary State since the Risorgimento (renaissance or resurrection) in 17 March 1861, Italy is a republic since the abolition of the Italian monarchy by referendu, in 1946. ...read more.

I believe the Italians really almost own the leaders in music from operas to chants and poetic music. The Italian language itself is based on musical syllabic overtones!

Giovanni Gabrieli, Giacomo Puccini, Paganini, Verdi, Ennio Morricone, Anrea Bocelli, Pavarotti... those are reasons alone that make Italy at least rank 3 together with Germany or the States

Never heard, except maybe the outdated and obese Pavaroti, that's not funk, not fun, not al all.

Italy certainly has the best male singers in the world.

17 Spain Spain, or the Kingdom of Spain, is a country in southwestern Europe with parts of territory in the Atlantic Ocean and across the Mediterranean Sea.

It is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas; it is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world; as well as the most populous Roman Catholic-majority country.

Most of people doesn't realize the importance and influence of Bossa Nova in other countries (rhythms and styles of music).
There're other various local type of regional music in Brazil. The fact of these genres are not known around the world does'n mean that they are not important or genuine.

How is Brazil not on this list yet? It should be number one in fact. Brazil has the most unique and some of the best rhythms in the world. Samba and Bassa Nova music pretty much define the "world music" scene.

Are you kidding? All day all night samba?

Bossa Nova has influenced so much and people usually don't realise it

19 China China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of more than 1.4 billion.

The national capital is Beijing, and the most populous city and financial center is Shanghai. Chinese (Mandarin) is the only official language and major languages. Cantonese is a common dialect used in Hong Kong and Macau (but the people there don't think it is a dialect). Ancient China invented paper, silk, gunpowder, and many things we rely on today.

Communist Party ruined the real progression of music in China. The real stuff lies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which have not suffered those musical detriments the mainland has suffered.

Jane Zhang, Cui Jian (China's most prominent rockstar), former EXO-M members named Kris Wu, Lay Zhang Yi Xing, Huang Zi Tao & Lu Han, former Miss A members named Wang Fei Fei & Meng Jia are so excellent and they boost their singing voice in them!

The Chungs. Ever heard of them? Well they are really good. (Jun Zhou, Jia Huang, Hui Yang, Chun Liu, An Zhang)

When you hear a Filipino speaks in a native language you would thought he is singing. For melody is even in the language itself of the Filipinos.

One can play music outside in Philippines without solidifying to become an integral extension of the surroundings.

You can hear music Everywhere you go... In a plane... In the mall... In the toilets... Heck almost every night you can hear music!

The greatest copycat country because they cover almost all songs that will be uploaded on youtube!

Dutch Low Saxon and Limburgish are recognised regional languages, while Dutch Sign Language, Sinte Romani, and Yiddish are recognised non-territorial languages. Dutch, English and Papiamento are official in the Caribbean territories.

I don't think people realize how much of today's musician's and producers come from the Netherlands. I mean you have LEGENDS from the Netherlands. Headhunter, Noise controllers, Armin Van Buren, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Hardwell and so much more. These guys literally redefined electronic music, sure it isn't classical or pop, not even metal or rap. But these guys alone are founding fathers to what is now taking the world by storm.
