Which country do You think creates the best music

Just wondering.
Even though i know most of Basil will say like korea or something.

I do whole-heartedly think Canada has some amazing musicians/music out there <3.

All subjective of course.

In the last 70 years...
The UK, in my opinion.
Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd, Who, Stones, Queen, Radiohead, Clash, Pistols, Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Iron Maiden

Now? I don't know.

@Hera2:
You do realise that everybody has there own tastes right?

OT: I like Japan for J-Pop, Korea for K-Pop, America for Rap, and basically Europe in general because of techno, house, dnb, dubstep.

Definitely Japan. Everything's there. Including video game soundtracks, anime soundtracks, your favourite anime openings/endings, dorama soundtracks, J-Rock, J-Pop, J-Urban/hip hop/rap/R&B, underground music for hipsters, Shibuya-kei, underground chill/hip hop/trip hop stuff, traditional Japanese music (with shamisen and stuff... you can hear shamisen playing in those old Wii commercials), Japanese drumming, Okinawan shima-uta, the Japanese version of shima uta (I forgot what it's called), easy-listening acoustic music, classical composers, idol group with a bunch of little girls, idol group with a bunch of tall skinny guys with the hair, visual kei (evolved from American glam rock) bands like X Japan and Luna Sea, foreign artists who sings songs in Japanese under Japanese labels (it's kinda multicultural actually; you can find a lot of foreign artists in the hit song charts), K-Pop groups sing in Japanese under Japanese labels, and more stuff. There's something for everyone.

Why?

Zelda + Metroid music. I don't give a crap about rock, pop, or anything else anyone may like. Give me Zelda and Metroid music any day of the week and I'm a happy camper.[/quote]

Damn right! Good job, nintendbro.

Well, I'm mostly a melodic/post rock kind of person, so . . .
1. Britain/UK/Ireland
- Mogwai
- Explosions in the Sky
- And so I watch you from afar
- Led Zeppelin
- A bunch more various bands I can't remember the names to
2. US
- Underoath
- The Fall of Troy
- Tool
- SOAD
- Rage Against the Machine
- Barcelona
- Bunch more
3. Japan
- Envy
- Miaou
- Maximum the Hormone
4. Canada
- Rush. . . They legitimize Canada, lol.

I am Korean, and I wish I could say korea had some good experimental, melodic music, but as far as I can tell, Korea is exclusively focused on pop, so I can't say I like any bands from korea. . . it all sounds like electronic crap to me, just my opinion.

I listen to mostly Mandarin music since most of the music I hear sounds soothing to me

@YouOnlyLiveOnce:

One of the worst big stage "rock" bands in recent years. Somehow manage to make every track sound similar if not identical to the previous one. Obviously this is my own opinion.

[quote=MellowYellow]It's not the country that should determine what you like about music, but the genre.[/quote]

However the region where the music is developed plays a huge role in the type of music... and how the genre is portrayed.

European Pop music is completely different from American Pop, or kpop(which is considered a genre of music i know)

Lol people aren't even supposed to be judging by genre. It's supposed to be by artist. Or the one song itself.

@mellowyellow: not even the genre, each genre has something to offer for everyone
