In Swedish aswell ;).

More Swedish bands that are quite known, make good music and sing in english are:

The Cardigans
The Ark

Both of them are really worth a try :yes.

Wow~! The perfect thread for me. *_* I love discovering music from different countries. <3

I actually don't like Edyta THAT much. She has a great voice and nice songs, but I liked her earlier personality more... ._. So I share some other Polish songs. ^^

Natalia Kukulska: I L O V E this song. And the lyrics are A M A Z I N G (for those who understand Polish). They reflect my own way of thinking well.

SiStars: From their second album, which in my opinion is better than their first. MUCH BETTER. No guest-rappers, less tracks... They won the EMAs for "Best Polish Act" twice. I like how the lyrics seem to talk about a woman, but are in fact about music.

Anna Maria Jopek: With Pat Metheny. I don't know the original tune, just this version (if there's any difference). It's a rather calm song with driving lyrics. (She also recorded an all-English album called "Secret".)

Hopefully you'll like it and enjoy! ^.^

I figured I should post some links to the music I mention so that people don't overlook the artists, because some of their songs are simply great :).

Here's some of The Arks' best songs, almost all of their songs are good, but here's some that I found the PVs of:

It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane

Father of a Son (Title explanation: the vocalist is gay)

Let Your Body Decide (a personal favourite)

Robyn
Be Mine!

Who's That Girl (I only found a AMV of it, I don't think it's got a PV)

Well if anyone is interested in vietnamese stuff...

I happen to enjoy Minh Tuyet's stuff...

The performance is only four or five minutes.

NO..U must like Greenday


I live in the US...yea..you know all my music

Greenday's kinda... annoying. Honestly I don't have anything to recommend. >__> Music here pretty much sucks.

I'm from the US, and I can't post our music xD

^^recommendations!!!

I also like Journey....because...man...Steve perry (right?) god he can sing like...just...insane.

i like how swedish/polish/german/others are all so close together...I feel like I know like 5 languages in one (even thought I don't completely know swedish at all yet :laugh).

seriously...Journey...I think it's a bit of an acquired taste if you are not used to that style of music...but his voice just captivates...omg...he's amazing.

Greenday doesn't burn ears. But their fandom burns brains.


are awesome. Maybe I'll try The Ark too sometime.

I looooved that song. The performance was really cool. It's not like a lot of Vietnamese music I've heard, although I really haven't heard that much. I would love to hear more.

Agnes Monica.
Bukan Milikmu Lagi / Not Yours Anymore
Ku T'lah Jatuh Cinta / I've Fallen in Love
Bilang Saja / Just Say So
Indah / Beautiful
Jera / Fed Up
Tanpa Kekashiku / Without My Love, a must try.
Tanpa Kekasihku / Without My Love LIVE Performance

She's Indonesian Urban, R&B, & some touch of Hip Hop.

Swedish is like a mix of German and English to me... it's the same family/genre/smth of languages, so it's quite right... As for Polish, it's different family, along with Slovakian, Czech, Russian and few others from Eastern Europe.

I think I should start learning some Swedish through e-mail or something again... :P

The Latin family, French, German, Swedish, Italian, Spanish (and more~) are all based on Latin, thus often sounding very similar, sharing many words.

German was very popular to speak here during like the 19th century, that left heavy tracks in our language.

We have quite a number of words that's borrowed from English aswell, and they grow in numbers steadily as the English education here in Sweden start really early and is very serious.

:yes.

September <33
September - Satellites
September - Looking For Love
read about her here

Oooh, I like September :yes This was the first time I actually saw the singer ^^ I had very different ideas for her :D

This is quite unfamiliar band to many of you, maybe to everyone :D
They have pretty good songs and if anyone is interested.. :lech

Von Hertzen Brothers

A lot of vietnamese songs are covers of other songs, or variants of covers. I honestly don't know which are covers or not because the credits are random a lot of the time. Also, from what I've heard, and I've heard a lot, vietnamese songs are hit or miss to me. I like the modern stuff. The country/traditional stuff is not my favorite type of music. But anyways.. more of her stuff since she's the only person I'm really familiar with...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWIsZBFYa24 -Duet action...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uJdfZFUlg0 -Duet, LTQ is popular with ladies...

That should be good. Enjoy.

:love :love :love :love
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE agnes, a young diva in Indonesia, she even play a role in some drama in Taiwan (even with F4 member, Jerry Yan)

So lovely, with an urban music, makes her more... lovely ^^

Chris, why dont you gave 'em TAK ADA LOGIKA (no logical things), or LIGHT A CANDLE (feat. Keith Martin)???

BassHunter, an artist who had a hit song called "boten anna", it was and is still being played everywhere... it's the shame of my country :D...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=6eQRnNJjKUo

Don't know Swedish, but I do feel this song has somewhat silly lyrics XD

Speaking of 'the same of your country', I proudly present Blog 27:

hate them or love them, that's how it is.

Uh... Yeah...

Piece of the lyrics:
"I know a bot
her name is anna
anna is her name
she can ban you
ban you so hard

she's cleaning our channel
I have to tell you that, I know a bot

...."
