Does Europe (exlcuding the UK) produce any good music?

See, the problem is that quite a few of the really good bands in any country will want to make music in their own language. Something like, I dunno, Kent or Håkan Hellström, miles above anything coming out of the UK, never reaches global popularity because of the language barrier...

kent has made english versions of most of their albums, but I guess their promotion and marketing people are doing a crap job

I'm sorry, but are we all forgetting about that little piece of heaven known as Las Ketchup?

There's a group of people down in around the spanish border trying to remove the iberian peninsula from Europe as we speak starchild.

As for entombed, doesn't mean people that haven't heard of them should check out clandestine (the only album I got, I'm a cheap, never buys much) from 1991 is it not?

"Clandestine" is good, "Left Hand Path" better, IMO. Later albums...
Sometimes ENTOMBED are really good live, though! Saw them on Sweden Rock Festival a couple of years ago, nice show!

Helloween, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, Freedom Call, Blind Guardian, and the already mentioned Rammstein.

Seen 'em live twice iirc, always nice.

I honestly didn't mean to offend anyone I just really didn't know of any bands that came out of Europe. From the list I'm assuming its like everywhere else, tons of crap music hiding really good music that you have to search for.

anyone here with DSL? would someone check out this band "Nomad" from Israel, and give me an opinion?

[Lawrence of Arabia]

U2 is from Ireland. That rock and rolls biggest band right now.

well yeah that is true for current music.

They produced so much good music in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and even a little bit in the 90's. But now there seems to be nothing.

Yes, Europe is musical desert, we hate all music and can't do any good stuff that we can call our own.
Also all the chicks won't shave and there are no elevators in Europe or air conditioning.
Cars basically sucks, and we are all anti-semitic nazis with gay accent.

...as I thought

VetLegion, Rammstein and Laibach have completely different sounds. (I'm assuming you refer to Laibachs "Opus Dei" and "Nato" phase, since they change style with each album)

Rammstein reinvigorated hardcore/industrial in a way not seen since the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

While I love Laibach as well (have all their albums except for that painfully bad one featuring children singing about peace), they never influenced other music quite as much, IMO.

Laibach is quite influential, far more then Rammstein. Perfect example is that you heard of them, and they come from a small country pop 2 million

ok seriousely, I havent heard that much of Rammstein, just a couple of songs. I am no critic but I thought Laibach right away.

BTW, ever sen Rammstein live? Amazing. Best live show I've ever been to (and that actually includes Laibach promoting Opus Dei).

Havent seen them, but Laibach was in Zagreb (my city)yesterday. Some friends went but I m not that much into them to go to a concert.. they say it was good though

funny thing this tour of theirs is lasting 5 or 6 years already, since their last album. they go and play in weirdest places like siberian russia and such.
