How does that make them the "Canada" of Scandinavia? I'm confused lol. Most countries have diverse music, UK/US, most Western places you care to mention, and elsewhere?

'Röyksopp' should be in that list though IMO, they do some great remixes for other bands as well. smile

I disagree, we would let Snoop Dogg in our country with a little weed.

You're welcome to him. What a knob head. hahaha However, he was Un-ban-hammered from the UK about 5 years ago lol, saw him on the Graham Norton show a while back.

Turns out he's just been banned from Norway for 2 years....LMAO, to add to the growing list of countries who are sick of the twat.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/28/snoop-dogg-banned-from-norway-marijuana_n_1713386.html

Its not the weed that bothers me, its the fact he was involved in murder raps etc....Probably did have something to do with them as well. He was a low life crack dealer before his shyte brand of "music" took off, and is a low life shytehawk in general so no surprises there. Not that I dislike all Hip Hop, some of its good (don't like 'gangsta' rap mostly) but he is crap and thats a fact lol. smile

Denmark not. smile

Its just that I think a lot of good (imo) music comes from Canada; Rush, Saga, Klaatu. And of course you're right. Lots of countries produce great artists.

They do indeed but even the best can have an off night.

Hear Pavarotti crucify top-C at 2:09 in these ghastly operatic balls-ups. The final one is majestic in its dreadfulness.

Aye, agree the Canucks have had some great artists. Faves are probably Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and "laughing Leonard" Cohen (great lyricist). I quite like "The Arcade Fire" too, some good songs. Rush have never really done it for me for some reason, but I respect their musicianship, definitely very talented and I know they are well loved. smile

Celine Dion hurts my ears however, and my Soul. And Avril lavigne. And that bird who sung the "Isn't it Ironic" song (can't remember her name lol). The thing that annoys me is that she clearly doesn't even know the meaning of the word "Ironic".

"Rain on your wedding day" is NOT ironic, in any way, shape or form.....as well as almost everything else she mentions in the song. Not even close. I think the word she was looking for is in fact "unfortunate". It really annoys me, lol.

Silly bint. Needs to be "edumacated". biggrin

Biggles,

There may be a hint of irony if the groom is a weather forecaster or water-diviner? biggrin
