[Pesci]

I like The Corrs slightly if I can use that as my Irish group. >_>

And ABBA are the shit, of course, which covers Sweden.

Those two fat blokes who sang Macarena can represent Spain.

I have real hard trouble differentiating between Canadian and American artists. I know that Sum 41 and Celine Dion are from Canada, but I wouldn't say I liked either.

I only know of Rammstein from Germany, and I hate them. I didn't even know France had music. Japan have that whole J-Pop thing going on but I haven't heard any.

I suppose The Cheeky Girls would be an adequate entry for Romania. Harmless pop fun.

Aqua are the shit and I know they're Scandinavian, but Wikipedia doesn't tell me where in Scandinavia they're from. Let's hope it's not Sweden, since Sweden doesn't need help.

[Bushmeister]

Finland: Rotten Sound, Impaled Nazarene

Sweden: Marduk, Meshuggah

Norway: Carpathian Forest, Immortal

Denmark: Cataract, Graveland

Russia: Butterfly Temple

France: Blunt Aus Nord

Germany: Necrophagist, Heaven Shall Burn

Belgium: Leng Tch'e, Lugubrum

Israel: Rabies Caste

Poland: Behemoth, Vader

The UK: Gorerotted, Napalm Death

Australia: Halo, The Berzerker

Japan: Susumu Hirasawa, that guy who did the Silent Hill 2 OST (someone help me out here? )

Brazil: Sepultura

USA: Pig Destroyer, Pelican

Canada: Cryptopsy, Our Lady Peace

Greece: Rotting Flesh

And to Burnipating Pesci, Aqua are from Sweden.

I'll skip over the US and England because there's loads.

Japan: TM Revolution, Do As Infinity, Two-Mix, Ayumi Hamasaki, Boa (she's actually Korean, but does J-Pop, so.....)

And I also want to say Orbital and Daft Punk, but I can't remember what countries they're from (I think Daft Punk are from France?).
