I am fairly certain the original poster wanted songs with countries in their titles because I saw his post on the music general board. That board is bigger, but this board is better.


"El Salvador" - Garland Jeffreys
"Cambodia" - Kim Wilde

Yes, I misunderstood what the OP intended.

That board is bigger, but this board is better.

Definitely.

However this applies when the board and members are active. A bit slow nowadays though I keep checking once in a few days in case there's an interesting post.

We went through this exercise. See link below, already highlighted by regular Rock Board contributor (*) alpha128.

(*) The Rock Board though is not as active as it used to be, which is slightly a bit of a downer for me.

U.S. Too many


To be honest I never really thought much of having a favourite band according to nation, but above are bands which I immediately can think of when associating with nations.

I have also omitted US since I realize is too many.

My other comment is that it is surprising that there are (comparatively) a lot of rock bands originating from Scandanavia (although I have purposely omitted many since I don't feel they are up to 'favourite' category for me.

Just noticed it's songs. OK I'm in.

Australia- AC/DC- Thunderstruck
Brazil - Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
Canada - Rush - Temple of Syrinx
Germany - The Scorpions - When The Smoke Is Going Down or Fly to the Rainbow or In Trance
Japan - Loudness - Heavy Chains
Sweden - Yngwie Malmsteen - As Above, So Below
UK - Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (live version in Live After Death)

I think this is an interesting subject. But there seems to be a little confusion for some posters. Maybe you could edit the title to something like "favorite songs with countries in their titles".

I thought people would just click the link and add to the topic on Music General.
