Welcome back to the land of the living, "What country homes the best music?" Thread! And oops. I guess I wasn't paying attention to the discussion for some reason... ?
But yeah, the Newsboys have songs like "Shine," "Beautiful Sound," "Entertaining Angels," "John Woo (which I briefly mentioned in another thread)," "It is You," "Thrive," "Breakfast," and "Million Pieces." If you want, I could upload some of my favorite songs of theirs for you. And Lena Park.. yesss she sure does have an amazing voice. I only have stuff from a couple of her singles and from Beyond the Line, but now I'm excited to check out Refiner's Fire too. Oh, and badtz... [:-*]
And ahhh, Michael W. Smith has been one of my favorite singers since I was little. I think I own everything he's ever breathed. I just counted an even 20 albums and a dozen singles / special albums. If you don't mind talking about it, I'd like to know why you consider yourself an "unconventional Christian."
Actually, a lot of Christian bands do surprise people who discover that they fit in that genre. Lots of my friends had no idea that Switchfoot was a Christian band with Christian-based lyrics. ....Umm... that's the only one I can think of right now, but I remember hearing my friends talk about other bands that I never expected them to know existed. |

Well, I had no idea the two I was waffling between were tied for the lead in the poll prior to my vote, but I finally went for the UK over Japan. To tell the truth, my musical tastes are all over the map and my iPod is filled with artists from every placed mentioned. But with every other region except for the UK and Japan, and possibly the US, I go there for a specific musical sound. What sets the UK and Japan off for me are the eclectic combining of styles by many artists. Sure they both have their share of throwaway music, but they have enough really good artists to keep it interesting for me.

Oh, and some other bands/artists that I like that are Christian but not overtly so about it are Eisley and Sufjan Stevens (and Sixpence None the Richer). Fluffie, you can PM me or something to talk more about my religious beliefs but I'm warning you, they're pretty convoluted and I still don't have everything laid down. But basically, I'm cool with gay people, premarital sex, a woman's right to choose, and all of those things that Christians are normally against. So being all liberal has made it pretty hard for me to really identify with the majority of Christians, and I'm really just kind of left floating about on my own!

My heart belongs to Scandinavia, but my vote goes to the UK. The US and Japan probably come in second and third for me.

Scandinavia, I think. The best metal, for sure—some of the very best pop (Björk [not really Scandinavian, but under your definition they are], ABBA if you're into that sort of thing, The Cardigans, The Knife, Kent), excellent folk (Värttinä especially, and Kusumuun Profeetta).
Close behind is Canada, with Tegan & Sara and Feist and older Broken Social Scene and Metric/Emily Haines and older Alanis Morissette and Neil Young and JONI MITCHELL. Japan has a lot of good stuff in a wide (WIDE) variety of genres, and Shiina Ringo, so I'd place it third. |

The Cardigans! Because Magnus is sexy.
So I'll go for Scandinavia. Japan is still number one though. Since Scandinavia is being underrated so I'll vote for it

I'm confused by the divisions. How come some are single countries and some are regions? How can one say the UK or Scandinavia? Those are regions with several different countries. Music from England doesn't sound like music from Scotland or Ireland and music from Sweden doesn't sound like music from Norway.
