Does it count when a polish texan steals something british and makes it more Gloriously 'Murican? Who am I kidding, ofc it does!

I love music from the 80's.
here is something from my country... from the 80's:
My favorite was Lorelei, by Kapitan Nemo. I have a certain fondness for 80's synthpop.

-and now, a short message from the American Congo
This kids from Canadia, but I won't hold his citizenship in the 51st state against him. Could be worse, he could've been from Bama.

We're going to forget about Justin Beiber and I'm going to post some freaking awesome Canadian music:
There's so much good music out of Canada, both oldies and coming out right now, I don't even know where to begin.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I would like to know the music from your countries, the music which you love, like and so on.. Why? Because we usually only know a music from some kind of charts...top Ten, Top 100, UK Chart, Billboard...and so on 
But i'm sure there is also amazing music which has never been and will never be at the top of any charts.... so let's talk about it...
So, I'm from Poland...and probably everybody knows Fryderyk Chopin the great composer anyway...
but the band TSA ..probably no one knows:
or... the band Red Lips
This is just a small sample of music from my country, i'll try to add something else here, later...
but in the meantime share your music .... more or less known from your country 
I liked TSA-51.

We have a lot of bands that go out there and try the english/american rock style.
Like Absynthe Minded, performing their greatest song (based on my second favorite poem):
https://youtu.be/4Wys9VzF-_E
Or Deus, with the architect:
https://youtu.be/k2CFDsG_oxg
Or even The Black Box revelation, presesnting I think I like you:
https://youtu.be/nZzknLiIFho
Some are more... experimental,
Like Selah Sue with Raggamuffin:
https://youtu.be/-IunmW3wI5Q
And of course can't forget about Stromae, with for example Tous les Mêmes:
https://youtu.be/CAMWdvo71ls
In Dutch and German speaking parts of Belgium, you also find a lot of "Schlager" music. Which is a type I'm not fond of, mostly popular with elderly people.
But this one by Tom Waes is a great parody, Dos servezas por favor:
https://youtu.be/Y5NOw2l-zVo
If you want a real one, here's one by Eddy Wally, who you may know as a meme (Wow-guy), with Cherie:
https://youtu.be/D79kCohxxTU
One of my favorite French-speaking Belgian singers would probably be Arno, who translated "You've got a friend in me" into one of his rare Dutch songs for the Dutch version of Toy Story.
His Je veux Nager: https://youtu.be/D79kCohxxTU
and "Jij bent een vriend van mij": https://youtu.be/Ai0p4cTcyQ4
I'll Always also have a soft spot for Katastroof, an Antwerpian band. (My homecity.) They are a band who mostly do folk with humoristic, sarcastic lyrics. They profile themselves as an anarchistic and atheist band and many of their songs are against politics, religions, the police, ...
This is 'Lui'n hond': https://youtu.be/RnmVcgsx-bE
And finaly, because I've been going on for far too long with songs no-one will listen to, Noordkaap was one of our best Flemish bands, back in the day:
Een heel klein beetje oorlog: https://youtu.be/_3I9eSm_E2M
Oh bonus one:
When I was 17 my friends were in a band. I wrote two songs lyrics for them. Almost forgot about it. Stereo Alcohol with "Why Sober?", lyrics by yours truly:
https://youtu.be/HpnQU7OSQI8
I know... I'm sorry.
"If we go down, we go down together!"

It's hard to think of an American band I'm crazy about. Certainly there are some good ones.

I'm old school, myself.
Best Aussie music came out of the 80s:
Have to shoot out.
More to follow.
Dying to live, living to die.

I thought "The Architect" was pretty cool.
