Wow! I'm surprised so many like music from Finland, I would've guessed maybe 4-5 people to say Finland, but almost every fifth comment I've read likes Finish music... Awesome.
It completely depends on the genre. My country (netherlands) has the best djs, scandinavia has the best metal, france has the best electronic music (at least dance music), england has the best pop-rock, the US has the best of quite a lot of mainstream genres etc.
If I had to choose one, it would still be England.
We have a few good ones (Devin Townsend ROCKS), but I really don't think we put out nearly enough of it to be considered the best county for music. We certainly don't get any points for Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne or Nickelback imho.

Yeah, I know, I'm being a bit biased. That being said, I would still rank Canada second behind the U.S. (IMO). A lot of my favorite bands are from here like Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Sum 41, Bryan Adams, Niel Young, Rush, Three Days Grace, etc.
[QUOTE="markop2003"]China is a possible simply as it has the largest population and so has the highest probability of making the best music. USA is a possibility to as the population has more spare time compared to those in the developing world and is the largest western country however they don't have the talent colleges that China has. If you're including historic music then it couldn't be the US or Germany as they haven't existed as a nation for very long, Britain is the best candidate then.

When the majority of the great composers were born Germany didn't exist. The German Empire was founded in 1871, before that it was a group of city states with temporary confederacies. prussian and austro hungarian happy mr. Wannabe Smarty Pants?
surreal is right, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach... they really trump the classical music. and when you say german, you refer to germanic peoples of previous existing nations too. So Germania, The Holy Roman Empire, Prussia, Austria-Hungary. All german. Waving different flags.
i think UK had some awesome rock bands and still does. Coldplay is one of my faves. But at the moment. I dunno. Most music, especially pop, they're all pretty crap in my opinion. I'm just listening to the oldies at the moment.
Hey, Germany's awesome and all, but let's not forget about Italy. Puccini Rossini Caldara Verdi Bizetti Bellini Clementi Leoncavallo Mascagni Monteverdi Palestrina Scarlatti Vivaldi
USA is my fave because the hip-hop, jazz, soul and funk scenes are much better than other countries... and these are also my favorite genres. Can't speak on the other genres though.
Japan and well.. Europe excluding the UK. I don't like much from there.

I don't care you don't like British music. I just think you're missing out.

This man is a genius and probably lives in the mountains just wearing a loin clothe and having a big hip length white beard and every1 calling him a wiseman
Sweden followed closely by Finland. I personally don't really know how anyone could say the US. They have like what.... Agalloch? That's the only thing outstanding I can think of right now.
[QUOTE="SeraphimGoddess"]That's a toughie... gotta say a tie between Sweden and Finland, with Germany coming up in second place. Metalhead reporting in. :D
My guess is you're also into the whole folk metal scene :P
