For me it is the Mariachi band at my buddy Jorges' wedding
a couple of weeks ago in Chicago. Outstanding.
And the smooth jazz playing on the "Weather Channel"
In other words, not much going on in the U.S.A.

Do they play that Mexican resturant in Glenview on Waukegan Rd on Friday nights?
If so - they rock!

(T)he last couple of years I've spent a lot of time in Mexico, and believe me there's more guitar players down there per square inch than there is even in Rock and Roll Land. (laughs) I mean, EVERYBODY plays bloody guitar and they're all damn good at it.

Voodoo, I have no doubt and agree with Keith, some of the greatest guitar players I have ever heard come from Mexico
and I as a player myself I am envious
I want to, no, need to learn that style

Did he really say that? What a nice thing to say.
My father, my uncles, and one aunt and my younger brother play the guitar. But, it's just for fun.
I wonder how come I never picked it up? It's not like I didn't have the opportunity. |

Well, it depends! On Greece, the most popular music at the time seems to be this weird mixture of pop, bouzouki, synths and eastern sound  It sucks!!! 
But there are some good things going on as well. From the past, I would say Pavlos Sidiropoulos and his band, who were probably the best thing that happened in Greek rock music.
Bands don't seem to have a bright future in Greece - noticing the above trend of solo big-star eastern pop. You get some great ones though, like Ypogeia Revmata, Tripes and Xilina Spathia, which unfortunately disbanded. (It becomes a habit!!! All bands in Greece are breaking up lately! ) And all in all, the most popular band in Greece (and my personal favorite) were/are Pix Lax
They have officialy and unofficialy broken up quite many times but despite all that, I love the damn band. They've drawn the largest crowds a greek band has ever managed to draw in gigs and they've been around for 15 years. I can't quite describe the kind of music they're playing, cause it ranges from soft ballads to rock tunes and from folk experimenting (at least in their earlier records) to soft rock, but all in all it's very interesting and lovely. And the lyrics are poetic!
In their last record they had lots of guests singing with them, among them Eric Burdon! He also played live a couple of times with them... I nearly lost my mind
Not to mention they've done a cover of Satisfaction and their bassist often sings Dead Flowers on stage
Got to love them!

Plain disaster
I went to the gig with a guy I was crazy for and one of my friends. Them two danced to Manu Chao, got drunk and hooked up that very night Good gig!!!
But that was a long time ago It's just that every time I hear the words "Manu Chao" I get the distinct urge to, ehm, personally thank him for the great gig, lol.

Ouch! Well I'll leave Manu Chao out of my list of favorites, then!
Same thing as Ju : I don't listen to a lot of french music. I'd say La Tordue (french chanson+rock, no need to check it out if you don't speak a bit of french because the lyrics are the best part of their music), and Gnawa Diffusion (gnawa+reggae, great musicians). Some rappers have done some cool stuff too : NTM and Assassin for example, but I don't know their music that well. |

Hey, SIA!!! I forgot the Angels! I never liked them at all, but they had a pretty good career. You and i know the signifigance of "No way, get fucked, fuck off! hahahaha.
Also, i guess Daddy Cool. Eagle Rock is our national anthem, aint it? Um, no, i guess Khe Sanh is.
Sherbert? Nah, they were pop.
Chain???
Oh, what about Crowded House? I didnt mind them at all. They were 2/3 Aussie.
But, what i find so cool is, the complete disintergration of bands like the Vines. I love seeing shit like that happen to all those phony faker flavour of the month bands. Didnt NME call them the greatest band ever??? Man, i love that NME.
Who knows about Jet?? I forgot about them too. If they can manage a successful 2nd album, they could be around for ages. |

Voodoo: What about MOLOTOV?
Angiegirl: I dind't know that DJ Tiesto and Junkie XL are from Holland! I have seen them live in Buenos Aires and they're great!
In my country, the most popular bands are: Bersuit Vergarabat, Los Piojos, La Renga, Ratones Paranoicos, Babasonicos, Patricio Rey Y Sus Redonditos De Ricota (aka Los Redondos), Las Pelotas, Divididos and Pappo.
The best players IMO are: Patricio Rey Y Sus Redonditos De Ricota (aka Los Redondos), Las Pelotas and Divididos.
I like a band called La Vela Puerca, but they are from Uruguay.
