There's probably a topic like this somewhere, but I'm restarting it

What are your favorite groups that aren't from the U.S.?
(I'm tempted to say not from England either but go ahead and post those if you want)
Here are a few of mine:

Rammstein (Germany)
Lostprophets (Wales)
Quarashi (Iceland)
Sum 41 (Canada, hey its foreign)
Daft Punk (France)
Genitallica -pronounced henitallica- (Mexico)
