That is actually one of the most worldwide known pieces in classical music ever, so if you haven't listened to it, I recommend you'll do that. It's right there after Chopin's Funeral March and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata etc.

Yes, metal music is quite popular. I don't like it, I'm more of a progressive / instrumental rock, house, ambient kind of guy. Finnish rap is also hugely popular. I hate it.

Thank you for the reference.

I appreciate classical music, as well as lounge, smooth jazz, chill out and folk songs. By the way, I tend not to focus solely in genres, but in bands and singers. One of my favorites is Yann Tiersen.

Yes, I listened a lot sometimes to the Amélie soundtrack.

Finnish classical music reached its height in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it was often filled with patriotism, so it tends to be very dramatical.

Finns are usually big on experimental music while Swedes occupy the hit charts.

Example from classical:

80's resurrection:

experimental:



psychedelic rock:

Finnish rap:

ballad:

metal:

Finnish psytrance, also called 'suomistyge' (lit Finland beats), hate it:

Top 20 hit list Finnish song this week:

This was actually quite fun. Why don't you guys post some interesting music from your country except for that Rihanna & Adele crap. I don't follow contemporary music at all except for progressive house, so bring it on!

Edit: 80's resurrection II and take on a classic:


And in classical Finnish style nobody know who this guy is, only that he's a classical music artist who likes to play with computers.

Our music is so well-known that I don't need to post it. That's for insecure countries who are small.

Why not? I don't know anything about British music. Post something that you like or don't like, and maybe I'll find something I like. And listen to those videos, punk! Cultural interaction!

Like you would have something better to do...
