We discovered amazing music from all over the world in our international issue. Which country is exporting the best music these days? [236 votes total]
They may not be dominating the airwaves, but look at the real breadth of Australian artists now. Augie March, the top of the heap imho, has a new CD coming out in October that promises the accessibility of Moo, You Bloody Choir -a CD that swept major awards in Australia and critically acclaimed worldwide but apparently not commercially succesful outside Australia - with the quality of their previous CDs, Sunset Studies and Strange Bird, that has given them a growing and devoted following. Missy Higgins and Nick Cave also have great recent releases, and tons other lesser known artists that are worth a listen.
Go past the big names - I won't even mention them - that immediately spring to mind when you think Australian music - and you will find a wealth of incredibly talented songwriters and musicians.
obviously I'm going to vote for England, and if I could be more specific and go for the North of England I would...
I'll vote here, as the polling booth is apparently in need of a software update: ENGLAND (followed - but not too closely - by Sweden).
FTW where's Canada???
Gotta be NZ.
Your poll has to be some kind of joke : where is Canada?
Hello? Canada!?!?!?!?! Do you need me list all the bands? Canada is by far putting out the best music. My sentiment seems to be shared as well.
ummm...right Canada. Hello Paste! and where's Brooklyn?
Jamaica
Hmmm...strange that you don't have Canada on there... your poll is invalid.
Obviously, you left out the clear frontrunner, Canada. I'm sure Under the Radar certainly wouldn't forget about their Northern neighbours!

While Under the Radar may remember Canada, you know what they forget in every issue? Proofreading.
