What is the biggest country that is also the most devoid of talent?
My vote goes for Ukraine. save for some metal I haven't seen them produce anything worthwhile.
Russia

>biggest country
>that is also the most devoid of talent
Russia obviously, save for classical music from ages ago I haven't seen them produce anything of actual worth ever since then. Ukraine comes a close second.
Germany, as for post war.

Yeah nah. Germany is a cultural wasteland.
How is nobody saying India?
>>51641987
Name some Russians artists that you listened to recently.
Brazil
>>51642053
Their new wave and post-punk underground was at it's finest back in the 80s. Arguably the biggest cassette culture was going on in Germany at that time.
China
all of asia minus japan
>>51642053
Are you just a "rockist" or what?
I'm curious as to what would make someone think something so awful.
>>51642027
enjoy your downgraded objectively gimped music, cretin.

>What is the biggest country that is also the most devoid of talent?
this should be changed to
What is the biggest country that is devoid of talent?
ITT: People list countries that haven't released a /mu/core album when these countries actually have solid music scenes.
>>51642133
Well at least now you admit you're b8ing.

a different thing could be

Antarctica is the obvious cop out answer.
My vote goes for Australia, the talent per square mile has to be lowest.
Can we even include third world countries as countries?
>>51642210

>The United States of America.
all humans are probably equally talented at making music across the globe
there are other reasons why their commercial output is shit
Nigeria is one of the most populous and fastest growing nations in the world, yet I've never heard anything musically relevant from there.
>>51642681
They made afrobeat which was quite influential in several scenes all over the world, this board loves Fela Kuti and Remain in Light so there it is.
>>51642681
Check out the music they made in the 70s.
All of Africa
Die Antwoord is pretty ok but only because of their gimmick
>>51642094
>mfw
>>51643287
Fela Kuti, Hugh Masekela, Tony Allen, Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, Abdullah Ibrahim, Sathima Bea Benjamin, and so forth...
>>51642094
anon im pretty sure you've never really looked into brazilian music because if you had you would never say such nonsense.. even if you hate brazil for whatever reason
Being Polish, I'm fairly disappointed by the lack of many good Polish artists these days.
>>51642221
Australia has so many good bands what are you even saying.
and yes you can include third world countries as countries. Just because they've never released a /mu/core album doesnt mean they don't have a music scene going on. Even fucking african tribes have music ffs.
I wonder if mu actually knows there's music out there that isnt in album and albums that aren't reviewed by p4k
>>51641878
le rachmanioff faec

You're not convincing me of all the talent you have
>>51643587
antarctica is not a country you helmet
>>51642074
because we have taste unlike you
>>51643620
by your implication the other half of them are close to good
which is probably more than lots of other countries e.g. mongolia, ukraine
>>51643622
Yeah well dumbasses said Australia and Russia.
>>51643620
im not even from australia, but jesus christ even if you dont like some of them, such as i do, it doesnt mean they're talentless
not liking =/= being bad
>>51641861
sweden is pretty big but only has shitty indie pop or shitty edge metal
>>51643659
*such as i don't
>>51641861
Possibly Algeria (chaabi gets old very quickly), Mongolia (b-but muh throat singing makes up for the fact that the country has next to zero cultural value after it got soviet'd), Iran (culturally dead since Persia stopped being a thing) or Kazakhstan.
>>51643537
adding SPK and Severed Heads to this on the punk/industrial tip. Straya has a fine catalogue, although they do lose points now that I remember the Bee Gees are from there.
>>51643589
>Not knowing Ethiopian jazz
>>51643842
Early Bee Gees is strangely good. Their stuff from the 60s sound like some Beach Boys clone.
>>51643869
>not knowing nigerian funk
>not knowing afrobeat as a whole
>not knowing burkinan hip-hop
>>51643842
beegees are a great band. and they kind of mastered male falsetto
>>51643952
If I need some male falsetto I'll listen to Junior Murvin, TYVM buster

>China (seems to not be into the whole music thing or at least I haven't come across it)
>Algeria (unless I'm forgetting someone, I know it's racist but I usually lump African artists together since their countries are completely arbitrary and were invented by white men)
>Australia (seriously? why so shit? there's like three good artists from their entire history)

isaac albeniz is one of the best impressionism composers. he hails from spain
>>51644545
Yeah, no. I'm Canadian. But as a country it falls pretty flat. Plus, most of it tries too hard to be American. There isn't enough of a music culture here and that is one of the very few things I'm disappointed in about this country. Sure, there's plenty of good bands but half of those I only know about because they get pushed on Canadian programming to meet the quota. That doesn't really count.
