  I don't listen to music, so I really don't know what's the fad right now.

  What do you mean by "not classical"? Do you mean newer than 100 years,
or newer than 10 years?

  It also depends on what kind of music you want. Finnish pop? Metal (in
English)? Psy trance?

  If you want the first, try bands like Sir Elwood, Leevi & The Leavings
or Bablo, like for example:

  If you want something a bit older and nostalgic, try Rauli "Badding"
Somerjoki:

  If you want the second, try Nightwish, Sonata Arctica or Children of Bodom:

  If you want psy trance, make a youtube search for "suomisaundi". For
example:
