It's official. The debut single from The Baseballs only made #4 in the 
UK album charts. But it was certified *triple platinum* in Finland.

Clearly the Finns have way better taste.

You know, I was going to ask... What's some good modern (i.e., not 
classical) Finnish music? I've heard people say it's good, but I don't know 
what to look for. What would you recommend, Warp? What's popular there now?

I know that Apocalyptica and Nightwish are Finnish bands; seems like the 
Finnish favor the Metal spectrum of music.

  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:
