    By far, it would have to be U2.

    Oh, and Sigur Ros from Iceland.

    Sigur Ros would be my pick. Others to be considered includes:

    AC/DC (Australia)
    The Band (4/5 of them were from Canada)
    Rush (Canada)
    Kraftwerk (Germany)
    U2 (Ireland)

    More obscure and some of my personal favorites:

    Can (Germany)
    Rammstein (Germany)
    Godspeed You Black Emperor! (Canada)
    Split Enz (New Zealand)
