Sticking with the EU theme, dEUS had three very good albums.
And sticking with the Benelux, I’m sure you’ve encountered The Ex at some stage @Fagan_ODowd ?
Not really. My favourite Benelux music was the R&S record label. Iconic.
My favourite Benelux act are Gruppo Sportivo a silly Dutch post punk band that did very catchy songs.

Smaller countries of the EU who have made a contribution to my musical life.

Shout out to Yello from neutral Switzerland
Efterklang and Iceage have had some decent records from the Danes
The Swedes are king of Nordic pop. Abba, Eagle Eye, Avicii, Roxette, Cardigans, Lykke Li, Tove Lo and tonnes more.
Tove Lo has a guilty pleasure of mine ,- Disco Tits
God bless Google

Poor auld Falco. Propaganda.

An absolute tune
Different level band
There’s some great new music around now.
The new Just Mustard album is worth a listen.
