Same here. Estonia was my favorite, too. And I thought Bosnia was good, too. The thing about songs in Serbocroatian is that I understand just enough for me to think the lyrics may be profound, and at the same time I don't understand enough to be disappointed. I also liked Portugal quite a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNYBYH3bZFI&feature=related
I know this song from Sicko, Michael Moore's latest movie. This song is used in one of the scenes where he discusses health care in France. Anyways, I think there were several decent song this year - it was probably a pretty good year for Eurovision in terms of music content. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Some recommendations for RUSSIAN:
Kino - Хочу перемен! ("I demand change!"). The following video has this late-80s song translated into sign-language - and performed over the closing credits of a recent movie. It is kinda cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9dpPdbnTHA&feature=related ДДТ (DDT): Ленинград ("Leningrad"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvF261iUf0c Метель (Snowstorm): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrGM66VMojs Это всё (That's All): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvNoctAa6HI 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't know if it's been posted here already, but I recently stumbled across the Swedish musician Håkan Hellström, and I really like him!

Lindsay19, you are by far my favorite person of the day. Yay Swedish music!
Has anyone else noticed the propensity for Swedish music to be either super happy and gleeful or some of the heaviest metal? I mean, contrast Suburban Kids with Biblical Names with Amon Amarth (both sing in English, unfortunately [except SKWBN has one song in Swedish]). You'll see what I mean. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I know Säkert has already been mentioned here, but here is another song by them that is definitely not happy or gleeful at all Säkert! - Det var tre månader sedan idag. If you know any Swedish or can find a translation of the song "Vi kommer att dö samtidigt, du och jag" (I think there is a link to it in somewhere in this thread, but it's a few pages back)you'll notice that the title means "we will die at the same time, you and I". This can hardly be called cheerful, though the song is more humorous than depressing. Here's another example Vapnet Plötsligt händer det inte. This one seems to be more contemplative, and probably more like what is called "indie pop" in the US. Edited by mick33 on 20 November 2009 at 9:09pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's true, but even "Vi kommer att dö samtidigt" sounds sooo poppy and happy (although the music video is a little disturbing).
But that's right, I was forgetting Säkert!. Yah, if it has a glockenspiel, it's definitely indie pop here in the US. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Here's another one in Swedish: Björn Afzelius, "Tusen bitar" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u-ZcFgDj-4
He was one of my mum's favourites in my childhood so I've heard this a million times and heard him mentioned again today, beautiful song... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No one has mentioned Basshunter or Opeth recently? Both are Swedish.
