Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

I'm afraid I can't help you out with filling in the gaps, as I don't know any of those bands you mentioned. Embarrassed

Do you know what? Stuff it! I’m going to use this post to try and learn something new. So here’s my top ten for each European country (or less than ten, where I like less than ten). Help me fill the gaps, people!

Albania

Andorra
1. Persefone 

Armenia
1. Trigran Hamasyan

Austria (bizarrely, my preference seems alphabetical here)
4. Blank Manuscript
3. Mindspeak
2. Phi
1. Second Relation

Azerbaijan
(none)

Belarus
7. The Worm Ouroboros 
6. Serdce
5. 7 Ocean
4. Five Story Ensemble
3. The Arkestra 
2. Rational Diet
1. Mission Jupiter

Belgium
9. Scarved
8. dEUS

It’s dinner time, so as I’ve finished my ABCs, it seems a good time to take a break.
(Also, I count Different Light as a Maltese band, rather than Czech, before anyone queries their omission.)

Just pick your ten favourites. Smile

That's a really really weird list. It only includes Germany and the Netherlands for some reason. I mean, we're talking European bands here. So I think stuff like RPI would count.
 
You could include ten Italian bands in your Top 10 if you like, just to even things up. Smile

I know. That's why I specified non-British bands in the intro, just so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding. Smile

No, don't worry, I'll add your points on anyway, but probably not today. Smile

forget about it, I'm deleting my list. 
There's no need to get upset. I wasn't planning to add anyone's points on today. I was just waiting until a few more votes had come in. Smile

there was no need for you to quote me and mock what I said either, but what can you do... 

I'll pass on this list... 

au revoir
