Discussion: Congratulations

In your and Finland's honour I downloaded a few songs from Spotify by two old Finnish fave bands of mine - Poverty Stinks and HIM. I really like the Rasmus song "in the shadow". I think that is what it is called.

Haha, The Rasmus and HIM are legends! They were already playing when I was a kid

I thought Rasmus was a new band; they have played that shadow song a fair bit on the radio here.

And when you were a kid I was already old.

Sudden >> ...and when you were born I was already an H21...

PS. The only Finnish Music I can think of offhand is Lordi and their Eurovision winning Hard Rock Halleluja, but I´m sure there is more.

Haha good one, if you can call that music

The only Finnish music I know is Sibelius ...

Peggy that's just what I was about to say! If you're in the mood for 10 minutes of great Finnish music, here's an excellent Finlandia (both the quality of the musical performance and the video they've matched with it).

Yea Finlandia is an amazing piece!! Most of the people don't even know that Sibelius was Finnish...

When bubo was a kid Finnish music was like this
