===============================================================================
A good band is hard to find. So some of TIME's writers listened to groups from
around the world to create a definitive, highly opinionated, probably inflamm-
-atory list of the top contemporary acts outside the U.S. Below are the 10 best
bands on planet Earth.

BY RHETT BUTLER

Radiohead, BRITAIN
Hailing from Oxford, this art-rock quintet spins futuristic songs about the
disillusioned and the disoriented, about aliens and creeps—but often with a
glimmer of hope. Key albums: OK Computer, Kid A


U2, IRELAND
Two decades after it first formed, the Dublin-based band still hasn't found
what it's looking for. It has remained inventive, hungry and committed to
social causes. Key albums: The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree and All That
You Can't Leave Behind

Aterciopelados, COLOMBIA
Singer Andrea Echeverri and guitarist/producer Hector Buitrago blend alt-rock,
electronica and Colombian folk. Key albums: Gozo Poderoso, Caribe Atomico

Brilliant Green, JAPAN
A rock-'n'-roll trio—singer Tomoko Kawase and guitarists Shunsaku Okuda and
Ryo Matsui—that creates ambiguously playful music. Key album: Los Angeles


Sigur Ros, ICELAND
The land of Bjork has produced several notable acts lately, including Emiliana
Torrini and Mum. Sigur Ros, with its intoxicatingly eclectic sound, is winning
fans worldwide. Key album: Agaetis Byrjun

Portishead, BRITAIN
Atmospheric, surreal trip-hop music; Geoff Barrow produces, and vocalist Beth
Gibbons' hollow voice haunts every track. These songs pull listeners two ways:
they make you want to dance and to despair. Key album: Dummy

Tarika, MADAGASCAR
An upbeat fusion of energetic percussion, traditional instrumentation and
socially conscious lyrics. Nearly every song sounds like a celebration of the
spirit. Key albums: Soul Makassar, D

Pato Fu, BRAZIL
Pop rock with a sense of humor and a charge of electronica. Key album:
Televisao De Cachorro

Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, JAMAICA
Ziggy, Stephen, Sharon and Cedella are keeping reggae's (and their father
Bob's)positivity and purpose alive. Key album: Spirit of Music

Orishas, CUBA
Combines lyrical wizardry with traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms to make cutting-
-edge hip-hop. Key album: A Lo Cubano

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
The Nortec Collective (Mexico)
Cheikh Lo's band (Senegal)
Cornershop (Britain)
