My sister's friend has an international radio show on her college radio station and needs names of non American bands.

It would be great if you could help us out a bit!

Americans have bands? ;) Just kidding - some of my favourite bands are American, I just find it amusing that your friend needs aid to think of non-American ones.

Led Zeppelin
Bob Marley
Eric Clapton/Cream
The Clash
Motorhead
The Pogues
Rush
Beatles
Stones
The Who
The Kinks
Queen
The Smiths
Black Sabbath/Ozzy
Fine Young Cannibals
The Yardbirds
The Police
The Proclaimers
The Band

Let me know if you need more.

Nice, but AK1200 was formed in Florida.


Many epic DJs are not from the US...

Pete Tong
Adam Freeland
Swedish Egil
James Lavelle

Just to name a few.

Specifying a genre might have helped a bit, but a couple of more (and it might be also of importance, whether they should be still active):
UK:
Placebo
Therapy?
Fat Boy Slim
Pet Shop Boys
The Cure
Oasis
Blur
Suede

Norway:
Hurra Torpedo (check youtube)

Finland:
Elaklaiset (old hits played in a polka style) (check youtube)
Damn Seagulls (check myspace music)

Still active may be better but as for Genre, I was told that it didn't matter. It can be anything.

Gotta love that Optimus Rhyme! He is great at mixing all those trucker beats.

If you are looking for more mainstream "lets try to please everyone" radio music she can always go with these canadian bands/singers

- Bare naked ladies
- Great Big Sea
- Nickelback (I like taking risks just mentioning them)
- Sarah Mclachlan

None are really my favorite, but thought I would throw out some popular choices for a radio station.
