From Wikipedia
Rock music arrived in Norway following the rock'n'roll musical revolution in the US and Great Britain in the late 1950s. Norwegian rock quickly fostered capable musicians, but was strongly influenced by the Anglo-American starting point for the musical form. The leading Norwegian rock groups in the 1960s and 1970s largely expressed themselves in English, while Norwegian was long only used in the more traditional hit and pop music. Notable Norwegian rock bands include Titanic, a-ha, and Kaizers Orchestra.
