"Tunes of" or "Tunes from" ?
Hi,
If I am referring to songs from a country, is it ok to say "Tunes of Australia" or does it have to be "Tunes from Australia"? I feel like "Tunes of" sounds stronger than "Tunes from", but not sure if it's grammatically incorrect.
Top answer
I would consider Tunes of Australia to be a perfectly good choice for the title of a compilation. I would be unlikely to phrase it that way if I were discussing Australian tunes in general. For example "I love listening to tunes of Australia" sounds too poetical for normal use.

- Adding the before tunes would improve it, but it would still be better to say "I love listening to tunes from Australia" or "I love listening to Australian tunes".
