What is the difference between these two questions:
- Why Sweden makes the best music?
- Why does Sweden make the best music?
I suppose there is no difference and one of these is just incorrect. Am I right?

Ok I am sorry, I will report to moderator to migrate this. – Dec 07 '15 at 17:11

No need to apologise. It may get migrated by user votes anyway, since we now have the option of doing that ourselves. *I, on the other hand, feel a bit sorry that I can't tell you what kind* of clause your first version represents. Btw - idiomatically, it would always be *the best music* (except they don't! :) – FumbleFingers Dec 07 '15 at 17:13

This is fundamentally a do-support question. It may or may not be migrated to ELL (I'll let the community decide that). If it is not migrated, you will find helpful answers under the [tag:do-support] tag. – Kit Z. Fox Dec 07 '15 at 19:00

This is the answer:
Why Sweden makes the best music, is because...
To the question:
Why does Sweden make the best music?
Your first sentence is not a question, but can be used to answer the second sentence which is a question.

"Why Sweden makes the best music, is because..." is poorly worded. It is redundant. Instead say "Sweden makes the best music because...". – Readin Dec 10 '15 at 06:49
