Foreign Music:Your Stance on It.

Hi,simple question.Do you listen to music with lyrics NOT in english.

Please,do name some artists or bands.

Also,for the people that only listen to music in english.Why?

I listen to
Rammstein,Galneryus,Versailles,Rhapsody,Korpiklaani,Natan(although they speak my native language)

Sure do. I've got stuff in Japanese, Norwegian, French, Spanish and probably Swedish.

I like some German stuff since I can kind of understand it.

Moskau is the culinary equivalent of a German YMCA.

I love Russian Male Opera singers as well - they tend to have really deep voices. And the Russian language is just dripping with masculine dominance.

I like a lot of the stuff thats on the FIFA video game soundtracks.

im not a big music listener but i actually like enjoying the lyrics and the words, so knowing what is said means a lot to me. however, i do enjoy some foreign music now and again. but, usually its in a language i can sort of understand.

Japanese and some Korean stuffs...

I like it. I rarely care about lyrics, so it doesn't bother when I usually don't understand what they are saying. European metal/techno and J-pop would be favorite foreign genres.

Most of my music is japanese and I like it that way.

Maybe some Molotov and WarCry, but otherwise I don't really listen to it.CRS98

Majority of the music that I listen to comes from European countries such as Norway, Sweden, Italy and Finland. I only listen to a few American bands, those being Agalloch, Darkest Hour, Arsis, Cynic, Sculptured and The Absence. My stance is that foreign music tends to be more pleasing to my ears, at least when it comes to Metal. Although, a lot of the bands that I listen to still use English for the lyrics there's a whole lot that are in Norweigen. A good example is Windir, it uses some special sort of Norweigen dialect.

Actually I only listen to music in Spanish so I love foreign music

Little Dragon is good (Swedish), Yoko Kanno is a great musician and composer (Japanese)

I listen to foreign music all the time.

Some foreign bands I listen to:

Flure

Tattoo Colour

Da Endorphine

Etc

Yuri's Nominee

15th Scenery

I listen to some (mostly Serge Gainsbourg and lately The Very Best), but not as much as I'd like to.

Beyond English, I've got a good amount of music in Spanish, Swedish, and Basque.

If I hear something I like, I put it in my library. I don't care about understanding lyrics since I rarely listen to English lyrics anyway. That said, the only foreign band that I listen to a lot is Rammstein.

Hmm, then theres K-pop, J-pop and Chinese music.

I've got a few Rammstein songs and a couple of Rhapsody Of Fire but that's about it.

I haven't really checked out much new music, but I always seem to like random Japanese and Korean music over the vast majority of mainstream music in the US.

I don't really care so long as its good. That being said, there's something to actually understanding the lyrics your listening to that makes music special. I don't think I'd enjoy my music if it was all foreign artists who didn't sing English.

Better then a good amount of America's music, here in Serbia we have amazing music 8)

Don't like it, like to be able to sing with the words / know what the song is about when listening to a song.

Yes, I do. It's not really about the words for me. I just like the way the words sound and the beat of the music. I've got plenty of Japanese crap on my computer :P

Yep I listen to some American music. Its hard to remember of the top of my head but I know Lacuna Coil are Italian, and The Cardigans are Swedish so thats a couple, so yes I do :P.

I move into the rear foot stance.

KAI!

im sitting at work and the guy behind me is blasting european tranze on his ipod, um NOO...

Yes, I enjoy listening to foreign artists such as Sara Tavares, Simone de Oliveira, Humanos, etc. Though, they are of my native language so, I wouldn't know if they would be considered exactly 'foreign' in my present stance :P

I'm also a great fan of French artists, namely Edith Piaf.
