Mum

Foreign or otherwise, one of my favorite bands right there...   Except their last two albums weren't all that hot.

Going way, way back, I'm a big fan of Françoise Hardy's 1960s material.  And the years that France Gall was on the Philips label were also pretty good (particularly the songs Serge Gainsbourg penned).

I love t.A.T.u (Russian), Tokio Hotel, Rosenstolz, Christina Stürmer, Lukas Hilbert (German), Eiffel 65 (Italian, surprisingly), Alizée (French), O-Zone (Romanian), Hyde, Utada Hikaru, Gackt, Dir en Grey (Japanese)....

....hmm...I might think of a few others later...

Alizée (French)

I just got a new computer and she wasn't in my iTunes library so I forgot her name. I love her music!

And Zoe, Finally We Are No One is my favourite album!

It's one of my favorites too!   The first Mum song I ever heard was Faraway Swimmingpool and I was immediately sucked in to their sound.  Then it was Green Grass of Tunnel, and within one week of hearing those two, I'd bought all of their albums and singles. lol  I'm kind of obsessive like that.  In any case, I spent at least 6 months of last year listening to Mum nonstop.

My music library has stuff from all over the place, would be boring to just listen to music from your home country.

Anything by Céline Dion.  She is not only beautiful, but she has a beautiful voice.

That you still love me

The song that inspired me to make this post was "Imaginate" by Wisin & Yandel. 

XDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't imagine that you like reggaeton 
Have you ever tried to dance it? LOL


Listen to this 

Oh do I.

Finnish folk
Swedish folk-rock
Irish Gaelic folk
Lots of Persian, Turkish, North African, Israeli music
Lots of EBM and Industrial, much of which is from Germany or Belgium
Lots of experimental electronic and Glitch, much of which is from Japan, Finland, Germany

...and I play taiko, which originated in Japan

i like most music, and i know songs in lots of different languages. japanese, dutch, chinese may not be too unusual, but i also know songs in tuvan (learned one from ayan-ool sam. you can find him on youtube), greenlandic, and even rarer languages

I've heard a few songs from America that I quite liked .

I'm a sucker for Japanese love songs, even though I don't know a lick of Japanese.

Reminds me of a friend of mine who says that opera tends to work best when you don't know what they are really saying.

Can't understand what they are saying when they sing in English.

I have a few albums in Welsh (because of my SFA fanness mainly) I like a few French stuff, some Serge Gainsbourg, I liked the guy who did the Belleville Rendezvous song, there is some very enjoyable Hungarian, Romanian gypsy stuff and I adore this cd called 'Flamenco Arabe" which starts fully flamenco and ends fully arabian and follows the journey from one to the other.

i have trouble understanding sung english too, so i didn't really like to listen to pop ballads and such. but then one day i realized i actually do understand when they sing in japanese, so now i often find myself listening to all the same types of songs i couldn't stand in english

I always mishear american songs, the current one is, why is Beyonce singing about a Pterodactyl Penis?  (1.04-10)

Beyoncé - Best Thing I Never Had

For the same reason that lots of people thought that Jimi Hendrix was singing: 'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy.

I love it,
all kinds of languarges for me.

I listen to music in all sorts of languages. Probably the main languages other than English that I have music in would be French, Japanese, Russian, and Ukrainian, but I know I also have some Icelandic, German, Spanish, Maori, Romanian, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew... I don't know, lots!
