Nope. The only foreign music I listen to is anime soundtracks, E Nomine, and Nightwish. Nightwish's lyrics are in english despite them being finnish. E Nomine, somehow I doubt is perverted stuff. And anime music is anime music, a lot of it is instrumental.

I know that some foreign stuff can have shit or indecent lyrics but i mainly listen to it for the music not the lyrics, eg. Rammstein - they have rancid lyrics but i enjoy their music so i buy their stuff.

I listen to a very large variety of Japanese Rock music (JROCK) such as hide, X-Japan, Pierrot, Gackt, Malice Mizer, and Dir En Grey.
I've looked up and translated most of their lyrics, and pretty much all of the songs' lyrics are really really good. Some of the lyrics, especially the Dir En Grey ones, can be extremely dark and grotesque (lots of songs about decapitating people, child abuse, incest, violence...and well, everything else that's bad :P )

Take a look in the quote in my sig. Pretty much sums up how I feel.

I like good music, regardless of whether or not I can understand the lyrics. However, you do have to be careful at times. Rammstein is a good example. Their song Tier has some great music, but the lyrics will royally creep the hell out of you.

Personally, one of my favorite bands EVER is a Japanese band. I can't understand the lyrics, and haven't had much luck finding English translations, but they make DAMN good music, and that's all I really care about.

Chaos, what do angry ticks have to do with music :wink: ?

Jeez, man get on the ball!

Anyway... foreign music is better when you don't know the lyrics. In my opinion, at least. And not because the lyrics could be stupid, corny, or depraved. But it's like, "Hey man, they could be saying anything there!" And lots of times, it's the emotion in their voice that matters most from what I've heard.

YEAH! The Pillows are awesome. They fall under my "anime music" category, since they did so much of the FLCL soundtrack. They are so great, it's amazing.

Want a pair of good Swedish bands? OK:

*Kent - Berg & Dalvana
*Kent - Chans
*Baseball Annie - Shakespear me Sometimes
Baseball Annie - Mother Nature
Baseball Annie - Nothing Left
Baseball Annie - Saturday
*Håkan Hellström - Kom igen Lena


The Reason I puked out so many Baseball Annie songs are because they're the best beerpals you can get =)
Talor the White Captain is singing and playing guitar,
Nisbon the Shapeshifter plays guitar, Joffan the Wizard plays guitar and Gus plays the drums and writes the songs.

Kent sings in swedish and is loved for their lyrics.

Håkan Hellström also sings in swedish. I think it's called. swede rocky pop.
Never heard a song more upbeat then that.

Enjoy =)

-Angry ticks have EVERYTHING to do with music!!

...I think.

Back on topic, anyone know Moonspell? They are, I believe, a Portugese metal band. I've only heard some of their songs, but I liked what I've heard. Lacuna Coil is Italian, but all of the songs I've heard by them thus far are in English, which doesn't really fit this topic exactly, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

I listen to a lot of foriegn music, mostly because I speak more than one language. English, Spanish, Hindi, and some Japanese is all that I know. Most of the things that I listen to are Hindi and English. I listen to some anime soundtracks, because I'm an anime fan. If you want some good Hindi songs, then just contact me. I've actually thought about doing some AMVs to some of those songs. It would be cool, but the majority of them are romance songs, but they all have different beats, so it works.
