    I'm Italian, therefore my primary language is Italian. Of course I listen (mostly) to English music. Italian music is quite boring. But, I also enjoy bands like Rammstein and Megaherz, which are German and sing in German. I don't understand one single word, but I like them very much anyway. What about you? Do you listen music in languages you don't speak at all? Or am I the only one here? :-D

    I quite like Blof (Dutch). But I do know a little Dutch so I can understand some of it (but mostly by slowly going through the lyrics on the CD sleeve)

      I hardly listen to music that's in my langauge. If you listen to a music of a langauge you dont understand, you'll get more of music. Because in your langauge, it's Music + lyric. so less music. In a foreign langauge, it's Music + music.. :-D lol.

          i like some Latin American stuff that's all in Spanish. i understand very little of the lyrics - since i've learned all my Spanish from menus, TV commercials and the little sings in bathrooms that tell workers to wash their hands - but the words are secondary when the music's good. and i like Sigur Ros and the Sugarcubes, even though i don't know a single word of Icelandic. i can get into Cajun stuff which is all in French Creole. Jamaican is almost another language. i'm sure there are others...

            But it's certainly better than NOISE + Lyric. is it not?

              Spanish (Santana, latin jazz etc) German (Einsturzende Neubauten mainly, although some Can, Kraftwerk and Amon Duul II) French (Stereolab) And no, I don't really understand any of those languages - I can sort of get by in French and Spanish...but only sort of...

                I mostly listen to music in English, Hindi and Tamil. Of late, I've also started listening to Telugu and Turkish songs.

                  I listen to a lot of French pop and I don't speak a word. (esp. La Grande Sophie & M) Picked up a couple cd's when I was in Paris last year, I think MTV France was the only chanel that worked on my hotel tv.

                      I'm American, however I grew up and went to school in Waterloo, Belgium, so I occasionally listen to french music. Claude Francois - French singer who died changing light bulb (while in the bathtub). He did a lot of French renditions of American songs - however he also wrote 'I did it my way', which was a big hit for Frank Sinatra. Plastic Bertrand - Belgian Punk rock singer - most notable song was C'est Plain Pour Moi, most notable record was probably the 'pink' vinyl album (yes album - not CD...)

                              Try Google language tools. "Benzin" means petrol. On second thoughts you probably don't want to know the Rammstein lyrics :omg:. Actually I think they're the only foreign-language music i listen to.
