In a language you don't understand?

Because I'm listening the most genius song in Hebrew that was ever created.
Master Bob
Yea of course. See the latest Music Club album . . . I chose it and its in french! =-O

What genre of music? Add a poll. and upp it/upp the album in the upload thread.
Anomaly
I do all the time. Usually it's music in a language I'm trying to learn but can't really understand, but sometimes it's one that I haven't even made an effort with.
Svyatogornyj
More than half the music I listen has vocals in a language I do not speak but it really doesn't matter. I prefer it sometimes, to be honest.
The President
I've got songs on my iPod in Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Icelandic, and some others that I don't really know what language they are.
Jyff
Yeah, if the music is good you shouldn't need to understand the lyrics. In fact it can make the song a lot better if by some chance you actually learn the lyrics and you don't like them.

Which reminds me, I haven't heard Ta Det Lungt in a long time.
18 With a Bullet
I listen to Swedish (damned if I know if that's the actual language name) techno all the time.
Circa Mojave
Yeah totally. I used to be big on spanish music, i like some bhangra, and sometimes I can't understand English vocalists but I still likes it.
Jaime
I need a place to upload this file, and rapidshit isn't working. Anyone got a place?

I listen to French music (and regular fucking music with French in it, like Freezepop). I used to listen to more. Some Italian stuff, some German, and I can't really remember the other stuff. I think it sounds cool.

I saw some CDs at Borders last week that looked pretty awesome. They were named after various countries and had music from the country on them. Like, one was called Spain and had Spanish music, one was called Hungary and had Hungarian music, etc. and I thought it seemed like it would be a neat collection.

Oh, almost forgot to mention Stereo Total. I recently discovered them on Pandora.com. It's a band that sings in several languages, often in just one song. It's mainly English, French, and a little German, but I read there can be up to five languages in a song. The music is weird, but it's fun to listen to the lyrics and try to pick up what I can understand.

Master Bob
Is it a .mp3 file?
FAGBALLS420
Yeah, I listen to stuff I don't understand. the pillows are in my top 3 favorite bands, and the vast majority of their lyrics are in Japanese. I also listen to Asian Kung Fu Generation, Noodles, and Kagrra,, which are also Japanese. Then there's Lee Jung Hyun, who's Korean, and I used to be pretty into Rammstein, who sing largely in German, but have a song with Russian lyrics that's pretty good. Not speaking the language doesn't stop me from learning the lyrics, either. It just makes it a little bit trickier. I can sing along to easily upwards of a hundred non-English songs.
Jaime
It is an MP3.
Zombie N-Word
I listen to a lot of Japanese stuff, and some French (I'd like to start listening to a lot more)
Master Bob
Some artists I listen to who do not sing in english: Amadou & Mariam, Mc Solaar, Saian Supa Crew, and Juanes. those are the main people I listen to. That's not to say I don't have more non-english music, in my library i also have: Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru, Daddy Yankee, Seeed, Gelugugu, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Joaquín Sabina, Diego Martin, Ednita Nazario, El Canto del Loco, Magnate Y Valentino, Carmen Consoli, Don omar, A R Rahman Javed Akhtar, and various others. I don't listen to all the differe non-english artists all the time because I ususally don't go back and listen to past favorites.
Population Index
Most of the stuff I listen to is either in another language or indecipherable English, so absolutely.
Himura Kenshin
Boten Anna by Basshunter I've listened to regularly.
enKrypt
Yea I would and do. Stereo Total is weird by the way,
Zebrahead

I listen to death metal, which is basically a language nobody understands.
gannon52
Yes, I do it all the time.
dizzy phantom
Over half of my music is in German (or it's German guys badly attempting other languages). But many people that I try to convince to listen to a song refuse because it's not English.
Spammit
must i answer?
Reverend_Null
No.
Master Bob
Awesome I liked that song it reminded me of maybe some folk music . . or something. What album is that from?
Mr. Mojo Risin'
Seu Jorge and classical/orchestral foreign stuff is the tits.
Jaime
I have no idea what album it's from. It's sung by one Arik Einstein.
Dana Rae
Yes I love it in fact

Ukrainian Pop... Ruslana.. mmm..

Ruslana-Wild Dances.

She's working on Wild Energy right now. I have her cd, I can pop in hub one day if you'd like to upload off me.
Count Knobula
Maybe, the music is the important part for me, not lyrics.
Svyatogornyj
Vocals are just another instrument.

T'would be amazing!

Or just zip it and up it to megaupload.com or sendspace.com, etc.
Ultra Magnus
Most of the time, no. I like understanding what I am listening to.

I have a few Japanophile friends wh love the J-Pop and J-Rock. And while I love the music and voices behind a lot of the J-Rock, I don't enjoy listening to it, because I do not understand it.

You hit it on the nail. Like a hammer.
Donald Rack
If I do, I have to find lyric translations.
evildoughnuts
Yea, I have quite a few songs in different languages.
