there a station in the KC area that plays spanish rock on tuesday night that I will listen to on the way to work.
 
My wife was a foreign exchange student in Germany back in high school. She said the German people basically looked at Rammstein the same way that we look at N'Sync here in the states :biggrin:

I've heard that too, so when I met a friend's family member visiting from Germany I asked them about this and they laughed. They said that comparison is in regards to how popular they were. And the more popular they are, the greater the hate for those that don't like them. So yeah... Pretty similar actually
 
Good music is good music regardless of what's being said, and it normally sounds much better in its original language. I submit as evidence:

I listen to a lot of European metal and electronic music on Pandora. Metallica led to Rammstein, then KMFDM, and now I hear everything from Allen-Lande to In Flames to Funker Vogt to Grendel to Mortiis. A lot of that is in English, but a lot of it isn't and I don't mind at all.

Only if there's no vocals. I can listen to instrumental music in any language...as long as it's easy on the ears.
