Who here likes foreign music?

[t3hmuffinman]

Does anyone here like foreign music (that for the most part you can't understand)? More and more I seem to find myself enjoying foreign music because it's different than the majority of american bands. And it just's nice to not having to strain yourself trying to figure out what they're saying (because you have no chance of knowing )

also, any suggestions on some good foreign music? I enjoy listening to asian kung fu generation (yeah, i know... but don't judge them by their name), they're a japanese rock band that did one of the intros for Full Metal Alchemist, and also O-Zone which is some weird romanian (i think) technoish band...

edit: here is some video of some random large person bouncing/lip syncinc go an O-zone song Text

and here is the asian kung fu generation english fan site with clips from their song/music videos...

WORST QUESTION EVER!!! Thats like asking some one what kind of movies they like, and they reply with "I like indemendant films." WTF does that mean? An independant film just means that it was made independantly, spanning all genres.

i listen to pretty much 100% foreign music. when i'm in a classical mood most of it is "foreign" also. heh.

I like The Pillows, they are a j-rock group that did a lot of the music for the anime, FLCL. I also like Ayumi Hamasaki, a famous j-pop artist, and Rina Chinen, another cool j-pop singer.

same here. 70% japanese female vocals, rest BGMs from various series.

I like the UK stuff mostly like Rammstein, U2 etc.
The Japanese stuff sounds more like bubblegum music.

 

[ThePresence]

I like some Israeli bands that I doubt any of you have ever heard of.

Bück dich!!!

bück dich - befehl ich dir
wende dein Antlitz ab von mir
dein Gesicht ist mir egal
bück dich

ein Zweibeiner auf allen Vieren
ich führe ihn spazieren
im Passgang - den Flur entlang
ich bin enttäuscht
jetzt kommt er rückwärts mir entgegen
honig bleibt am Strumpfband kleben
ich bin enttäuscht, total enttäuscht

bück dich
bück dich
bück dich
bück dich

das Gesicht interessiert mich nicht

der Zweibeiner hat sich gebückt
in ein gutes Licht gerückt
zeig ich ihm was man machen kann
und ich fang zu weinen an

der Zweifuss stammelt ein Gebet
aus Angst weil es mir schlecht ergeht
versucht er tief sich noch zu bücken
Tränen laufen hoch den Rücken

bück dich
bück dich
bück dich
bück dich

bück dich - befehl ich dir
wende dein Antlitz ab von mir
dein Gesicht ist mir egal
bück dich - nocheinmal

bück dich
bück dich
bück dich
bück dich

bück dich
