YES!

I love anything sung in German, I don't know why.

I prefer english, to be able to understand the lyrics, because lyrics are important to me, but I still love listening to bands sing in German (and read the translations side by side). Here's some of my favorites...

Omg I'm going to have to pos rep Seth for the rammstein. I dont like songs in Spanish though because those assholes recording in America should be singing in American.

i once had to spend 3 hours translating this song into english for a course because the instructor was hungover

Rammstein are one of my favourite bands on Earth and the best live band on Earth, only band I will go and see every single time they tour without question. Won't fill up the thread with their songs tho given they've already been mentioned. I find myself "enjoying" some bad foreign pop songs, possibly because I have no idea what the probably awful lyrics are. "Discovered" quite a few of them through computer games

Come on, spoiler tags.

Thank you son. Also I've not got much, bar Rammstein who are so awesome live that even my mum's seen them twice. Think I've got maybe one band who sing in French, and this:

Dragon Ash (Japanese with the occasional swearing in English)
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/86l3liv_dws" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also like the Japanese bands Boris and Mad Capsule Markets, who usually sing in Japanese.

Julie Fowlis (Scottish Gaelic)
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/w1I2nCAaodI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Mediaeval Baebes (They sing in Middle English, Medieval Latin, and other languages from different periods)
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SAjctga1DhY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I believe this track is sung in C17th Swedish

Oh, and recently I have been enjoying Mike Patton's Mondo Cane album, in which he sing entirely in Italian (except for one track).

Sometimes (s)he sings in other languages

& another bunch of songs off the FIFA games I cant be fucked to find r/n

I listen to alot of Japanese music I hear in various anime's, but I also don't mind some Macedonian music.

I listen to a lot of French music. Did not think Fignuts would be a Françoise Hardy fan.

I would slap the taste out of Pintints mouth for mentioning german music and posting german metal but leaving Rammstein out of the post entirely.

Our mutual friend, mr. Southwood turned my attention to that song.

The man has good tastes. And so do you.

Well, that's because I'm not a fan of Rammstein. Why would I be posting videos of a band I'm not a fan of? They are more of an industrial rock band than metal anyway, and I posted Lacrimosa, who are Gothic rock and not metal.

Is it really foreign if it's your language?

I mean, isn't it like me citing Queen as a foreign language band because they're British, not American?

I thought it was "foreign according to the topic creator", in the sense that he wanted suggestions or something.

I listen to English music a lot then. I'll post my suggestions later. I think you guys will like them.

since they've been mentioned again, RAMMSTEIN

Mad props for posting this, didn't think anyone here would know/like Julie Fowlis. :y:

I have her album 'Cuilidh', and it's pretty good. I also saw her live, and thought it was pretty boring though. :-\

Does anyone here know Die Prinzen? A German pop-acapella group? They're pretty awesome.

Their biggest hit however, was a b-side. A rock version of one of their songs.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cd_sg7LQFEM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Can't believe nobody posted this either... wasn't this song a huge internet meme/hit thing a few years back? Well, besides this and maybe one or two others, most of their songs are pretty naff anyway. But this song is really popular in Germany, and pretty much every pub plays it at some point or another so everyone can drunkingly sing along to it.

Except me. I don't know the fucking lyrics. :mad:

I thought ABBA had a few pretty catchy tunes.

For those who like Rammstein, you might like Eisbrecher if you aren't already familiar with them:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cutvWxvnDzI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You might also like And One, although they aren't as heavy as Rammstein or Eisbrecher:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vUaDrpZ65AI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This song is in English as opposed to German, but it's my favorite And One song:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sjH6sqwbMtA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

German acts aside, I also like some J Rock as well, here is Mois dix Mois:

So anyway, I was trying to remember some more songs, but I'll just post these:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5CHoD9TtS3g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yumiko Kosaka, "Reason." Theme to Tekkaman Blade.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Cj65kWTtvlU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Tragedie, "Je Reste Ghetto." Yeah, the opening and some parts (feat Reed) is in English. This is the song that got me into them (From the Ong-Bak soundtrack). Like the rest of their stuff, but I like the harmonies on this one.

And can I slip in a bilingual song? Like, literally, not like the above:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7xzw9luxo0w?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yes, another song from an anime.

I like a lot of Spanish music. Maná, Gipsy Kings, Selena, Manu Chao, La Sarita. Everyone chill out with the youtube videos.
