Would you listen to music in a language you didn't understand?

That's Serbian I believe...

Anyhoo, don't really care what language a band sings in, I rarely pay attention to the lyrics...:shallow:

Btw, I think you totally messed up the word sequence at the end there...

Yes, i suspect the most popular group for this are Rammstein, famous world wide and all in German.

i only put this in the punk forum to show love to two russian punk bands that ROCK, korol i shut and tarakany

Definitely. In fact I'd also say there are quite a few bands I wish would sing in their native language instead of english because I think it would sound a lot better if they used the language they were more comfortable with (I'm looking at you Sepultura).

I don't think I'd listen to music in ASL

Really? I'd think it would appeal to someone who is all eyeball.

I have a few Ratos De Porao cds where Gordo sings in his native tongue which are pretty damn good but i admit the first time i heard them they had released english versions of their South American releases, so i heard the songs first time round in English

Most definitely.

The Mars Volta have a lot of songs that are sung entirely in Spanish, or Spanish/English mixed.
And I dig NOFX's version of "Les Champs Elysees" even though, I have no idea what the words are.
That, and I've also been known to bust out some Dimmu Borgir, whose early repertoire was completely in German.

Right so a few years ago a song called Boten Anna was released by Basshunter (I welcome a slagging I deserve it) and I remember listening to it and knowing all the words (In Swedish) and having no idea what it meant. I enjoyed the lyrics, but the song not so much. Even though I couldnt fully apreciate the lyrics cos they were in swedish, but they were still catchy. Someone told me it was translated into the song we all know and hate, Now Youre Gone. I never bothered to look it up though. Anyways I was a pup when this all happend and its only been in the past 2/3 years I've developed a taste in music. So feel free to rip me a new arsehole. I deserve it for listening to him.

I listen to Polish music almost every day. My parents both immigrated here from Poland and brought with them a lot of records, many of which grew on me. When I moved, they gave their collection to me so whenever I cook I put them on and it reminds me of home. Sappy...I know. My poor boyfriend haha!
