I really like some Bangra music, (indian rock) and also LOVE the russian tunes form a video game I own (call of duty 5). My taste in music has always been viewed as a bit weird. I like really depressing stuff, or weird Indian stuff, or that strange Chinese music with squeaky little instruments that's really fast.

I actually prefer music in a language I don't understand, because the words don't distract me from my own thoughts. It's also great to listen to when I'm studying for the same reason. I don't like instrumentals, so foreign music is a great alternative.

Older music fits better my taste (I tend to like music that is about the same age I am):

As for the topic :), I like English songs, routinely translate some of their lyrics for my pleasure, but I like Spanish too, tried to translate to Hungarian, for example this song I love (Manu Chao/El Kitapena):

I love foreign music, but I don't know about foreign pop music.

I love Eastern European music, like Polish and Hungarian music.

I love foreign bands :D Especially if I don't understand the language they're singing in, I learn the words anyway and look up the translation.

i do not understand anything that is "foreign" to my mind.
i only understand things that are "native" to my mind.

for that reason i do not have any interest in music that is "foreign" to my mind. i do not understand it and i do not like it and i do not listen to it because (among many other reasons) i can not play it myself.

i do not identify and so i can not replicate it either in my mind or on the keyboard (which requires mind identification).

Glad to hear it! :) (Hope I don't come off as blunt). I like Polish jazz, I have Dixieland LPs from the 70s, and I like southern-Slavic/Greek/Romanian folk music too, besides Hungarian.

does boyzvoice count? :wink:

Hey there, beautiful girl
You oughta know you rock my world
With your eyes
And those perfect thighs
You make me feel so happy when you smile
You make me want to scream and shout
I'd really like to ask you out
But...
Your my cousin
Second daughter of my fathers sister
Anne marit
You're my cousin
We could never be a couple even if we wanted
Sweet cousin, hey hey hey
Just because we have similar DNA
I've known you all my life
And i was kinda hoping you'd be my wife
But you froze
When i proposed
Daddy beat me up and told me i was being gross
One thing i alwaya wanted to do
Is making passionate love to you
But...
You're my cousin
We could never be a couple even if we wanted
Sweet cousin, hey hey hey
Just because we have similar DNA
How can this be true?
All i want to do
Is kiss your lips
And neglect it
It drives me wild that if we have a child
It would probably be dysletic
Your my cousin
Second daughter of my fathers sister
Anne marit
You're my cousin
We could never be a couple even if we wanted
Sweet cousin, hey hey hey
Just because we have similar DNA
Sweet cousin, hey hey hey
I don't care what people say
Sweet cousin, hee hee hee
Happy ever after, you and me
Dear cousin, whoo hoo hoo
What our music can do to you
Oh cousin, hi hi hi
You will take me to the sky!
Dear cousin...
