foreign lyrics -------do you care?

I've been spending a fair bit of time re-discovering French rock & blues lately, mind you I do speak French so I suppose it's not really "foreign" to me. When I travel I hear all kinds of different music and quite enjoy it so... yes I like foreign lyrics.

p.s. if you enjoy bluesy rock you definately need to give Offenbach a listen (Gerry Boulet's voice was made for the blues, awesome whiskey growl), and Harmonium sounds like a French CSNY. Both Quebec-based bands from the 1970's & 1980's that may be unfamiliar to most here.

For those brave souls out there who are not afraid to listen to lyrics in a language other than your own and find interest in a hauntingly beautiful female voice, try Artrosis. Medeah's vocals are, at times, amazing. I never knew Polish could sound so good. Try the link, a sample of her voice will start automatically.

How about artists that often invent their own language appart from any language we know?

For example: Magma(Christian and Maurice Vander),
Dead Can Dance(Lisa Gerrard, Brandan Perry)...

Interesting topic..

I could care less what the lyrics are, I listen to FM quite a bit and the Hispanic station has some good music. Nothing more irritating than someone trying to sell me something in between songs...lol.

Marekanetz-I think you are so right. Just think, if the rest of the world had the same mentality, where would so many English only bands be today? I mean, would The Beatles be so popular?
