Fun Stuff > BAND

What the fuck did he just say?

<< < (2/19) > >>

pwhodges:
Classical music (opera and lieder, with some church music) in various languages, most often German, French, Italian, Latin.  But I also have stuff in Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Czech, Hungarian.  My pop music is virtually all in English - the main exception being several albums by The Pillows (Japanese), whose music was used for the anime FLCL.

Zingoleb:
As of lately, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Die Antwoord, Jack Parow, Rammstein, Azam Ali, Ishtar Alabina, and Oomph! have all been on fairly heavy rotation.

Also Tom Waits; he may be singing in English, but that doesn't necessarily mean I can understand him.

Bluesummers:
I listen to a LOT of Japanese and Korean, and I can't understand most of it. Some from anime, some simply J-Pop and K-Pop. My wife, on the other hand, listens to various folk and pop music from Finland, Latvia, Russia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, China, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, and the U.K. (because no one can understand all that silly cockney anyway :emotrex: )

That doesn't count, you can understand Welsh :P

Dimmukane:
Aside from the typical metal bands, a couple stand out:

Windir - Valfar wrote almost exclusively in the Svalbardian dialect, an old branch of Norse
!T.O.O.H.! - A grindcore band from the Czech Republic.  Their lyrics are mostly intelligible as far as grindcore bands go, but alas, they are in a Slavic tongue

Most of the others are pretty much impossible to understand even knowing how to speak the language or are obvious callouts

Melodic:
Sigur Ros is an obvious one.

There's so much good Japanese shoegaze/experimental music inspired by the 80s and 90s art-rock scene, try Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs, Hyacca (you can actually see the back of my head in the crowd here), Zazen Boys, Praha Depart...
