Foreign Music

[plowking]

Now I know a lot of people are just into one type of music, but I was just wondering if anyone listens to any foreign (non-english speaking) music. I know a lot will mention Ramnstein, but are there any other bands or artist, which people listen to?

Kraftwerk though their stuff is in english/german.
And also like Edith Piaf a little ,such a unique voice.

Recently went to Reunion Island, a part of France but in island form off the coast of Madagascar, and one of the popular artists there was Fatal Bazooka. An absolute crack up.

There's bands like Sigur Ros, Air etc that I listen too. Trying to think who else as I know there is plenty, but my mind has gone completely blank

Alamaailman Vasarat are awesome. Bizarre Finnish group whose music is a mish-mash of folk, polka, Jewish music, rock, and everything in between. Great stuff.

I listen to a fair bit of Ska from Europe, mainly German and Dutch bands.

Mark Foggo's Skasters being a fave.

Read a fair bit about it on my english soccer clubs forum though, sounds good.

The soundtrack is a good one.

I thought it was a great film (funny too). Anyway it wasn't until i saw it i realised skin heads were bought together for ska music, before that i thought the foundations were racist.

I used to listen to a few German bands, but now I just listen to Malajube. Too many other cd's to listen to to get diverse.

Well alot of skinheads back then were dumb as dog shit, they couldn't see the irony of listening to black peoples music.

Of course not all skins were racists, just most of them.

If you read Madness history skinheads are mentioned a bit early on as comming to their gigs, which might be why Madness went away from Ska and into their carnival ground sounds.

The Specials always had skins comming to their gigs.

Even have a song called Skinhead Moonstomp which is a cracker of a song to jump around too.

The 4 Skins were a skins favourite and it was after one of their gig a massive riot broke out with Asian youths.

Skrewdriver were a skins band back then that was hardcore BNP.

Most of the bands wanted shot of the skins because on the whole they were troublemakers.

As it progressed Ska in Europe now though is very much associated with the mods and their scooter clubs.

I listen to a lot of black metal from norway/sweden

 

[Constipated Duck]

Anyone into Rammstein may also find Die Apokolyptische Reiter to their liking. Sung mostly in German, sometimes in English, it's a mix of metal, punk, industrial etc. The album "Samurai" is brilliant.
