I was brought up on classical music, too - Italian arias and German cantatas I couldn't understand... Hell, even when opera singers sang in English I couldn't understand what they were saying.

I assumed Joan Sutherland was a scat singer who didn'

I have noticed much the same, but appear to be the exception that proves the rule-- in fact, it's why I can't take modern Country, but like (sometimes love) the older stuff. If I still cared about music as much as before, I'd probably seek out

I like Paolo Conte, who sings in gravelly Italian, ocassionally with bits of French and English mixed in. He's a talented composer. To me a nice thing about foreign lyrics is, unlike stupid lyrics in English, they don't grate on me when they are inane or l

Well, I happen to like African music very much and most of the lyrics are sung in the native tongue, whatever it happens to be. If you're at all interested in African

My favorite French band right now is the Prototypes -- kind of a mix between Blondie and the Ramones.

I don't understand most lyrics, since for some reason, they don't mean as much to me as the music.

On a slightly different note, I've found that Japanese anime theme songs can be quite catchy. Berserk,
