Foreign Bands

I like the Scorpions.

French band from Quebec.

I listen to a lot of foreign bands that sing in English 95% of the time (Slovenia, Germany, Belgium). I love this band though, Icelandic.

When you say "Bands" you mean a group of musicians right? You are talking about at least 2 musicians that are playing instruments & singing, and not one or more DJ's sitting behind a mixing board, right?

If you buy a Scorpions album in Germany are they singing in German? I don't think I've ever heard a Scorps song in German.

LOL. Yeah, guys that play actual instruments.

No DJ's/Digital Mixing, whatever you want to call it.

An old song that makes me think about my dad... Fuck I miss the cunt.

Kaleo, pretty sure they are Icelandic

Thinking of all the music I've been into growing up and in my adult life. It's all been bands that have lyrics in English. The Scorpions from Germany, always did English lyrics. I liked Krokus in the 1980's, they are a Swiss band but always did English lyrics. Does Vangelis count? He's from Greece but a keyboard instrumentalist.

^^^ "Is the thread meant to highlight bands that sing in other languages besides english?"

Yes. I know there's a lot of bands from different countries that sing in English but if you listen to music that is sang in a different language post them up.

In my entire life, growing up and in my adult life, listening to AM rock stations in the 60's, and FM stations in the 70's, then later MTV when they actually played music videos, I just have never been exposed to any non-English lyric bands.

Millencolin and No Fun At All from Sweden are probably my favorite foreign bands. Funny they’re both from Sweden.

Back in my really hardcore days, i loved this Belgium band Zyklome A, some songs are in English some are not. Its so raw!! Makes me miss my skateboard.

You know your stuff! The chick in the film clip is a Norwegian model apparently.

Speaking of Greeks, do you like Demis Roussos? He's got some really nice songs.

Thanks man! Did I sense a "Welcome Back, Kotter" reference?

Phoenix. Versailles

K Zee iz okay.

I think Rammstein has had the most success in rock and metal singing in German. When I was stationed in Germany in the 90s I always saw advertisements for Rammstein in concert but thought the name sounded stupid because I was stationed at Ramstein Airbase. If only I knew then what I know now.

I did see Andrea Bocelle in concert recently. He sings in Italian and is hugely successful.

These guys seem to think their foreigners..lol..
