After listening to a couple of the songs I've got to say I finally realize why English songs are so popular. Kidding :)

Very funny...if I were more bigoted I'd tell you off...hehehe....you aussies are lucky because your country has good bands, especially those which were outstanding in the 80's....Icehouse, INXS, Spy vs Spy, Crowded House (I know some of the members are Kiwi).....

Speaking of 80's songs, my today's suggestion is a good Argentine band which rocked Latin America at that time (sadly except Brazil)

doesn't anyone know about further current Hugarian music as well as Romanian?


Try Emanuel Santarromana - Metropolitan. I think it's Hungarian. The vocals are by
Elise Dabrowski.

I love music in all different languges.
I don't really use youtube a whole lot so you'll need to look for these for yourself.
This list is not complete of what I listen to but it is a good portion of the different languages I listen to.

Armenian

Armenian Navy Band (Armenian, world, jazz.....mind blowing music)
Arto Tunçboyaciyan (The same guy does ANB but this is his own wide ranging solo work)

Turkish
Barış Manço
Bulutsuzluk Özlemi (blues turkish style)
Candan Erçetin
Cem Koksal
Duman (a very unusual but very addictive turkish rock band)
Funda Arar
Gripin
Kurban (heavy metal with a twist)
Mor ve Ötesi (very solid rock band - beautiful melodies)
Pentagram (MezarKabul)
Pilli Bebek (voice of gold
Ogün Sanlısoy (hard rocker with a soft side)
Şebnem Ferah (possibly the most beautiful female singer I have heard)
Sezen Aksu
Vega
Yüksek Sadakat

German
Judith Holofernes (solo work of the singer from Wir Sind Helden)
Rammstein
Schweisser (If you like the heavy stuff these guys are awesome)
Stahlhammer - they do a metal cover of "You Can't Touch This" - enough said
Wir Sind Helden - (this rock makes you want to move - catchy and fun)
Megaherz
Eisbrecher


French
Bénabar
Debout Sur Le Zinc (one of the most varied bands I have had the pleasure to listen to)
Kyo
La Rue Kétanou
La Tordue
Les Hurlements D'léo
Pleymo (very strange...but I love it)



Spanish
Gipsy Kings
Ill Niño - (heavy metal band that does a few of them in Spanish)

Listen to it normally. Nothing against the band itself, I just don't like the way Spanish sounds, for some reason.

Now off to a popular french band called Kyo:
