Seconded! I just can't enjoy music in English for some reason.

Makes for some awkward conversations when people ask what kind of music you like. "Umm... well I don't listen to any bands you'd know of, let's put it that way."

Yeah, that's so annoying... once an Italian taxi driver asked me what language we speak in Mexico.

For some reason I feel bad, because as far as I know I only have songs in 3 languages (if you couldn't guess, they're English, Spanish, and oddly I have a few in German even that somehow got on there before I started with German)
Now if we count language courses, I think I could blow 4 out of the water.

Hahahaha don't feel bad, maybe I exaggerated!...Some songs that are in a language I'm not familiar with I don't even know what they say, I just like the way they sound...But there's a cool Dutch rap song called "eeyeeyo" you should have, if you like that genre.

I'm actually listening to it right now. I like it, it may go on my iPod soon.

Totally agreed. Most of the music I listen to is English but it's never on the radio. On a similar topic:

When you're going through an Irish folk band's music and pick out the ones with Irish Gaelic titles to listen to first.

This is SO true. Underground music is never played on the radio, but you can find crap from Gucci Mane and Soulja Boy on there any day.
