Please, i am tired to see people refuse to listen bands with lyrics written not in english. I m assured that prog bands with italian, german, french and more lyrics are a MUST if you want to call yourself prog lover. Please try, you will not regret it Edited by oracus - April 23 2006 at 14:00 |

As a french speaker, I totally agree with you. English is fine but there is so many AMAZING bands who sing in other languages. *cough* Harmonium *cough* and many others   |

I have no idea to who you are refering. I and most of who I know here listen to Italian, French, Swedish, Finnish, Japanese, Spanish and German singing bands. In fact, more than 50% of the prog bands I listen to do not sing in English. Where did you get this idea?

I have recently got into Italian prog, PFM, Banco Acqua Fragile etc & i love them to bits! I am now looking for another country that does prog music like the Italians! Any suggestions?

Along with the other replies, I cannot believe that anyone refuses to listen to prog because the singing is not English.
I have CDs where the singing is in French, Italian, German, Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Portugese, Welsh and even Scottish Gaelic!
That's the thing about prog, it's the music that is important. Wish I could say the same about my bete noir, rap!

Why is this a matter of "refusal"...it's something of
choice...personally I don't know any case of someone abolishing an
album for being of foreign language...that his preferences are not
withing non-English album,that's a different thing...

I admit that I only listen to music sung in English. I've tried with other languages but I don't like it the same. It's a matter of musical education: since I was a child " quality rock music" has always been for me equivalent to "music in English". perhaps because Spanish rock is not as good, with some few exceptions. Even if there can be lyrics that I don't understand inmediately when listening to music in English, they sound good to me for the fact of being sung in English. English rocks!. I know that this is absurd but I feel it this way.
Anyway I'll keep trying, I promise.

To me, music sung in a differant language dosen't matter. Good music is good music, regardless of what language its sung in

I like other language musics. Personal favorites are German, Italian, and Latin.

I don't "refuse to listen to it" so much as I don't particularly want music that's not sung in English, but more importantly, CDs from other countries are hard to find and expensive as a ****.

I absolutely agree, there are stupid jerks who do that. I don't listen to lyrics, I listen to voice.
And anyway, that's a benefit: you can hate an Italian album for bad music, but you can't hate it for horrible lyrics! |

I do want it very badly, but it would kill me to pay 40$ for a CD. Can someone maybe...upload the music for me? I have no idea how it works, but people have done it for me before. If anyone would care to do it, it would be greatly appreciated. |

I haven;t listened to any music in a foreign language. The first band I ever heard in another language was Rammstien, and that left a really bad taste in my mouth. And I am still getting inot prog, and want to hear the english singing acts more than others. Just prefernce.
And saying that someone isn't a true prog fan if they don't listen to foriegn prog is just ignorant.

A good chunk of my collection features bands who sing in a foreign language, or even one of their own invention, such as Kobaian or Hopelandic. For all the sense they make, most of Jon Anderson's lyrics might as well be in Martian, and Italian prog wouldn't sound the same in any other language - just check out the English language versions of their 1970s classics.
