It is sad that you listen ONLY english so

^ Heard any good Klingon prog lately?

I love Italian prog... I'd never just listen to songs in my native language, which is English.  I  like listening to French and Japanese songs since I can already speak them rather poorly and so  listening to it helps to improve my command of the languages.

Really, though, lyrics have never mattered nearly as much to me as the music itself (with many pieces of music understanding the banal lyrics can decrease the enjoyment).  If I really like a song sung in a  language I can't understand, I will look for a translation.  Moreover, I don't think English a very lovely  language for singing -- aesthetically I tend to prefer hearing a song sung in, for instance, one of the romantic languages such as Spanish, Italian, French.....

I give music a chance no matter what language its in, but to be honest I haven't found many non-english speaking bands that I like.  Harmonium is one.  Paatos is another.  Like it or not, lyrics are part of listening to music, and if you can't understand them, your not going to get the full scope of the music.

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      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?
