Makes me smile every time

 

[Dango]

Most of my music is Japanese, and the band I've been listening to the most recently is heidi., so, here you go.

Spoiler: spoiler'd for lots of songs

 

[darkman80723]

Слот from Russia and HIM from Finland hands down

 

[Arisato-kun]

And Metric, They're Canadian:

This. Metric is my absolute favorite band.

I'm also a big fan of Gackt.


And my summer band forever is Ikimono Gakari.


And I've really started to enjoy a lot of stuff from Asian Kung-Fu Generation as well.

 

[xXAsherahXx]

Iron Maiden. Saw them live, it was the best concert ever.

 

[jbchillin]

favorite current foreign artist would be "the streets" if i consider ones from the past i guess the beatles would be.

 

[Kaytastrophe]

Sabaton...swedish metal at its finest!

[mgrier123]

Sonata Arctica, Firewind, Bullet For My Valentine, Alestorm, The Ocean, all I can think of for now

 

[sinkirby]

RAMMSTEIN / thread

 

[TheSolemnHypnotic]

Well, I really like Jrock. For example:

Malice Mizer [GACKT used to be a member].


Also, I really like this Jrock band called SuG.

They're both really pretty songs. ^_^

[Bellerophone]

I like some Japanese bands, too--like Garnet Crow and CHEMISTRY. Just singers, though, my favorites are Japanese singers Fumiko Orikasa and Mamoru Miyano, and Algerian-French singer Najoua Belyzel.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Tokio Hotel, mainly because i like the singer *winks*.
and French rap/metal is shockingly good, despite their reputation.

 

[Teckdeth]

Italian Power Metal prodigies, DGM!

 

[Akyho]

No Polysics?!

Oh woah is the day.

[Tea_bird]

I really love the Japanese band, Janne Da Arc.

And the Norwegian band, Animal Alpha.

 

[infohippie]

Garbage is probably my favourite foreign band - they're American with a Scottish lead singer. If you mean favourite non-English-language band, I'd go with Caramell, just for Caramelldansen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A67ZkAd1wmI].

[sub]Ironically, the video of Caramelldansen I linked to is actually the English language version.[/sub]

 

[Busdriver580]

Rammstein is the obvious one, but I also really like Children of Bodom (even though I can only rarely understand what he's saying)

 

[Tanis]

Yoko Kanno's The Seatbelts.

Gotta love their work on the Cowboy Bebop OSt.

 

[Ghengis John]

I'm also a big fan of Gackt.

Nothing wrong with Gackt. Vanilla was a damn snazzy tune and he's a fan of berserk. Tip of the hat to ya.

Since being Australian and all that i'll list some of the less major "foreign" bands/musicians that i like:
