I'm currently into Tokyo Jihen or Shiina Ringo.
Not sure about your reaction but you should try them out 🙂
They're Japanese BTW.

When it comes to non-american music, I prefer folk music.

Or traditional music, if you will.

Options 1 and 2 assume you're American. 'Foreign' refers to any country that isn't your own (loosely). To me America is foreign.

Non-UK bands I listen to:
Stratovarius (Finnish)
Blind Guardian (German)
Hammerfall (Swedish)

As well as OSTs for anime and games that I like. (Noir, .Hack//Sign, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts)

Lose - Opposite of win, to misplace something/someone. e.g. To lose your way, to lose a fight.
Loose - Opposite of tight. e.g. To have a loose screw, to loosen a jar lid.

American music is foreign music for me...

Far-off places with sweet sounding names.

Mostly i listen to american music, but i also listen some british bands and i like some songs i hear when i listen to anime. So i picked number 3.

Common sense just isn't that common

Yeah, see that's where the problem with labelling music as "foreign" comes in. Literally, if I had to list my favourite foreign bands, it's pretty much all the bands I listen to generally since I'm from Ireland.
Perhaps by "foreign" we should imply "bands that sing in a language different to yours", but then there's the whole problem of instrumental bands...
Sheesh! 😐

American music would still be foreign for me though...

Far-off places with sweet sounding names.

yeah, as many said before, american music is foreign... all music in english is foreign for me, but i listen music in many languages, and from many countries... i like diversity in music 🙂

If the language isn't ugly, I'll gladly
listen to it, if the song is good.

Agreed. The reason why I listen to foreign music is really for the music (instruments) part and if the gibberish seems to fit in. Knowing what they're really saying though would be nice though. I can't ever find translated lyrics. It's like fansubbing but less effort.

GAH! My plot doesn't bend that way!

I have such a broad playlist that I inevitably listen to music from around the world. I'm English so English and American bands are pretty mainstream but I also have easy access to celtic styles as well. I'm also very musical and have been playing the flute since I was 9 so I have listened to classical pieces from everywhere. I particularly like the russian style. Then I have all the anime/game OSTs which lead me to artists like Yiruma and Yoko Kanno. My sister has a lot of african and jamaican friends so I listen to a lot of traditional music as well as the RnB/hip hop type as well.Eurovision sometimes throws out a good foreign band among the volumes of garbage. I also youtube surf so when people have a good song in their AMV I usually add it and maybe more from that artist to my playlist so I have lots of artists from all over the place really. I love variety in my music and what better way to get variety than to listen to lots of different styles.

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

I love listening to other languages being spoken :T Except Vietnamese and that one other language spoken in Thailand... That one makes me feel stupid, since it sounds like Viet, and I can kinda sorta not really speak Viet xD

I'm not even going to list a Japanese band xD Too many of those...
So far, I listen to: German, Russian, French, English, Taiwanese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Tagalog, and some others... 🤣 I love music. xDD

Love is so bad.

I listen to mostly Korean songs (country of origin) and some American songs. I listen to a lot of japanese songs too. Mostly from animes.

Ditto

Big Bang (Korean)
Epik High(Korean)
Wonder girls(korean)

.... You get the idea

The evidence is always there, you just cant see it

Sure, I listen to loads of different music.

Whether it's american, british, greek, japanese, french etc

I mostly listen to British and American, but no. 4 described me pretty well XD

I get them from my friends, especially the japanese music. My friend has loads that I like to listen to on his ipod ^__^

foreign music ftw lol
but not sure if it counts since im norwegian and listen to a lot of norwegian music haha
but i love all kinds of music, and understanding it all isn't really necessary 😀
