that or rapmasters. i can't give a link, they basically don't exist. i grabbed it out of the $1 bin when i was in prague back in 1999. czechoslovakian "rap". ..it's kind of disco-esque. it is terrible... and terribly awesome.

Finntroll!

The music speaks for itself, and the lyrics are incredibly awesome, if you can understand them and don't take them seriously :D

"And so they shall now be cooked, like they once cooked us. They shall be salted, they shall be boiled, the meat shall fall from the bones. Full of hate. Priest becomes food. He is put on plate." Hmmm, it sounds better in swedish xD.



I LOVE ICELAND!

shiina ringo this is song called "shuukyou (Religion)", she's pretty much my favorite singer/band whatever, radioheads really close though.

Heroes Del Silencio, and Enrique Bunburry later are also awesome.

I don't necessarily like one particular region or language signicantly more than another.


Great choice there, Shiina Ringo is really talented!

If you are going to put an Estopa song it must be Como Camaron...

 

Celtas Cortos:

Mago de Oz:

Both have songs with great and meaningful lyrics.

 

Amaral isn't my thing, but she's good:

Am I allowed to say a group of non-English singing artists?

Yes as long they don't sing in English 

Perfectly fine with me!

OT: Girls' Generation, or SNSD. They are the same thing.

Not my thing, but there are good. They are better than our mainstream music. But glad to see Kpop isn't just Psy

I love Elisa Toffoli even though she sings most of her songs in English instead of her native language Italian but my favorite song of her's is in Italian its "Ancoro Qui" from Django Unchained its also composed by my favorite movie composer Ennio Morricone. Andrea Bocelli is pretty good also.
