Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I don't know what language the lead singers sing though, there are a few English words in there, I'm sure.

Quite a bit actually. I mean, lyrics don't generally make that much of a difference and reading the translation once is enough to get the gist of the song.
I listen to euro metal (rammstein, dimmu borgir) spanish/latino music (gypsy kings, don omar, mano negra, manu chao), a lot of eastern european stuff (goran bregovic, gothart) and some american foreign language stuff (Kultur Shock, Gogol Bordello).



I've been listening to this guy a lot lately

Sure. I don't listen to the words of English songs most of the time anyway. The vocals are just another instruments. Non-English bands can be better sometimes because I don't get distracted by the lyrics.

Sure. I don't just listen to the music for the lyrics. The beat can draw me in as well. Sometimes the foreign voices that I cannot understand can also be a bit melodic and sound appeasing to the ears. So, yeah... if it sounds good, I listen to it .

I don't think I have anything non-English beyond a little bit of German and Korean stuff. Maybe a few Japanese ones too.

Can understand the German and Korean stuff 90%.

Japanese not quite as much.

I listen to a lot of Arabic music. Then again, I speak fluent Arabic.

We had to turn our classroom into Germany in middle school. I brought a bunch of Beck's beer logos on stickers as a joke, to put all over soda cans. My teacher didn't find it amusing and tossed them all. My classmates downloaded some German song called "Alkohol" by Herbert G.something and we used it to set the "German" mood in the class. Needless to say, teachers complaints of loud music + him coming back to class = lulz. I love that song.
