@@offthecharts2272 , I think the French maybe a lot more " protective " of their culture if you will .., but most of Europe for a good 40 years has adopted English , certainly Germany , most Scandanavian nations , they don't give a toss ..,
@ hmmmm interesting…. As in France? Because the example i used about Celine Dion, she is from the province of Quebec in Canada, and it is VERY french…. And they were not happy with that choice to sing english…. Just to give you an idea how Quebec are protective of their french language, there are laws in Quebec for businesses that you must advertise in french first then english (and the font in french must be bigger). That law has gone ridiculous in the past 10 years… 🙄🤷🏻♂️
@@offthecharts2272 , yeah here in Quebec , France too with their language and arts laws .., in a way to be honest I have no issue with some of that " pride " protection " of culture
That's a trip! Just 4 days ago on the Southern Rocker's channel he uploaded all the songs from that "One Vice at a Time" album by Krokus, so I've been listening to those songs this week. BTW that was the first Krokus album I ever bought, and gradually branched out later to get the others.
Since I used to live in New Orleans, I sometimes listened to Cajun, Creole & Zydeco. I guess those were all really in French, but I had stuff like the Balfa Brothers (La Danse des Mardi Gras}, Jo-El Sonnier (Jolie Blon), and Zachary Richard (Moi Connais Pas, and also Ton Ton Gris-Gris). There was one band that was kind of unique called Mamou, and they played Cajun hard rock. 🐊🦀🦐🦞
I never heard the term Cajun rock, so i'll have to go and check it out... Creole is similar to french, but not quite... very different... I also know Zachary Richard, but somehow thought he was from Quebec... looks like he's american LOL Oups! :)
Like that "Filippa Nassil " you showed I had a " Nena- 99 Luftballons " album on cassette. And one side was in German the other side was the album in english. Played it to death at the time. ABBA also put out a Spainish speaking album like Diamond Dave. Its called Gracias Por La Musica, I do own it for the novelty value!. Its weird hearing the ABBA harmonies in spainish.😅
OMG, I do remember that Nena song being sung in 2 languages... I thought I had dreamt that! LOL So I wonder if that "GOLD" album from ABBA i have, which has a different title is in another lanaguage?
I have a few one-off songs done in other languages by English speaking acts, so they could be released in other markets. I'm pretty sure somewhere I have singles in Spanish by Journey and also by David Lee Roth. The Monkees also did one in Italian, but I think they just learned one verse and sang it over & over instead of learning the whole song. LOL
I don't mind French music here and there (since I'm french) :) I don't know any Hawaiian music, so I can't comment on this! I do love Ghost and NFO! :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
I did mention Europe for Sweden... I could have mentionned Kingdom Come and Victory but forgot... I do not own any EZO and Sepultura though... Sepultura: great example though!
D-A-D don't have any songs in Danish as far as I know. I don't think anyone in Denmark has any problems with them singing in English and not in Danish. Lots of Danish bands sing in English like Pretty Maids, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Skagarack, Kashmir, and Invocator to name a few, but then there are others who sing exclusively in Danish like TV-2, Gnags, and Malurt plus a host of black metal bands. There was an interesting case of a 90s alt rock band called Inside The Whale who switched from English to Danish and had a big hit song after that. There's a doom metal band called Hadron who sing in English but also have a couple of songs in Danish. There was also a band called Nephew who blend Danish and English as an artistic choice. Anyway, I personally don't care what language bands sing in. I don't mind lyrics in languages I don't understand or English sung in foreign accents. No big deal to me. In fact, I find it interesting to hear how English is used creatively by non-native speakers. Anyway, this is interesting because, basically, the topic of this video is language ideology (I work at a university as an Associate Professor of English Linguistics, and one of my colleagues actually does research on language ideology). In a Danish context, English is considered a "cool" language, so I think a lot of people sing in English because of that and not so much to appeal to the North American market. I think the situations in Sweden and Norway are very similar.
THANK YOU!! This is exactly the type of comment and response I was looking for! :) I forgot about Pretty Maids (which I have)... Thank you for confirming D-A-D never sang Danish... I will go check out the rest of the other bands you mentionned... But yeah, that's what I was going for... I never heard the reason where ppl think english is a "cool" language... great point! Never thought of it that way! I just assumed they all sang english as it was the best way to get recognised worldwide! Thanks again for watching and commenting this awesome comment... you nailed it!

@ oh i’m all for protection of culture…. But when some ice cream shop got fined for not having bilingual spoons, i was like “Come on!!!” 🙄😂😂
That Gorky Park album is great.
It's ok... Some good songs (they do a great cover of The Who's My Generation) but some songs are just ok...

Yeah, One Vice at a Time is a good one too! THe first one I got was "Head Hunter" :)
I think I probably got Headhunter 2nd, then worked my way backwards, then finally started again buying forward (hmmm...makin' me dizzy). 🥴
@ 😂😂. Im missing some of the 70s ones and a few of the later ones….

Yeah, some are hit or miss... I think DLR sings the whole song Yankee Rose in spanish... i guess he knows spanish, or more than the Monkees do? :)
Used to avoid non-English albums, but these days I don't mind at all, once the music is decent.
same here... I couldnt stand french rock and now here I am owning some... took me a VERRRRRRRRY long time to accept it...
I don't care for non-English music. The only exception is Hawaiian. Bang is a great song. Ghost and Night Flight Orchestra are awesome!

Sepultura - Brazil
Europe - Sweeden
Kingdom Come - Germany
EZO - Japan
Victory - Germany

@offthecharts2272 I don't watch your videos I just comment haaaaa also remind me later I got a source for records that might be worth it.
