I have listened to french radio and on the commercial stations they all play english speaking music(generally speaking again). and the government controlled stations only play french speaking music because of regulations.

And you must agree with me. (generally speaking)

I know some of you will come up with examples but im talking about the majoirty.

So why dont the non-english speaking countries get some good tunes?

is it because of the langauge, well no, look at some exceptions celeen dion , enrqiue iglasias. They have made some non english tunes. they both speak foriegn langues in their tunes and some turn up hits.

Sorry this isnt a porn discussion but I am not a member of any music forums

just wondering.

Generally speaking... because you listen only crap music?

Now seriously, you're starting from a twisted logic, that the only music worth something is the one who takes an style from US and then reproduces it in its own language. First, it will sound odd to an ear that doesn't know that language. Second, you're ignoring all the music whose roots REALLY comes from that place. You even mention Celine Dion and Enrique Iglesias, who, in a scale of 1-10 in quality must rank around -8. If I take those standards for comparison purposes, yes, it all sucks. Now, I'd take Blink 182 and Hillary Duff and say "all English language music sucks" and I wouldn't be wrong
