And yes, the one's I posted were Santana. They kick butt. Especially with Smooth.
The French one was NAAST. They were in GHIII with that same song.

I won't list video game artists up here. All the names of the guys sound the same and are too weird for me to remember.
1. Children of Bodom! I love Alexi Laiho and he is damn sexy.
2. Dir en Grey. Though they are the only Japanese band I know, unfortunately, they kick so much ass.
3. Tristania - I wish Vibeke was still with them... she left.
Same with Morton Veland, though more in the Widow's Weeds days. (Every other Tristania fan would disagree with me there)4. Opeth - their dark melodies and beautiful lyrics are amazing.
5. Bjork is amazing. I love her! [I don't know how to do that weird o thing on the computer...]
I have a very weird taste in music. I like what I listen to, though.

-Eros Ramazzotti - I heard him on a mix CD, he's great.
-Aqua and Toybox- I'm fairly sure they both hail from Denmark. They do Techno-Pop (Aqua did Barbie Girl).
-Santana- A great band. I was introduced to them by my father.

Oh, and I don't know if they count as 'foreign', but the Australian rock band Silverchair also kicks ass
Loser - Les Plastiscines (official music video)
Håll om mig (Hold me) - Nanne Grönvall (Princess Tutu AMV; kicks ass)
Moments - Ayumi Hamasaki (KH2 AMV; kicks less ass)
Hanamaru Sensation - Little Non (Japanese fan video; must-see)
Dragostea Din Tei (Numa Numa) - O-Zone (official music video)
Acid Rain - Silverchair (some video about acid rain)
I'm trying to get into more foreign music, but I have no idea who to look for. Thank Godot for this thread

Of course, I can't go without mentioning the Greek stuff.

Yassou Maria (Hello Maria) by Sarbel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94TP08rWzPs (video does not include entire song)
^Greek entry to 2007 Eurovision song contest, finished 7 out of 20-something entries
Unfortunately, I do not fully understand the lyrics of any of the above songs. My Spanish and Greek are good for conversations, but the songs move too fast or they use language uncommon in everyday speak.
I also like more traditional Greek stuff, played using the bouzouki, the lyre, etc.

Haha, I was thinking that too but it was stated "Non-American" bands so I guess it's pretty specific either way x3

Awww. I liked it. It's fun to listen to.
Anyway, I have no new foreign music bands.

Wait... So, basically I can't speak about English or American bands here although they are foreign bands to me? O_o
Well, to name a few NON-ENGLISH/AMERICAN (and non-Finnish, since that wouldn't be foreign to me) band, here's a list of what I listen to:
- Sigur Rós (Iceland)
- Convoj (SWE)
- Cult of Luna (SWE)
- Khoma (SWE)
- Caribou (CAN) WAIT! Can I post that one either?
- Cornelius (JAP)
- YMCK (JAP)
Since I can't post anything American, although that would be foreign to me, my list is relatively short.

Mm, she has a really light, airy voice. It's really relaxing to listen to her songs. My favorite bossa singer is Astrud Gilberto though. She's awesome xD

I saw them live three years ago. Their album Supernatural is the best. I grew up listening to it ALL THE TIME in the car. It was awesome (My mother and father like them too, so...)

Foreign Music = Music where the singer doesn't speak in English/The members are from different country/countries.
There.
OK, I mostly found out about Santana while listening to them in the car as well. That's where I got a lot of the bands I like.
Nego, Ha ha, my dad likes Sigur Ros too. Of course I once listened to it and it blew my eardrums, but we all like different music.

Héroes del Silencio - La sirena varada
Antònia Font - Alegria
Quique González & Bunbury - Pequeño rock & roll
Barón Rojo - Los rockeros van al infierno
And non-Spanish bands that are neither from the USA nor England:
Pain of Salvation - Ashes
Therion - Lemuria
Valensia - Phantom of the Opera

I don't listen to much Foreign Rock. (My definition of listen is like at least one of the band's albums.) The only Foreign Rock band I listen a lot of to is Santana, though some might not classify that as Rock.

There.
OK, I mostly found out about Santana while listening to them in the car as well. That's where I got a lot of the bands I like.
Nego, Ha ha, my dad likes Sigur Ros too. Of course I once listened to it and it blew my eardrums, but we all like different music.
If that's the case (foreigh music = music with non-english vocals), my list will be narrowed a bit more. :D To me the language the music is sung is not important though. I usually try to listen to the music over the vocals as it gives me so much more than words. Maybe that's why I love Sigur Rós. Their vocals are just another instrument and you're not supposed to listen to the vocals and try to understand them. No, you're supposed to listen to the music as a whole. That's why the singer, Jónsi Birgisson, sings both in Icelandic and Hopelandish (a made-up language based on Icelandic).
Well, here's my list. I also included some Finnish bands as they are foreign to you Americans. I disincluded those bands who sing in English.
(in alphabetical order)
- Apulanta (FIN) [Trauma]
- Cornelius (JAP) [Count Five or Six]
- Sigur Rós (IS) [Gobbledigook (video NSFW, so I linked to the song on YouTube)]
- YMCK (JAP) [Go! YMCK Go!]

Se7en(Korean)-He sings in english and is having an English album out on July 7th but I do not care.
Utada Hikaru-She sings in English too and has an English album out. Is also making a second one.
BOA-Sings in English too, is planning to release in the US.
M-flo-Mixes English with Japanese and composes music.
Crystal Kay-Half Black half Korean, you figure it out.
MONDAY Michiru-no commento yet.
PUSHIM-reggae artist.
Ken Hirai- Fabulous.

OK, lemme rephrase it again.
Foreign Music = The band either: 1. Speaks in another language and is from another country,
2. Speaks English, but is from another country.
It's stuck?

Yes.
Weeeeee!
Uhmmm...I have a lot but can't note a number of them since I can't pronounce or read some of the artist names let alone the song titles(Russian).
Tie that with me not putting any importance on birth-country because it's not.
Still....
I know Daft Punk is one.
Demoniac(See: Dragonforce) might be another. New Zealand doesn't have an official language because of all the nationalities and languages people use there. Still, they're an awesome band and ANY awesome band HAS to speak more than one language. That's a given rule or the music just....Dies.
Rhapsody/ThunderCross/Rhapsody of Fire/Whatever... (See above reasoning)
Stratovarius (They're gone?
)I'm positive Yngwie Malmsteen didn't grow up on pure English. Name changes were in order. Jimi's death struck a nerve. A legend was born. GG NO RE.
There's a lot more I'd post but I'm not sure about the non-English thingy.
