Mmmm... Are you Russian, @Hexen?

You know, my first shot was that you were Central European, Scandinavian... or even American. I was close to Russia once, but never went beyond the Baltic Countries. Still, there live a lot of Russians, and you know interesting people and cultures there. I grew specially fond of Belarusian women :) ... such adorable persons =).

I myself don't know if I know "much" or "little" of Mexican music. In any case, I listen to Mexican music that few people listen nowadays.

1 , 2 , 3 , 4 (my vid)

If you ask me what is playing in the Mexican radio nowadays, I cannot tell ... and even knowing, my guess is that I will not hear it.

So let's just mention "Eurobeat"

It's so damn uplifting / has a catchy tune...

...Huh, you just made it apparent to me that Eurobeat all uses a very similar cover art format. Stopped liking the music in my teenage years but I love that part...

Nevertheless, slow/medieval choral makes some of the best background music, IMO.
I personally feel (mostly from experience) that a lot of native English speakers have a much lower tolerance for non-English singing, too, compared to other language natives listening to other-lang songs. It's a shame, but I guess the English music world has what may as well be a majority of the (well-documented) greats. On that note, lately I've been obsessed with "The Lemons" (Mongolian) and "Sumé" (Greenlandic). Would recommend for those with a propensity to pop-rock styles!

Edit: On the note of twistedlogik contribution, sludge metal (bonus points if not stoner metal, sorry) could use some love. I see a lot of reason for it to be appealing, it's wicked heavy without a lot of the flaws that metal gets when redundant. It's the origin of this username, after all.

Thanks.

Mmmm... I will shorten this entry, because it was a lot of text and afer all this thread is not about my musical kinks '=).

I just will say that after 2010, the musical scene, for me is "a dark zone".

Regarding what you said about "Mongolian rock", I have not hear it yet. But I saw a documental on TV some years ago, that was very interesting. Maybe I will try to find something of it later.

Have a nice day.

My bad on making "Mongolian music" a genre, that wasn't exactly the intention. Sure does feel exotic, though... but not everything has throat singing in it, it's just a pretty sounding tongue ^^
Did see someone wearing a hoodie of one of the heavier Mongolian folk-metal bands, Tangier Calvary, IRL, so I'm probably biased...

Counter-edit to your current edit: Hey, they're still trying to figure out this "catchy+profitable industry" thing. ^^' (sorry about the Korean neighbor confusion BTW, sounds like a bold move tho)

But yeah, Dean Martin. Dunno about you, but in regards to music and feelings, he and his band is a warm blanket of nostalgia. Maybe that's part of the lack of influence? It's good to come to one's own conclusions.
