The vast majority of what I listen to is in English. Similarly the majority of films I watch are English language films (although a much smaller majority). This isn't a conscious decision, it just happens to be what gets publicised and recommended to me - living, as I do, in England. However, if someone whose tastes I trust recommends me a film or an album in a foreign language, I will do my best to watch/listen to it. TBH, I tend to regard foreign language music as I do instrumental music. I just take the voice as another instrument. If I come across translations of the lyrics, I will attempt to read those alongside the music if somebody insists they are an important part of it (as with some of the Yugo stuff in the BYT), but on the whole the lyrics to foreign language albums don't bother me remotely. If it feels good to me, that's all I need.

I wish I could be born in an English-speaking country -_-'
I still haven't listened to a lot of "foreign" music, but when I'll consider I know "enough" English music, I'll start to make my ears travel around the world, and I think it will be a really, really great experience. And Olsen Olsen is my favourite Sigur Ros song

Does Sigur Ros Count? huhuhu
I listen to a shitload of hindi/bhangra music. I think music speaks better/louder than lyrics ever could anyway so language is of no consequence to me.
