Nice article. It's true, a lot of people are unwilling to experiment outside of English language music.
Like my dad, he claims he's this "muso" and he's so unwilling to listen to anything outside conventional music...
He doesn't like early Nightwish because of Tarja's vocals, he doesn't like Gackt because of his deep voice, he doesn't like Rammstein because he considers them a "joke band", he only likes Ayumi because she's pretty, but he's even said that he doesn't like music where he can't understand the lyrics.
I don't mind someone not liking music because the dislike it, but for someone to dislike a music based on language, I see this as a form of racism tbh.
To me, vocals are just another instrument, sure they have the added meaning of words, but even without words it's still an instrument, so it makes me laugh when "musos" say that vocals aren't an instrument, and vocalists who can't play an instrument are untalented...
But yeah. That's all I have to say on it really. xD
