1. Mariya Takeuchi- Plastic Love
2. Taeko Ohnuki- 4:00 A.M.
3. Anri- Last Summer Whisper
4. Tatsuro Yamashita- Ride on Time
5. Anri- Windy Summer
6. Tomoko Aran- Midnight Pretenders
7. Yoko Takahashi- A Cruel Angel's Thesis
8. Minako Yoshida- Midnight Driver
9. Miki Matsubara- Stay With Me
10. Tomoko Aran- I’m in Love
11. Junko Ohashi- Telephone Number
12. Tatsuro Yamashita- Daydream
13. Taeko Ohnuki- Summer Connection
14. Mariya Takeuchi- September

All songs are primarily in Japanese, though some have occasional English lyrics (particularly during the choruses).

Secos & Molhados appear to have two self-titled albums; do you want the 1973 or 1974 album? Paix was already nominated.

Thanks. This song was already nominated so you can replace it.

I'm shocked it took this long to get the first song from Histoire de Melody Nelson (six other Serge Gainsbourg songs had already been nominated).

Here are some albums:

Tom Zé - Estudando o samba
Jorge Ben - África Brasil
Marquis de Sade - Rue De Siam
Siekiera - Nowa Aleksandria
Gilberto Gil / Jorge Ben - Ogum, Xangô
Bubu - Anabelas
CCCP Fedeli alla Linea - Affinità-divergenze fra il compagno Togliatti e noi: Del conseguimento della maggiore età
Marek Grechuta / Anawa - Korowód

There are half English but I believe are eligible:
Fishmans - 98.12.28 男達の別れ (98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare)
Fela Kuti - Shakara
Fela Kuti - Live!

And I'm pretty sure this one isn't eligible but I figured I'd check anyway:
Ravi Shankar - The Sounds of India

Nice nominees! You took a couple albums I was planning on nominating. Of the ones you had questions on, Fishmans should be fine. Ravi Shankar I think is entirely instrumental so not eligible unfortunately. I'll have to check on those Fela albums; his all English work, great as it is, isn't eligible so I'll check on the mix of languages on these.

I enjoyed listening to this album but it is primarily in English, so I'm going to remove it from the nominees. Some of the songs that switch between French and English would be eligible, though.

Back to Jackson, can I make another addition to my albums, namely Mėšlungis by Arklio Galia? The lyrics are supposed to be full of failed attempts at comedy but they're all in Lithuanian, so I can concentrate on the enthralling sax-driven noise of the music.

Great! It's a hodgepodge of styles and genres but ballads dominate. As with most, the lyrics will increase one's appreciation of most songs.

Replace Yuye yuve yu with this...

I'll be lost then apart from picking out the inevitable uses of the words 'cantik' and 'cinta' in the Indonesian ballads but I'm sure I'll like some of the melodies in the other Asian love songs!

PS. The "magnum opus" of swedish rock songs may be the single by Ebba Grön – "Staten & Kapitalet" from 1980 which is a cover of Blå Tåget's "Den Ena Handen Vet Vad Den Andra Gör" from 1972.

I've been doing my nominees in small batches in hopes that others will nominate some songs I like to free up more spots. So thank you for Ponta de Lanca Africano, Tropicala, and Chan Chan above. :D

These were both already nominated, so you can have two more.

Also, I never realized you were Swedish!

I'm sorry Jackson, but I'm really unsure how this is going to pan out.
There are A LOT of nominations, but most of them are generally known only by their nominator ? Or maybe I'm wrong saying that ? How are we meant to select amongst this whole lot ?

Thanks! I will. Into Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso for the moment so... I try to squeeze in a swedish song here and there but this thread was the "coming out"-party as a swede! :music-guitarred: I guess one is so tuned in to the music of your own language and that the lyrics become more important and it's easy not to catch up on that factor in foreign language music. Swedish songs above are a bit of a compromise between my own taste and what a music interrested swede in general would suggest. But above all, I'm into discovering great music in general so replacing the choices above is a priority as this "international" albums and songs thread project unfolds.

My thoughts exactly, time-consuming doesn't begin to cover it. I'll make time for this because it's such an exciting prospect discovering all this music at once but I can't imagine everyone will have the chance to.

I'll definitely make time for the songs, much less likely for albums.

I've come to think that we'll have to make a big pre-selection... maybe by taking only 5 songs at random in the 30 given by a forum member, or by asking the forum members to reduce their lists voluntarily. Otherwise, it will be complicated.

I'll leave a lot of time for Stage 2, and there won't be a minimum list size (for example you could just post your top 10 albums and I would count it). I don't expect anyone to actually listen to all of the nominees but rather to use the list as a reference point to discover new works they might find interesting. I've devoted a lot of listening time to this over the last month and I've only heard 67 of 294 nominated albums and 236 of the 473 nominated songs. I've accepted that I won't get to most of the albums, but I think I can hear all the songs at least once. I've made many discoveries so far that I doubt I would have found without this game, so it's already proved very useful.

By the way, does anyone want to help me out and make a Spotify playlist of the nominated songs?

That would be an awesome help!

I also added year and country info to all of the album and song nominees in my original post; hopefully that information is helpful for you all in determining what to listen to.

Just adding a small amount of Māori waiata (song) suggestions:

Songs:
Patea Maori Club | Poi E
Patea Maori Club | Ngoi Ngoi
Prince Tui Teka | E Ipo
Hayley Westenra | Pokarekare Ana (although lots of versions exist since it's a very popular folk song. I also like the Howard Morrison version)
Alien Weaponry | Kai Tangata

Albums:
Patea Maori Club | Poi E
Alien Weaponry | Tū

I set out to make a larger list and realised I don't actually know all that many songs in Te Reo Māori. In a great irony I may end up using this poll to dig more into my own country's music...

It's already very very cool to have Māori songs here. I think Jackson started this game for that kind of discovery (and at least that's what I personally expect). Thanks to you :-)

No time enough to send a long list but I've decided to participate with a list of 10 albums and 10 songs. I've limited myself to include only 3 Spanish albums per category. Most of the non-English albums and songs on my all time lists were already included and nominated by others but anyway here I go…



Albums:
1. JACQUES BREL "Olympia 64" (Belgium/France, French, 1964)
2. VINICIUS DE MORAES "Grabado en Buenos Aires con Maria Creuza y Toquinho" (Brazil/Argentina, Portuguese, 1970)
3. GORAN BREGOVIĆ "Music Inspired and Taken from Underground" (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romani/Serbian/Portuguese, 1995)
4. PATA NEGRA "Blues de la frontera" (Spain, Spanish, 1988)
5. WILLIE COLON & RUBEN BLADES "Siembra" (USA/Panama, Spanish, 1978)
6. SÍLVIA PÉREZ CRUZ / RAÜL FERNANDEZ MIRÓ "granada" (Spain, Catalan/Spanish/Portuguese/French/English/German, 2014)
7. FABRIZIO DE ANDRÉ "Creuza de mä" (Italy, Ligurian, 1984)
8. ROKIA TRAORÉ "Tchamantché" (Mali, Mambara/French/English, 2008)
9. LEYLA McCALLA "A Day for the Hunter, a Day for the Prey" (USA, English/French/Haitian Creole, 2015)
10. RADIO FUTURA " La canción de Juan Perro" (Spanish, Spain, 1987)




Songs:
1. CAMARÓN "Nana del caballo grande" (Spain, Spanish, 1979)
2. SISA "Qualsevol nit pot sortir el sol" (Spain, Catalan, 1975)
3. GORAN BREGOVIĆ "Mesečina" (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romani/Serbian, 1995)
4. RY COODER "A Canción Mixteca" (USA, Spanish, 1984)
5. LOTTE LENJA "Die Seeräuberjenny" (Germany, German, 1931)
6. GEORGES BRASSENS "La mauvaise réputation" (France, French, 1952)
7. KIKO VENENO "Echo de menos" (Spain, Spanish, 1992)
8. ROKIA TRAORÉ "Dounia" (Mali, Mambara, 2008)
9. PIZZICATO FIVE "トゥイギー・トゥイギー (Twiggy Twiggy)" (Japan, Japanese, 1991)
10. BRIAN ENO & DAVID BYRNE "Regiment" (UK/USA/Lebanon, Arabic, 1981)


Many thanks for hosting this game so wonderfully, Jackson, even if I have some complaints:
a) I would have preferred to include also instrumental songs as long as they were named in a non-English language and especially if they are included in "regional music" styles. I mean, most of the outstanding names I pointed out on this thread are (sadly) not eliegible for this game.
b) There are too many albums I haven't listened before and my spare tiem is too limited, I'm afraid I'll only be able to participate on the songs poll.

Here are the Spotify and YouTube playlists for Round 2! Any further picks will be added when Jackson includes them in his list in case their eligibility is contested. All songs in the Spotify list are in the same order as above; that doesn't apply to YT one but I have tried to use subtitled versions where possible. Please tell me if I've selected the wrong version of any of your nominations!

I think I can still nominate one album (because Novos Baianos had already been nominated).
I would like to nominate:

أم كلثوم [Umm Kulthum] | انت عمري [Inta Omri / Anta Oumri / Enta omri]

Just to be clear: These are three different transcriptions for the same title.
