I think the same when it comes to Russian, French, and Greek.

Turkish definitely. I like the language but I prefer listening to it when it's sung.

I used to dislike French songs and enjoyed spoken French. I think you just have to get used to it. Maybe you haven't listened to a good Portuguese singer (I can't give you names, because I'm not a fan of Brazilian music). When I wanted to listen to some French I asked on Yahoo answers and I didn't like any of the singers. But then, I came across Stromae and Alizee on Youtube and I like them very much now.
I'm not a fan of spoken Italian and spoken Spanish, but sometimes I catch myself singing songs in those languages. I think it's easier to prefer songs instead of the spoken language. Songs are supposed to rhyme and to have a nice melody/beat, maybe that's the reason. I have friends who didn't like the German language until they listened to Rammstein. Some of them even started studying it after that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Welsh, definatly. Cwm Rhondda is one of my favorite songs, sung in Welsh it is beautiful. For those who don't know, in English it's commonly known as "Bread of Heaven" but it's real name is "Rhondda's Valley".

I adore dutch songs. As for spoken dutch - a lot depends on an accent - some of them sound very nice though in other ones those "G" are a bit too strong.
