Moderation
Mode - Most frequent
Ration - Restricted amount

I'm sure this is the correct answer but, how do you get most frequent = Mode ?

Averages - think of Mean, Mode and Median.

I know there have been numerous music threads but I had a thought. What music do you enjoy from a language that isn't your first? My first language is English, followed by grade-school Japanese (ohayou), and very sparse Tagalog (magandang araw). Recently I ran into the band Man With A Mission and really love the intertwining of English and Japanese through the songs The Perfect World[^] (from the anime B the Beginning), My Hero[^] (from the anime Inuyashiki), and an original The Anthem[^].
EDIT: Links and grammar.
EDIT2: Reworded for clarity.

J.S. Bach - in particular the St Matthew Passion and strangely enough, or maybe not, I do not consider myself to be a Christian.

I adore classical music including Bach. It reminds me of modern composers of that calibre such as Kashiwa Daisuke - April #02[^], which is an extraordinary (imo) composition utilizing lack of sound as an instrument to itself (skip to 20m[^] if you aren't a fan of 30m classical songs).
EDIT: Fixed the 20m url, lol.

As it was written by subjects of the UK, I'll claim their language isn't my first language.
"The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill"
Not my favorite or particularly good - except the lyrics really impacted me/my diet/more to this very day and beyond.

Probably Arabic (or middle-eastern) "sounding" music and east European Jewish (Klezmer) "sounding" music.
It's not about the language itself, but the musicality of the music; how it has an emotional reverberation with me.
I'd rather be phishing!

If you have not done so already I would recommend checking out Marcel Khalife.
He has done some great arrangements of Arabic music.

Maybe not "personally influential" (I'm not even sure what that means), but lately my guilty pleasure would have to be Japan's Ayumi Hamasaki. She must be doing something right considering she's sold over 50 million albums and she's barely known outside of Asia.
Although my understanding is that she's not considered to be J-Pop in the same sense that, say, Shania Twain is not considered country.
I can't understand a word, but she's got some catchy tunes and a discography the size of which would make most north-American artists look like lazy bums.

Yea, I re-worded that. When I originally wrote it I was thinking of artists like E Nomine, Megaherz, Ayumi Hamasaki, Maximum the Hormone, etc which for me really got me interested not only in different music but different languages. But really I'm just curious what people like even though they might not understand it all.
I like Ayumi, haven't heard more recent stuff, but Moments[^] is still a great track.

What are the odds that some random guy on CP asking about music in other languages happens to also know of her...
Mid- to late 00's has some of her best material, even though some hate her newer stuff - personally, I like it all. I've also tried "expanding my horizons", so to speak, on the Japanese market, and Namie Amuro and Koda Kumi are also worthy of mention.
In a completely different genre...I'm also a fan of Pavarotti. Still can't understand a word, but with a voice like that, who cares about the lyrics?

I don't believe I've heard any Pavarotti. I'll have to check that out. I like E Nomine even though I don't speak a lick of German or Latin. They sound so unlike any other band and I just keep coming back.

Apparently pretty good. I ran into her about a decade ago when I started getting into anime. I haven't heard Namie Amuro or Koda Kumi though.
