Best Sounding Language

What do you mean by who cares ? Their are more people to care for these languages than the european languages you mentioned.

And correcting your knowledge of geography, even Chinese & Japanese languages fall within the geographical entity known as Asia.

If you want a bad thing about italian, the man sound like if he always talk joking, in fact, the spanish always laugh when they hear talk italian.

But i agree if you want one or two candidates to the first place

I would vote Italian.
Greek sound the same like Spanish.Romanian too.(no "musical" accent)
French is the best for a woman.
Arabian is interesting too.
Turkish doesnt have "colour" in the accent and the sounds are quiet harsh.
Chinese sound to me like a can falling of the stairs (dont consider this an insult! :)
Japanese is quiet interesting,although in Kurosava's films ,is like swearing even when they say the most tender phrases.
English (british) is so..aristocratic.
American is .."usual" -by films and so on.

Originally posted by Ikki .. For me isn't bad or rude, but cold. But contrary of you, i think that the english is better for sing, at least modern music, at the moment that this idiom is direct, i don't know which is the word... you know that we spanish speakers need a lot of more words than the anglo speakers when we want to say the same thing, so our phrases lose power. Of course we get other advantages (expresivity, variety of emotions, accuracy...) but for the music is very important short sentences with force. Curiously, this don't rule for the metal music, because our friends think that the spanish heavy is strongest than the english Like i said before, the proof is the succes of many spanish hard rock or heavy metal groups in Europe.
