Huh?? i dont think im up to it man.......

there's a lot of people who mainly play rock over here, probably because of the fact we all play some form of instrument that is usually associated to rock. although guitars and keys and drums are also used in pop, meh. people associate them to rock

[theliverevolution]

the only chinese band i appreciate is F.I.R... the rest of the singers are all aliens to me

(i suck at chinese. i got a F9 for 4 consecutive years in secondary school before i scrapped pass with a D7 for O levels

meh)

well, to me, beyond raised the bar for canto rock.
back when he was alive, and the whole group were together

I never like the present day Mando pop. All the songs sound too alike for me, and they are mostly soapy boring ballads. If they are fast number songs, chances they are Mandarin cover versions of popular English pop songs. Maybe it's also due to the many many years of force-fed Speak Mandarin propaganda (er...campaign) that became so detestable.

But I like Canto pop of the 70's and early 80's. These retro classics sounds very cool nowadays, especially the upbeat ones. The likes of The Wynners (Alan Tam, Kenny Bee), Sally Yeh, Roman Tam, Samuel Hui, Paula Tsui, Danny Chan, etc.........

Never liked em, either too sappy or too upbeat, without the slightest hint of rebellion

hi guys

i think growing up in a chinese speaking environment i grew up listening to chinese stuff.... to me heavy metal and some rock music i really cannot understand.....haha but i do like jazzy or R&B stuff........ can a five piece band do R&B?? Any body forming canto band around here??

 

[Chenglehung]

any1 like josh groban songs?

 

[LadyInTears]

well hydrofly, hear beyond, most are politically critical songs about the plight of the less fortunate.. sad that before their international career took off, their lead singer died,from a fall at a stupid Japanese game show

 

[billthegeek]

Beyond was probably the first and the last good rock band in the chinese scene...
