Music....something which I listen everyday. Seems to be part of my life. As the saying goes, "Music soothes even the savage beast" Hehehe well I am not a savage beast, mind you =P. Generally I listen to many different kinds of music. Pop, Rock, Grunge, Cantopop, Alternatives, Japanese, Chinese....etc. Cantopop and alternatives are 2 kinds which I love very much.
Well...Cantopop are originated from HongKong. So they are all sung in
cantonese (The language widely spoken in HongKong). Also, I am a cantonese
myself. Ok, there are alot of singers and bands in HongKong. I do like
some of them, although the music in Hong Kong is very commercialized. Well, my favourite singers are
Hacken Lee,
Sammi Cheng (that's her on the left),
Jacky Cheng,
Alan Tam,
Faye Wong,
Kelly Chan
and the band BEYOND (below). Still got many more. More than my fingers and toes could count.
=)...heheh
Hmm...I think it's better to catagorize all Rock, R&Bs, Jazz, Grunge...etc
as English music. So well, as I have said earlier that I like alternatives
very much and favourite bands are
Green Day,
Oasis,
Beatles (Hey, they are
not alternatives musicians, but I like them),
Pearl Jam
,
Lightning Seeds, Nirvana (oh so sad that Kurt Cobain had left us),
Gin Blossoms, U2,
London Suede,
Ash (new Irish band that's doing very well in UK)
...etc.
