wushijiao Posted October 15, 2007 at 05:09 PM Report Posted October 15, 2007 at 05:09 PM Is Elvis's music Rockabilly? In part. But the Cat King was so much more. By the way, below is a great NPR overview of Rockabilly, which I will take the liberty as translating as 罗克阿比尔梨音乐。 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=15184887 Quote
Ari 桑 Posted October 18, 2007 at 04:07 AM Report Posted October 18, 2007 at 04:07 AM As for you guys talking about rock in china, theres plenty plenty plenty of great rock in china right now. And I would say that where it may lack in quantity compared to japan, in by and large definitely surpasses in quality. I have been to a decent number of shows in beijing, all of which have had at least two or more great bands. The Modern Sky record label has lots of great stuff. Most of china's rock that I listen to is more indie. As for punk and metal, I'm not sure how the scene is. But there is definitely a good amount of artsy indie stuff thats just fantastic. Two of my favorites are 周先生 and 木马。 Quote
madizi Posted November 18, 2007 at 12:32 AM Report Posted November 18, 2007 at 12:32 AM The Chinese are used to listening to sugary pop music, which are similar to pre-1960 rock era ballads in the West. It's too much of a leap to go from pop ballads to punk or death metal. So, does that mean that wild 60s are coming to China? With sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll? Quote
