What music are you in to?

At the Wednesday and Thursday classes last week, we talked about different genres of music. There are many different styles and each of us has our own tastes. Although I like most kinds of music, here are some artists that I like and recommend if you don't already know them.

Queen http://www.queenonline.com/home (rock) **My all-time favorite band

Ladyhawke http://www.ladyhawkemusic.com/ (synthpop, indie rock) fresh music from New Zealand with an 80's pop flavor

Sting http://www.sting.com/ (pop, rock, adult contemporary) great voice from the UK

The Killers http://www.thekillersmusic.com/ (alternative rock) UK sound from Las Vegas

Concrete Blond http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_blond (alternative rock) nostalgia from the 80s and 90s

Joe Satriani http://www.satriani.com (guitar rock) one of the best guitarists ever. One of his recent tracks is used as the theme for カンブリヤ宮殿 on Monday nights, 10pm on TV Aichi

Split Enz http://www.frenz.com/splitenz/index.html (pop, new wave) New Zealand's best band ever - and the Finn brothers came from my hometown!

Crowded House http://www.crowdedhouse.com/s_home/index.php (pop rock) Formed by Splitz Enz leading members after the band split in 1984. Probably New Zealand's most well-known band overseas

I could go on, but there are too many.

Here is a link to a list of radio stations in New Zealand. The listing under Format/Comments tells you what kind of station it is. You should be able to find one that's cool. Good chance to practise listening to some 'real' English, too.

Keep on rockin'!!!!!
