Okay, so looking for really good KPOP

[primavera♥]

now my best friend kinda really loves kpop and i told her id be willing to go deeper into it and try more.

she gave me a lits of musicians i already know but just am too lazy to listen to in depth. (and she left and i ant speak to her for just some days)

soo could anyone suggest any good songs from these artists. ive heard and tried a couple from each. but not sure whats considered their best.



(well i deleted the artists list here) - just give whoever u like lol.

(and any kpop that doesnt sound like too western pop music would be nice too - i love those musician types)

anyway ^____^ thanks is anyone does read this thing and help

[pommy48]

I really only listen to Abracadabra from BEG ♥

I suggest you try out Epik High (One is an amazing song *o*)

[primavera♥]

^ ah ive heard oh Epic high and i think One is the song i heard. that was one amazing song as far as i can call

and thank you i will check that out. ^___^

edit: i liked it quite a bit until the chorus. the chorus probably just has to grow on me (im hard to please arent i? *sighs*) ^___^ thanks. its fine.

[hearted]

^omg yes epik high is really really good they also have a song with emi hinouchi called Flow

dbsk:



lee jung hyun (not in your list, but an amaaaazing and original artist)



you should really try these out! i'll come back later for more from other artists

[noisy_harmony]

I love you for liking 2AM. Maybe you should check their "mates", 2PM?

I personally recommend:
SNSD/Girls' Generation - YES. they're not as sugary and cute as everyone thinks, they are talented. You should listen to Oh! album and Run Devil Run at first.
Gummy - that woman has amazing voice, must listen! her last mini Loveless is perfect.
Wonder Girls - Nobody was a huge hit in Korea, nothing shocking, that song is so addictive! and not in western pop style
F.T Island and C.N.Blue - most famous rock/indie bands. They make great music!
BoA - of course if you don't know her...
SHINee - they stand out from other boybands! IMO. xD and their music is refreshing and a bit different from typical k-pop IMO.
f(x) - only because I'm biased. xD and they were called female version of SHINee... at least you'll love Amber.
Brown Eyed Girls - as Pommy said, Abracadabra... I add Sign to must-listen songs.
Lee Jung Hyun - her old techno works are korean classics. You also have to listen to her latest mini, with Suspicious Man!
Rain (Bi) - at least to know with who Hyori is paired in korean/international fandom. anyway, every main song (which is performed) in his career is so damn catchy. Don't worry if listening to them will make you feel horny, everybody do AND HE'S SEX ON LEGS TOTALLY
Big Bang - to check how one of the most popular boybands sounds. And because of G-Dragon you mentioned!
Younha - she's different from other female solo artists... she's like korean YUI/miwa/Mao Abe/put whoever you want. hella talented.
Davichi - girl duo, they have amazing voices! <3
Epik High and Outsider - most known hip hop artistes.

that's all, others will help with the rest, I'm sure

Lee Jung Hyun: omg LOVE the first one. and awesome mv. this is a song i can listen to again ^___^ i adore . . .as for Suspicious Man i dont like as much. but i still think its very good. . .i really just like the musical style a lot too. so yeah. now ill be listening to her

[primavera♥]

@flying proud:

yeah i know i must really listen to rain. . .and oh i didnt say i liked 2am i just know that theyre kinda popular so i was putting in that list for examples. its my best friend whos adores them lol
so i will check some of these outs and reports backs ^___^ and ah indie rock here too. ill see that too <3
and what u were doing first is what i really want. sorry to make u go through the trouble

[noisy_harmony]

^ yes, yes, I just didn't read your first post well, sorry. xD I you don't want to find whole discographies of all these artists by yourself, I can pick several songs if you want.

[hearted]

yay im so happy that you love the songs!! or... the lee jung hyun songs XD she used to be really popular but now she is so underrated you should listen to Bakkwo, Michyeo and... then you should download all her albums XD especially her second one, Peace, which is a freakin MASTERPIECE

[primavera♥]

@flying proud: with BoA of course im good but with Rain ive found random songs i liked. could i hear ur suggestions. and i got ur SNSD ones. and ill check out Younha and C.N.Blue Next. thank yous~ (and yeah i just tried to make the first post less confusing lol)

@hearted: haha~ well dbsk is just okay to me. . . .but okay thank you and i will definitely listen to that from her. underrated? not cool. shes amazing to me with only hearing 2 songs lol

[noisy_harmony]

If we talk about Rain... I can think only about these cause I haven't heard all albums from him ^^
Rainism
Love Song
Hip Song
I'm Coming
It's raining
all were promoted as I said. Probably you've heard some of them, so listen to the rest!

With DBSK, try again! there must be something you'll love xD of course I don't force you.

[primavera♥]

^ lol thanks

and ahh~~~ theres always something from an artist i absolutely love. so well see eventually XD ill try again soon. (it may be hard as im not completely for boy bands. when i see so many guys id rather them be a rock band lol. im sure ill develop a heavy fandom for dbsk like i do all my j-rockers soon enough when i find more songs ) noo worries


---------------------------

~~hmm this is all really quite fun. getting into kpop. and on the other side getting into 80s music at the same time (weird contrast)
just trying to expand my musical horizons (that doesnt make sense either does it)

[hearted]

^^lol im glad you could recognize her epic! you should also try IU, she is still pretty new but this song is just...WAUW


oh and i agree with flying, give dbsk another change i used to think they were eh just okay, but now i loooooooooooove them so freakin much and powtjawiogtwi they are just LOVE

[love in music]

Most k-pop sounds like western music tbh, but it doesn't mean it's bad.

SNSD is one of the most popular and talented girl groups in Korea, and they have some really amazing songs, for example:



Hyori lee has a really nice voice, the people she works with plagiarize songs left and right, but she still has a nice voice imo:


Wonder girls are probably the least talented girl group in Korea, but they do have a few catchy songs that I'd recommend:




4minute - they release VERY catchy songs.


KARA releases really catchy stuff too:

[noisy_harmony]

I know what you'll love from DBSK! TRI-ANGLE It has rock part and members look like from visual kei or something I'm laughing because it was image that fans are trying to forget but it can be forgiven, it's so old...

[primavera♥]

^ see that image and sound would be perfect for me haha~ ill go see

@hearted: why does that song remind me of something. anywayz its beautiful. very lovely. ill remember her. and . . .yes yes shes amazing

and okay okay you two. i going to give them more chances lol ^__~

@identity: ill get to that soon too. thanks~~~`

[ownsarai]

The ones I like are older ones, haha
Lee Jung Hyun
Shinwa
H.O.T
^Those are my top 3 Korean bands.

[primavera♥]

@ownsarai: thankies! i already like Lee now and so i will check the otehrs out to. . .oh so much to listen to now haha

@ flying proud: in tri-angle. it was only disturbing because they clearly were ripping off of v-kei or something and just not pulling it off. and whoever had spiky hair was a no-no XD. they better be careful next time or ill feel offended (jk not really). anyway i laughed because i though jaejoong looked like one of my fav jrockers from An Cafe O.O

Spoiler:

. . . although it may not show in this pic ive seen him enough to make an awkward comparison XD

anyway i did LOVE the song (somewhat)

[noisy_harmony]

^ don't worry, it's old song, they haven't done anything like this after and won't do xD I'm glad you loved it though

@ownsarai: wow, you're listening only to legends I have to try HOT and Shinhwa someday.

[JackieRos]

have you tried After School
they are really good I love their Bang! single and Because of you single
