Title: Favorite Non-Asian Artists


blue cat - February 15, 2007 10:16 AM (GMT)
Okay, we all know that everyone here must like/love Asian music of some form (Japanese/Korean/Chinese/etc.), esp. since this is a YUI forum. But, what are some Non-Asian music artists do you all like? Not just American, cuz British bands and artists from Europe are fine too!!

These days I most of the time only listen to Japanese music, but now and then I go back to listening to all my American music (since I have lots of it). Plus, I still keep up to date with what my favorite American artists are coming out with. And even though I'm so into the Japanese music scene (primarily the mainstream), I'll always still love American music cuz its the music that I grew up on.

I've been listening to Japanese music since my early years in high school (so that was at least over 6 years ago), but I reallllllly got into Japanese music about almost three years ago). But before all that, I was reallly into American music. I'm not as into non-Japanese music as much now but I still love and respect it, esp. since almost everyone in the world listens to it; American music, that is. ;)

So anyways, here are my favorite Non-ASIAN artists:

-LINKIN PARK (#1 favorite band of all time!!)
-Rage Against The Machine
-Audioslave
-Radiohead
-Red Hot Chili Peppers
-Metallica (more so their old stuff tho)
-Led Zeppelin
-Pink Floyd
-The Who
-The Clash
-U2
-Jimmy Hendrix
-Coldplay
-Dave Matthews Band
-Fort Minor
-Tiesto
-ATB
-Paul Oakenfold
-Moby
-New Found Glory
-Blink 182
-Green Day
-Angels and Airwaves
-Plus 44
-Foo Fighters
-Beastie Boys
-Incubus
-Gorillaz
-The Killers
-Handsome Boy Modeling School
-Smashing Pumpkins
-John Legend
-Augustana
-DJ Shadow
-Chemical Brothers
-Jurassic 5
-Outkast
-Depeche Mode
-Aqua Bats

^ omg someone who likes S Club 7. I used to listen to them ALL THE TIME when I was in gr7. Even to this day I still listen to "Dont Stop" and "S Club Party" on a daily basis. Actually that's one of the reasons how I got into asian music, Jolin Tsai made a cover of one of their song. Sadly I watched every episode of their tv series when it took place in Florida.
