Favorite non-eurobeat artist/band

[Bore]

This was something I was meaning to ask like months ago, but for some reason in the end forgot. Anyways, outside of eurobeat (& such genres) what would be your favorite artist?

I'd have to list a few names:

Blümchen
Ace Of Base
Savage Garden/Darren Hayes
Nylon Beat

I think that's about it, all of the other titles should be at least somewhat known to people but Nylon Beat might be an enigma, as it's a Finnish girl-duo that was really popular over here, but they already sacked things up and split.

[Nine]

Outside of Eurobeat, I just really listen to Hitomi Yaida. XD I do listen to the Spice Girls on occasion, but I wouldn't say they're a favorite of mine. ;

[Chico Chico]

hmmmm... outside of eurobeat I'd have to say....

ABBA
Cher
Christina Aguilera
Cat Stevens
Queen
Mindless Self Indulgence


I have many favs I guess ;

[Chan Ho Nam]

Outside of Eurobeat....I listen to Jpop mostly though I don't have a specific favourite artist anymore. I suppose Namie Amuro is the one I listen to more than the others.

[riikou]

Hmmm... for me it would have to be:

The Vengaboys
Ian Van Dahl
Rammstien
Love Inc.
Scooter
SMiLE.dk
Hampton & The Hampsters
Blink 182
Wildside
Daft Punk

[Bacchi]

I enjoy Aqua, Kosaka Riyu/BeForU, Hayashibara Megumi, Excel Girls, Jenny Rom/The Zippers, SMiLE.dk, Yonekura Chihiro, Judy Crystal, Okui Masami, Ishida Yoko, The Pillows, and Wada Kouji... eh, I may be missing or forgetting a few, but this is just a small list for now. *^ ^;*

Me likes the usual crop of k-pop/j-pop... but at the mo my favourite band is probably Franz Ferdinand... into Basement Jaxx, No Doubt... too many to mention ; and Hindi/Punjabi beats.

I like an italian singer named Elisa. She sings in italian but also in english. Her last song is in english...
She plays rock and she has a great voice!! COOL!!!

[Takarou]

Besides Eurobeat, I do the J-pop thing (W-inds, Porno Graffiti, Sakamoto Maaya, Garnet Crow, Kuraki Mai), and I listen to a small amount of French pop (Jenifer, Helene Segara), and I listen to music by Alih Jey.

All kinds of dancemusic (eurodance, trance [all sorts], dancemania,pop etc.).
Master Blaster is one of my favorites.
JPop is very close to my heart too, Minami Kuribayashi, Move, Dream, I'Ve grew, T.M. Revolution, Musume (all hello project groups), Hamasaki and so on.. i'll just stop here

[KitsuneStar]

Mostly a lot of Trance and UK Hardhouse here, with the usual assortment of 90s rock (Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Soundgarden) thrown in for good measure.

Though I was raised on progressive rock (King Crimson, Yes, Rush) and Frank Zappa, so I'm all over the place

Yuzo Koshiro. He composed the soundtrack for Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, and did a really good job on it. Namco's provided free MP3's of the soundtrack here: http://www.namco.co.jp/aa/am/vg/wanganm ... pecial.php

(I'd still buy the WMMT2 OST though, it's got songs from MT2 and different-sounding versions of the MT1 songs.)
