I am trying to do sort of a Korean culture immersion to assist my efforts to learn the language and I don't have ANY Korean music.

Any genre is fine.. Pop, hiphop, rock, metal, electronic I don't care. If you think it is good music and it is from Korea than please post here with a description of what it is like.

Please do not turn the replies into a flamewar about what is good and what is not. Please do not suggest non-Korean music, go do that in your own blog.

THANKS! CROWDSOURCE GO!

Slight derailment but, do people want to immerse themselves in the Korean culture because the best Starcraft players are Korean, and they think that it makes them cool by association; or is it because of Starcraft, they learn about the Korean culture and realize how great (whether it is or not) it is?

Here is a thread that was pretty much copied+pasted listing all the Korean metal bands. I'm pretty sure that some of them will be pretty hard to get ahold of, but Necramyth is pretty good if you're into that kind of thing (Black Metal). The Crescents are also pretty good IMO.

Why not? I just listen to anything that's good, whether it is chinese, korean, swedish, american etc... doesn't really matter. Maybe people just want to explore new things because it is interesting?

I'll recommend some bands soon I just gotta decide on the best ones.

Hollow Jan (Screamo/Hardcore/Post-Rock)
[image loading]

Really good Korean band that won last years Korean Rock Album of the Year award.
Post-rock elements bound together with a screaming voice.



we got underwear and lots of girls (Post-Rock)
[image loading]

Despite the somewhat hilarious and bizarre name this is one of the few korean post-rock bands that exist. They really have a unique sound if you actually listen to it carefully.



MOT (Rock/Indie/Alternative)
[image loading]

Great Korean alternative rock band which has a really cool sound, really feels like drifting away.



That was all, might fill up the list more later but it's pretty tedious to give out the same recommendations in every thread about korean music. (which is why I gave two new ones this time)

Thanks for the suggestions so far, some of you are putting a lot of effort into your posts and I do appreciate it very much!

As said in my OP, I am learning the language and cultural immersion is helpful to that. Getting used to hearing korean words, how sounds are said, where pauses are, the tone of voice in situations, inflections, etc etc. In general by watching Korean TV/Movies and listening to Korean Music I can help myself learn to talk in Korean rather than only learning how to sound like an American reading Korean words off a page.

Beside the point, does it seem odd to you that people would be interested in learning about and experiencing another countries culture? I like british comedies, japanese animes, indian music videos.. There is a whole world out there and it is pretty interesting ^_^

Keit great picks. I especially liked "we got underwear and lots of girls" which ironically is going to do nothing to help with language learning due to the lack of lyrics.. But always good to learn about new good music. I will search for your other posts, sorry about not searching first.. I get lazy with blogs

Haha, yeah tbh I kinda skimmed through the topic, and once my post was done and posted I looked back and saw you wanted it for language training so I kinda had to facepalm myself.

Here's the link to my old blog btw, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=83672
kinda same layout as my post and theres some other good bands mentioned by other people further in the thread there.

http://www.goear.com/listen.php?v=2d61b52

wo ri nal da - cherry filter

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=gv_De51hcj8
Lee Jung Hyun - Wa and Bakkwo

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=1RTl3HXK_NI
Epik High - Love Love Love

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=WNnkbwFo9hU
Epik High - One

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=G44fi-bAUhU
Epik High - Paris

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BDZIY-TwF4U
SES - U

Some famous songs (some of them are favorites and some are not, but they are famous/popular for a reason, so good chance you really like some of them)

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=EC7yS0kpHWM
Seo Taiji - Nan Arayo - widely credited with starting modern kpop. This performance can really be traced as the genesis

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=8E86BpNK1Gk
DJ Doc - Run to You - This song is always, always getting covered

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=60U_Bx_al9Y
Turbo - December - Blends Kim Jong Kook's high vocals with rap

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=iFlfCjpI_kU - I'm your girl (debut single I think)
by SES - who were huge. HUGE. Their rivals were fin.k.l but I dont like any of those songs

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=K7W9HX4ndIk
H.O.T - Candy - maybe the biggest band in kpop history. Candy is there most internationally famous song I think. If you dont like this song, some of the other songs sound quite different.

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy_Cc9P32sc
BoA + DBSK + the Trax - TRI-ANGLE - DBSK and BoA are both very big names, and this is a good collaboration

I still left out all the groups I dont really like, even if they were famous. I also left out some I'm too lazy to include
