hello, everybody at cpop! i love this community because it offers so many types of music... and i'm kinda bored right now... so i would like to ask which artists do you recommend? i pretty much understand a lot of the chinese music scene but could you maybe recommend some rock (but not indie) type of chinese music? i like the kind of unique strong

If you like A-Lin, try some of Dominique Tsai's first album

I'll also assume you're already familiar with Jay Chou, so I'll recommend those connected to him like Will Liu (first album only!) and hopefully, you're already familiar with Nan Quan Mama..? They do not have the strongest voices, but I think their sound might be close to what you're looking for... well, with Nan Quan Mama, it's only a few more alternative/pop-rock influenced tracks, (unfortunately) not all their music is of that style.

Oh and I second the recs for Mayday and A-Mei too

Kary Ng has some rock-influenced tracks on but nothing that compares to the awesomeness of when she was in Ping Pung

thanks for the great recommendations, but i don't think any of them are really what i'm looking for/my taste. dominique tsai has very good music, but i don't really like her voice. ): and will liu does not have the strongest voice. i know who nan quan mama is but the female lead singer has a very high/cutesy voice, and i do listen to them, but i don't think they have the rock type of music.

You might like their first album, "Nan Quan Mama's Summer," better, then. That was before Lara came into the band, and some of their earlier songs were more rockish, like "说你需要我" and "白色裂痕."
