Basic Background- I’m an English teacher at a university in Inner Mongolia. I’ve been roped into creating a music CD representative of Western culture- modern culture. Essentially, I need to make a collection of the most popular songs of the last few years in a variety of genres from a variety of different cultures.
Problem is, I:
1) have not been in an English speaking country for 5 years
2) am a complete nerd
I tried asking my students what they thought the hottest acts were and got:
“Backstreet boy”
“Roses and guns”
“Ricky Martin”
So I through myself on your mercy, please tell me who you’d recommend in the following categories. It really doesn’t matter when it was released, but newer stuff would be nice. Bad language is fine, as is adult content as they are all university students. USA, UK, NZ, AUS, India…all are welcome so long as the song is in English
Rock
Rap
Pop
Country
Folk (including Coffee house indie)
Reggae (Including Dance hall)
Club
Other
Most recommendations wins
