[edit] Rock in China

Hi, I'm Azchael of www.rockinchina.com and we have written an extensive history of Chinese rock music using information from across the web and several books surplus interviews. We are interested in collaborating with Wikipedia :).

Rock on!!!

[edit] New section

Can somebody distill this sentence from the opening paragraph down to something more clear. The sentence is at best ambiguous.

• "But the essential nature of rock and roll music is that of attitude and lifestyle, which sees no borders or ethnic identity; therefore, "Chinese rock music" is in simplest terms, Chinese music with modern orchestration (with or without traditional Chinese musical instruments), exemplfied by attitude and lifestyle not compliant to mainstream market and state-approved entertainment."

[edit] title

Why is this here instead of at Chinese rock? Tuf-Kat 20:39, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] article out of date

Rock is making a comeback in mainland China in the 2000's. This article is out of date and seems to end in 1994.

[edit] "Chinese rock" vs. "Chinese Rock (genre)"

There's NO way that it should be titled Chinese rock. Nothing is reasonable to call it, even when it's considered a "standard" naming. I created disambiguation page and tried to move it into Chinese Rock (genre). What's wrong with moving into Chinese Rock (genre)"? --Gh87 05:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

What's so bad about keeping it as "Chinese rock"? Why does it need to be moved to "Chinese rock (genre)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lily1104 (talk • contribs) 12:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Chinese rock bands" listing should not include "Taiwanese" and "Hong Kong" bands.

[edit] Kaiser Kuo

Kaiser Kuo is listed as a solo artist. What work has he done as a solo artist?81.157.63.47 (talk) 12:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I've removed him from the list as he is known as a member of Tang Chao, not a solo artist. According to http://www.yaogun.com/artist/tangchao/member/kaiserkuo.htm his solo output consists of one track on a Zhang Ju tribute album.217.43.227.121 (talk) 11:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Year

Surely, the Northwest Wind of rock/punk music started much earlier than 1985...it only became well-known in the 1980s, but has existed since the 1970s. Lily1104 (talk) 12:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I believe this to be possible, but can you find a source? Poeloq (talk) 13:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
