i always thought all chinese songs were written by 2 or 3 songwriters who keep rehashing the same thing over and over again... those i see all sound the same and worse, the singers look the same too!
English songs seem to have a larger variety.. from lots of genres to those you cannot even begin to classify...
and not all about "love" too...

i know.. but chinese songs almost all sound the same..
english songs...
sweet simple melodies like John Denver singing about his love in Perhaps Love...
slow sombre songs by Lou Reed about the darker side of life in Walk on the Wild Side..
the chirpy sounds of Katrina and the Waves (as seen on M1 ads) about Walking on Sunshine
dark, brooding and intense songs of self-doubt and self-destruction by Nine Inch Nails in Hurt (and interpreted and brought to another level by the late Johnny Cash)
the mayhem and violence in songs by Pantera in 5 Minutes Alone
songs of hope and wonder at the beauty of the times in Scott McKenzie's San Francisco
the power and charisma writing about the common man in Eddie Vedder's Pearl Jam with all their songs.. especially songs like Evenflow and Jeremy
the hedonism of The Doors' Light My Fire
the quiet simplicity of loss faced with dignity and hope in Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now
the mind-bending sounds of a Stratocaster by Jimi Hendrix's Foxy Lady
the pain of forbidden love in Eric Clapton's Layla
the wonderful voice of Ella Fitzgerald singing Gershwin's Someone to Watch Over Me
the raw ferocity and feral power of Guns N' Roses with Nice Boys
the sheer originality of Jane's Addiction's Been Caught Stealing
and more!
so much variety, so much creativity, so different, yet so listenable
chinese music seems so bland beside these.. and so 1-dimensional...
my 2 bits' worth
