Comments on: Chosun Ilbo’s top K-pop of the year http://londonkoreanlinks.net/2006/12/23/top-kpop-of-2006/ English language resources for Londoners (and others) interested in Korean culture Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:52:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Anna http://londonkoreanlinks.net/2006/12/23/top-kpop-of-2006/#comment-25343 Anna Sat, 23 Dec 2006 15:43:51 +0000 http://londonkoreanlinks.net/2006/12/23/top-kpop-of-2006/#comment-25343 This year I think EPs have been more interesting than albums. Of those, Cuzky - Romance and YeonGene & BMX Bandits - saveoursmiles (Scottish band BMX Bandits really liked the vocalist of Linus' Blanket and thus decided to write a few songs for her - very cute) were no doubt the best to come out of Korea. As for albums, my favorite would be Elena - Say Hello To Every Summer. Park Hye Kyung's 6th - Yesterday, adultchild - B TL B TL, YeonGene - Me & My Burt (Burt Bacharach covers, produced by Duglas of BMX Bandits) and Cloud Cuckoo Land's 1st all compete for second best. Best remake album of the year: N.EX.T - ReGame? "New" N.EX.T remakes "old" N.EX.T/Shin Hae Chul songs. Best compilation: Cracker OST. For more Pastel Music goodness ^^ I'm probably missing some since I haven't got access to my music collection right now though... This year I think EPs have been more interesting than albums.
