The famous English artist(6)

Today I introduce "Pink Floyd".

Pink Floyd is very famous band group. Their music is philosofical and political, and called progressive rock and many people are attructed by their songs. Progressive rock is that does not follow convensional ideas such as using the electric guitar or the electric bass. Pink Floyd sometime uses classical music or jazz music's elements. Progressive rock is demanded to have very good techniques and a sense of music so it is few artist which becomes famous in this music type. For instance, the famous music artist King Crimson or Yes are called progressive rock artists and they have amazingly good music tastes.

Pink Floyd isn't famous in Japan because they hate to be open to mass-media. But I hope they became more popular and be listened their songs by more people in Japan.

The famous English artist(5)

Today, I introduce "Arctic monkeys".

Arctic monkeys is the best band group which debut in 2004. Their songs are so cool and passionately that they are soon became famous however they were only 19 to 21 years old. People called them "the returning of Oasis" or "the returning of THE STROKES" and are the focus of not only public people but also many artists' attention. So they often critisized by many people; sometimes it is a famous artist.

But they fight against the pressure and now, their music are listened by so many people.
