    Was in tower records afew years back in markati and they had a whole area full of dance and mainstream rock music and what have you most of it was British groups, singers or producers.
    I think a lot of the US link is due to the strong links with the US but many can't tell the difference between yanks and brits.

    I know my missus and her friends and younger family are amazed how much of what they watch and listen to is British they just presumed they are all Joes (yanks)
    Seen loads of rock bands in venues up in makati and around manila when out with the missus and her maties. But we mainly went to house and trance nights. Most of the bands do covers some very very good.

    Gotta say at Family videoake nights im amazed how phills who speak hardly a word of english can sing beatles mimicing so well that wonderful breed the scouser

    One of the manila stations my missus used to play, in the evenings used to play a lot of 80's music including some fo the bands you mention. By day they play more contempoary music and you guessed it mostly rnb.

    Okay here is the music scene in southern Visayas, read: all of the provincial Philippines.
    Brittish music , please not since 1970...
    american music, only the worst examples ,hip hop with obscene lyrics, and every old diva from Whitney houston to Mariah Carey.
    Filipino boy bands and suedo divas proliferate the contemporary scene.
    discos here don't even play good house and trance, (unlike Cebu or Manila), but everything must have a lyric, top 40 crap with a disco beat. Pussycat dolls et al, some brit stuff included in this Genre.
    young "hip" listen to old alternative as in creed, red hot chili pepers etc.,

    They do like reggae and ska here, and there are a few decent bands with original material.

    Blues, jazz, classic rock, heavy metal forget it.

    My background? anglophile of british blues and rock in the 60-70's
    a drummer of that era, we jam here once in a while, problem is all us musician expats come from different genres and generations. Makes it interesting
