Damn, I really need to check out this thread more often and get myself educated.
I've personally had a bad impression regarding the term "OPM" due to my family tending to favor a lot of the softer and older-sounding pop acts (though [noembed]
[/noembed] always made me and my cousins laugh a lot when we were kids), but I know I can shake that if I stopped being so lazy about Pinoy music. I've heard a little bit of Filipino hip hop and hip hop-styled music over the years, but never really followed through in my research.
Andrew E. is pretty much the first name that comes to mind for me, and that's only because I was living in the Philippines for a while when he made his debut (even bought his first album on cassette back then).
And there's this song that's been hiding in my MP3 collection for years...
As for rock, I tend to be picky about that kind of music, but I'll definitely try to pay attention to Ode to La Luna from here on out.
And I just found out through this thread that Francis M. died last year. That sucks...one of many that I never checked out but now need to.
she's either small or Oprah is really HUGE
Can't it be both?
