Granted, it is all subjective, I get it.

One of mine, to start, is....Ava Adore, The Smashing Pumpkins

This was big in England but underrated in the U.S...

Deserter's Songs ~ Mercury Rev (1998)

I just saw this (bluegrass fusion?) group I'd never heard of before on Jimmy Fallon tonight, and they performed this song impressively ...

I have used songs in class before, being a music teacher as well as an eSL teacher. I am wondering what songs I could use in class for Korean students once I start my job. it will be an adult language school. I could also do Korean traditional music but I don't know anything about it. Do they even have their own traditional music? Laughing

I think Horsewit by the Shell Shuckers is the most underrated album of the last twenty years. Not only does it not actually exist, but great albums in general have ceased to exist.

You should have posted this either in the "Job Related" or "General" forums.

That said, I'd recommend doing song cloze exercises using popular western music (e.g. The Beatles) along with some contemporary Korean/K-Pop music (e.g. Girls Generation ...) If you check out the music section of large book stores like Kyobo books, you'll see that Koreans appreciate all types of western music as well as traditional Korean music ...

is there a book with cloze exercises using pop songs? Or do I have to make my own cloze exercises?

I found this website http://www.kpoplyrics.net/ikon-wyd-lyrics-english-romanized.html

but it would be a lot of hard work printing off the lyrics, rubbing out thr words for the cloze exercise and then printing the finished cloze. There wouldn't be a lot of time to prepare it all with 4 1.5 hour classes a day.

Aren;t there already made modern clozes or other exercises you can get? Laughing Cool

When I was in Korea, I bought an "Edutainment" packet made by EFL teachers in Japan that included cloze sheets and a CD/cassette tape of songs that they thought were especially good for teaching. It included songs by the Beatles, Animals, Hollies ("Bus Stop") and Carpenters (noting Karen's clear enunciation). Evidently, you can still get it ...

Well, maybe not - those links seem to be outdated ...

This might work - https://www.amazon.com/Edutainment-How-Teach-Language-Games/dp/0958649200?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=nosim&tag=edutaihowtoteachA

Another great resource that has karaoke vids is EFL Classroom 2.0
