You have gotten to be kiddin' right? Makes my ears bleed and I will never refer to that stuff as "music."

[Burndog]

Ignoring the troll....I would add Big Bang Haru Haru to the list...and Epik High...two songs...One and Umbrella.

I would remove Goship Girl...and Bo Peep and Marshmallow!

SNSD is about the only thing decent, and mostly it's because of the hot Korean women.

[redaxe]

None of the above.

My favorite K-pop song is:
T-Ara (티아라) & Supernova (초신성) - T.T.L (Time To Love)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZfH7QwSi1I

It's got a good catchy melody and the lyrics actually make sense (i.e. no retarded Konglish). It's about fondly remembering and missing your first love.

I like MC Sniper, BK Love is good.

I don't know why but this one really hits me.... by Nell , a group most should get familiar with along with Jaurim.

I like Asoto Union: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuYMNPOglJc

A few months ago I loved SNSD's Genie, then I moved onto Kara's Mister and their butt dance, and now I'm liking T-ara's Like the First Time.

Something about the girl groups in this country...

[Jeunesse]

I like "Rainism" by Rain and that "Ring Ding Dong" song cracks me up.

[Jeunesse]

Oh and that "Gossip Girl" is like nails on a chalkboard to me! What's with the lisp! It sounds like "GOSSHIP GUHHHL."

[Gaber]

Don't generally listen to it, but "Ice cream" by MC Mong will always have a place in my heart : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYhLfJtjelg The videoclip is surprisingly awesome too.
When I was working kindy hakwon back in 2006 we had an end of year pageant and one of the Korean ETs decided to choreography a dance for all the little kids to this song. I heard it every day for maybe 3 months. The first two weeks I liked it, the next six I hated it, the final two I loved it again and the final performance was so cute. Every time I hear it I think of those adorable little buggers.

EDIT: also, the vid provides an interesting example for the correct way to play the fight intervener in Korea without landing yourself in ummmm well you know. (starts with S)

When K-pop stops blatantly plagiarizing Western music, then it will earn a bit more rapport in my book. Most acts are unoriginal pretty faces who have an army of "songwriters."

G-Dragon is a crook.

However, I will admit that the music is infectious and the girls in Kara and other clone groups stop my heart with their looks.
