C-Rock anyone? (or any other C-genre recommendation)

I'll keep it short: I'm learning Mandarin so I'd like to listen more Mandarin music.
Any recommendations?
Any kind of genre is fine, but Rock is preferred whee

Mandarin music is mostly a mix of poprock; there's not many out there that does stays in the rock genre as much as Mayday. Some of the names mentioned in the above post are actually more R&B or Pop (like 小宇, 林俊傑, 何維健). The below suggestions are mainly Taiwanese artists.

Shin 信樂團 - 天高地厚 / One Night in Beijing
Old but prominent rock band in the Chinese music industry.

F.I.R. - 千年之戀 / Lydia
If you prefer female vocals, I would recommend the Taiwanese pop rock band, F.I.R.
They are one of the stronger bands out there that are not an 'idol band'.

Jam Hsiao 蕭敬騰 - 王妃 / 複製人 / 王子的新衣
Jam Hsiao's amazing vocals brought works spanning from rock to jazz and R&B.

Sodagreen 蘇打綠 - 再遇見 / 這天 / 小情歌
Probably considered Indie Rock or MandoPop. They have written some very beautiful and poetic lyrics.

Chang Chen-yue 張震嶽 - 分手吧 / 愛我別走
Cheesy, romantic, slow rock ballads are associated with this guy.

Some other rock songs...

Y2J 神木與瞳 - 為你而活
DCW 東城衛 - 在你離開那一天
伍佰&China Blue - 我們註定在一起
Landy 温嵐 - 逆流的淚
Cherry Boom 櫻桃幫 - 再見我的愛
Jolin Tsai 蔡依琳 - 倒带
Rainie Yang 楊丞琳 - 小茉莉

This is pretty much heading into metal territory but this is all I can think of:

Might as well mention they're from Taiwan

Just Silver Ash, myself. They started putting their old stuff on iTunes.

Have you tried listening to Jay Chou? Although his music isn't really my cup of tea, he's a classic among a lot of Chinese-speaking people. There's not a single Chinese/Taiwanese person I've met so far who hasn't heard at least one of his songs. He sings a variety of genres, from pop to rock to hip-hop.

To be honest I don't really listen to them. sweatdrop I'm more into Japanese Rock.
I know Power Station because I've watched a C-drama with they did an OST-song for. So that's the only song I can recommend.
