Taiwanese rock -- best bands?

OT post. I'm listening to one of the best Taiwanese rock bands on iTunes, maybe the first "band" that gained any real popularity in Taiwan in the 1990s. The band is 五月天, the album is 愛情萬歲, and the musicianship and lyrics are excellent throughout. If the first track, 為什麼 ﹣今日的愛情, was sung in English instead of Taiwanese it could have made some headway on U.S. airwaves.

Some of you may say, "五月天 are just a bunch of Mandopop crooners. And what about 五百 and China Blue?" My answer: 五月天 are definitely not some record label creation designed to appeal to teen pop fans. They formed on their own in college, worked themselves through the underground club scene in 1997 and 1998, and wrote their own songs. And the songs are great. It has a pop edge to be sure, but it is well-crafted and guitar-oriented ... the lead guitarist told me his biggest Western influence was Pink Floyd, for goodness sake!

五百 is in a class by himself. He came earlier, is a more versatile songwriter, and rocks harder. But while he and his band are a single musical entity, the music industry wanted to promote him as an individual "star," and therefore his image is different than that of 五月天, IMHO.

Additionally, 五月天 and 五百 and China Blue are just the tip of the iceberg. They happened to get famous. There are a lot of Taiwanese bands still slogging it out in the underground. Wikipedia gives a short rundown in English; from that list I recommend Clippers and LTK Commune as good starting points.
