A Different Kind of Mayday in Taiwan　搖滾不敗！！Rocker —— 五月天

　　They are named Mayday, but they are far from calling for help. Mayday is a Taiwanese band that got its start in Taipei in 1997. Most high school bands don't make it past graduation, but Mayday knew they had something special. The band credits The Beatles frontmen John Lennon and Paul McCartney with being their biggest inspirations and influencing their resulting sound. As such, they are often dubbed the Chinese Beatles.
　　Those are big shoes to fill, but Mayday is doing a good job. They are currently in the middle of a world tour, in which one leg sold more tickets than Madonna's. Furthermore, Mayday enjoys a great deal of fame at home in Asia. They have even been called the pioneers of rock music in Taiwan. This fame has earned them the notable Golden Melody Award for best band on four separate occasions. Mayday is proof that one doesn't need to travel off this little island to hear good music because it has been right here the whole time.

　　他們叫『五月天』，但他們一點也不需要求救（編按︰Mayday 是國際通用的無線電通話遇難求救訊號）。五月天是 1997 年在台北出道的台灣樂團。大部分高中生玩樂團都撐不過畢業，但五月天知道他們自己與眾不同。五月天歸功於披頭四的主唱約翰•藍儂和保羅•麥卡尼為給予他們最多啟發的人並影響了他們後來的音樂風格。正因如此，他們常被稱作『華人披頭四』。
　　雖然五月天的成就仍不及披頭四，但他們已經做得很好了。他們目前正在世界巡迴演出中，其中某次單場演唱會的票房甚至超過瑪丹娜。此外，五月天在亞洲國內享譽盛名。他們甚至被稱為台灣搖滾樂先鋒。這樣的盛名使他們贏得四座著名的金曲獎『最佳樂團』。五月天證明人們不須離開這座小島才能聽到好音樂，因為好音樂其實一直就在這裡。
