Let the music play on…

Had been Tagged a long long time ago! Its to do about our musical-notes[1]favourite songs, I guess 5 from each language, you are familiar with (if I’m not wrong!).

Well, English songs grew up on a small dosage, but a concentrated one suffused with ABBA, Beatles, Donna Summer, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Wham and few stray Grammy hits. Period. But picked them up again after shifting to Kuwait, and now have current favourites, and also managed to catch up with a few great ones, that I had missed in the years in between!! So here goes :

English – 1. La Isla Bonita - Madonna

2. Hasta manana – ABBA

3. Careless Whispers – George Michael

4. Bubbly – Colbie Caillat

5. When I’m gone – Simple plan

My Hindi songs pre-marriage was restricted to Julie, Sholay and ofcourse Sagar. But after my shift to Pune, had my share of bollywood songs. From melodious to the fast moving ones, liked them all!

Hindi – 1. Tere Bina – Guru

2. Mithwaa – KANK

3. Piyu bole – Parineeta

4. Kaje ra re – BAB

5. kya muje pyar hai – woh lamhe

Tamil songs have been always around, in and out, just a bit off touch, off late. It is going to be all the more difficult drawing out the 5 songs, covering more than 3 decades!! Though AR Rahman rules the roost, the past one decade.

Tamil – 1. Songs from alaiypayuthe

2. ‘’ ‘’ rhythm

3. porale ponnu thayee – karuthamma

4. munbe vaa – SOK

5. songs from aayutha ezuthu

Phew! done. This definitely is not an exhaustive list, its just the tip of icebergs! thanks wannabe, really enjoyed doing it going back and forth on flashback trips.

Ahh!!! Nice! :) Thanks for taking it up...

And you are welcome...doing the tag reminds you of so many songs you haven't heard for some time and makes you go back and listen to them again! I think that's the best part of this!

Nice list. Especially the english songs. I grew up on english music. And Hindi. Somehow did not take a liking to malayalam songs.

love all the ones u mention with the exception of 'When I’m gone' which i'm not familiar with. not the tamil ones either. :-(
the best thing of these tags is the amount of interesting info u pick up as u trawl through peoples tags. u must write more often.

la isla bonita takes me back to when I was a teenager. I love careless whisper and most songs by George Michael. I love Tere Bina and Kya mujhe pyar hai.

Thanks for stopping by my place - nice to have met you :)
