Silver Threads and Golden Needles

Better than the original I daresay.... Perfect voice for the song...

Extreme

Was watchin VH1 today, and this came on... Hadn't listened to it in such a long time. One of the great songs of the 90s IMHO... Here's Extreme with "More than Words".

Lil Mama ft Chris Brown T-Pain - Shawty Get Loose

Absolutely love the energy in this...

Fantasy

1995. DD2 had just started broadcasting in India, and showed MTV for 1 hour from 5-6 PM. I used to tune in regularly to ogle the VJ starlets. My first exposure to English music.

This was the first music video that I ever liked.

13 years later, it is amazing that Mariah Carey is still going strong and looking even more sexy in her latest single ("Touch my body")...

Chasing Pavements

Raspy, authoritative and refreshing... Adele is one of the unique voices to come up in recent memory. The video for chasing pavements is quite an interesting concept.

Aha - Take on Me

This video was technically ground-breaking when it came out in the mid-80s. Conceptually it is still great, with the theme of the hero trying to croon and come out of the confines of a cartoon strip. Very well executed...

This song was popularised by A1 recently when they did a cover version.

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes

One of my fav songs... Ignore the tacky video. Just listen to the music...

I first came across Peter Gabriel thru the wonders of AudioGalaxy. AudioGalaxy was the first and only P2P music app to have collaborative filtering. Without that, I wouldn't be listening to Peter Gabriel, Gordon Lightfoot, Fleetwood Mac, Beck, REM etc etc

Another blast from the past... Enjoy

Still golden after all these years

".............
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
