Reminiscing

Yesterday roomie K and I were bonding over the music that defined us in college: "Back in Bangalore when we were yeng and happy" :P

They were the songs that played at every club and restaurant then, and more importantly - at every college fest! Some of the non-rock stuff we heard often or listened to (because you know, we were like, the cool chicks who listened to rock) and loved included -

Sigh........ :) Nostalgic?

I also think that there is very, very little singing talent in today's music. And too little variety.

The "Rocker chick" in me says "What happened to all the rock? Where is it?" There were so many good bands with GOOD music then - Creed, Alter Bridge, Pearl Jam, Nickelback, Alice in Chains, Matchbox Twenty, Puddle of Mudd and tons more ...don't you think?

Let me know if you can think of any more and find any more of the late 1900's - early 2000's era songs :)

Mannnnn :) Loved the music then!
