Musical minded meme

Thanks Johnny.

Total volume of music files on my computer:
None, since my sound card went bad, actually i'm flogging this poor computer to its last days...it has got so many problems! grrrr.

The last CD I bought was:
Some albums of Nusrat fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen. The former is no more, he was a sufi singer, with an amazing voice and the latter, she too is in her leauge....great stuff.

Songs playing right now:
Miss Sarajevo-Passengers featuring Bono....this is an old compilation in a twin set, released on Diana's death. It has some favourites of mine, like the above one, streets of philadelhia and make me a channel of your peace by sinead 'o connor.

five songs i listen to a lot, or that means a lot to me:
Losing my religion- REMGone fishing - Chris rea
Who's gonna ride your wild horses - U2
Total Eclipse of the heart - Bonnie Tyler
Unforgiven-MetallicaJersey Girl/streets of philadelhia/brillant disguise - Bruce Springsteen
Miracle/blaze of glory-Jon Bon Jovi
Zooropa - U2
I feel good - James Brown
Crazy - Seal

I'm going to stop here, though i should have stopped 5 songs ago but well...i still have many favourites.

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
Anumita, Neel Sen, Jamie Dawn, Pecos Blue, Nav Amole and any other who might want to take the this up.

You won't believe this, but I have no music files, and I haven't bought any CD's in that last few years.
My son is a guitarist and he's what I hear most of the time.... nearly all the time.

I see that you have a wide taste and appreciation of music. I think that's great.
I love Andrea Boccelli and Marc Anthony, but I don't have their CD's. I need to go shopping!

at the moment, and it does change from week to week i am very much in love with The White Stripes (new album out in UK on 6th June)
The Killers (USA band)
The Kaiser Chiefs (UK band and EXCELLENT TOO)
Bruce Springsteens new album Dust and Devils which is as good as ever.
and would love to hear some new Bangra. Big in the UK but have to trawl the radio stations to hear it!!!

Hi Gulnaz, I am honoured for you to have passed the baton to me. Do you mean Ali Akbar Khan?

I like many of your musical choices both Eastern and Western, I am a musician and like all kinds of music. My aunt puts on shows in Portland Oregon for the Indin society and she brings and meets all the big names including the likes of Zakir Hussain, Ravi Shankar and many, many more.

I will post my thoughts later today. Thanks

:-) Talk about co-incidences. I posted at 11.50 am, minutes later you post the same meme!

Heheh I was facing the same prob when it came to the songs I listen to regularly - which is why I figured i'd post the albums that are perpetually in my CD tray!

G Shrivastava said...

And oh - BON JOVI rocks! It helps that he's got such amazing sex appeal too ;-)

Nicole Braganza said...

I feel Good --- yeah, baby....I could listen to that a hundred times and it wil give me a kick every single time!! :)

Total Eclipse of the Heart - another lovely song.
