Music and I never got along. You could blame it on the fact that I am tone deaf or the fact that I can’t seem to remember more than two lines on any song that I might like/ crave or want to hear.
There have been days when I thought that Pink Floyd was a person and thought that Eminem was cool. Back when Desi pop existed and the only bands I had heard of were Metallica and Linkin Park (probably because they were etched out on our class room desks).
But slowly, I grew older, and the music around me did too. I experimented. I tried. I tested.
The Hindi songs had been hidden, and the soundtracks deleted.
And so now, I seek redemption. So here’s a list of 50 songs that I like. Two words. Go listen.
