She's always a woman is a wonderful song. Hmmm. Pretty nice collection. Would agree with most (why is Aerosmith there twice? You like that one doubly much?) of your list. Have you heard the following:
1. Annie's song and Daydream (John Denver)
2. Animal Instinct (Cranberries)
3. When you say nothing at all (Ronan Keaton)
4. American Pie (and the story associated with it)
5. Winds of Change (Scorpions)
6. Cocaine, Tears in Heaven and Its probably me(Clapton)
7. Tequila Sunrise and Another song which I am not able to recollect (Eagles)
8. Come undone
9. Desert Rose
?
Seemed to follow the same beat as your list...
And I say again, nice collection...
A good collection of songs. But check out the following two...
Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman - Something Stupid
Billy Joel - We Did'nt Start The Fire
- Dheepak Ra
Five of mine are there.....others....well....not that much as to say my favourites...
Got it!!
The Eagles number is "Love will keep us alive"
I woke up with that song running in my head.... (sorry for taking another comment space for this). We didn't start the fire is a brilliant number too (but does it fall in place with the shades of your collection? Not sure...).
I am back. Really sorry, Renuka. I thought this is a better place to place this than anywhere else (well, you can't click on graffiti!)

Hey I know this is not a forum to publish my list (in no particular order) But forgive me. I got carried away.
Btw, Eroteme looks like our playlists have a lot in common :-)
Hey Renuka,
Interesting list! :)
Now I know who to ask for a good English Song reco huh??
Renuka, you're welcome for the link. They used Flash to create that. Good effect, nah?
Please don't apologise. I was merely bringing it to your notice in case you wanted to change it. You must have noticed that upmteen times on nous-reigns posts.
Speaking of whom, Meera, we do have a lot in common (and I am referring to the song list), esp. when you pick all of them from my list and add 1 or 2 to make it look originally yours!!! ;-)
Renuka, Every breath you take is nice (and I am still referring to the song on the list).
I gotta say this and hope you dont consider me a chauvinist for doing so. I could have looked at your list and guess it was a girls list :)
But a nice pick of songs for a romantic evening.
If you are a person who likes songs like above, try Marvin Gaye. Id also recommend Muddy Waters, if you can get your hands on an album that is.
Enjoy :)
heyyyyy meera - thanks for the list and the comment!!! :-)
SK - thanks a lot for the comments!! yeah, sure now u know whom to ask for the same!!! :-)
Eroteme - yeah - too good...(i am referring to the the link) i didnt make the corrections, bcos ur comment might look out of sorts! ;-) --You must have noticed that upmteen times on nous-reigns posts.-- no comments :-)
ranga aka the last blogger - in fact the subject of this post was originally 'how is it always that i sing a ballad always directed towards women' - and then i discovered that it is always the guys who manage to get into ful stream musical career and write something along these lines...
I'm poor in this category :)
these days I listen only hip-hop - sung by brothers :)
hey saranyan!!! nothin great abt these genre of music - in fact i started listenin to english music from my 11th std when FM was introduced - and there used to be this 7-9 metro music
in fact u can start with the list that myself and commentors have posted - this list has songs that everybody wud like right from the very first time they listen to it -
of course - a bit of interest and patience is necessary - thts jus abt it :-)
Saran
Hiphop rules player. It just rocks. Its on my programmed stations all the time and I dig em big time.
Saranyan, my 2 pence worth. As Renuka opines, this blog and its comments could serve as a good starting point, but before that you need to figure out what kinda music you dig. What do you listen to currently? Ballads? Beaty numbers? Duppankuththu? Classical? Ones with good lyrics? Ones with nice music? Based on that, choose the genre (actually you already would have) amongst Western music.
Ballads: When you say nothing at all, Only time, I will always love you, etc.
Beaty numbers: Animal Instinct, Walk like an Egyptian (old), etc.
Dappankuththu: Powerless, Wasn't me
Classical: I would recommend instrumental here but lets place some country numbers here: Annie's song, Country roads
Ones with good lyrics: Don't speak, And I'll be there, Leaving on a jetplane, American Pie
Ones with nice music: Hotel California, Winds of Change, Nightingale (Yanni)
Now ain't that more than 2 pence?
hey renuka,all my favorites too..there is another one i like a lot --by Phil Collins--groovy kind of love"..
Aah..thatz an almost romantic list..;))..Nice coincidence in our posts..:)
Ok am not too familiar with Eng songs..but I do have few of my personal favourites here...hmm..let me see..
one, Lady in red, two, nothing's gonna change my love for you, three, have u ever loved a woman? (Brilliant lyrics)..and yes, the list is getting longer..!
Eroteme - certainly!!!! thts more than 2 pence :-)
jo - yeah am listening to it right now...thanks!!! :-)
hey anu!!! yeah - nice coincidence! all i have listed here are in fact jus a few... lots more - anyway thanks for the comments :-)
Ivangallam yaaru, kannai katti kattula vitta madhiri irukku....Yaaravadhu kapathunga....
hey reflex - my immediate thot was, 'reflex is being true to his name.' - i meant ur reaction - anyway, there is nothin much to it - i was like this a few years ago - but thn, today i wud say it a few of those nice things that has happened to me - listening to western music...
Renuka
Came here from Saranyan's blog.... thatz quite a list but mine would have a lot more aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard and U2.
