Classic Rock --> Turkish

I was on a look out to download some new music, stuff which I have not heard and things which I would have missed all these years.

I have always had a liking towards Rock and Turkish music, though I must admit that my true start into Rock music started way later in life, a mere 6 years back. I joined college and I think eventually that music did find its way into my playlists.

I have been a huge fan of Def Leppard, Deep Purple, AC DC, Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath and many others, but nevertheless I have never ever listened to all the songs in a single album of any of these artists, maybe except for Metallica. So now I have decided that I need to have a wider perspective of these artists, and was on a trail of finding music which have been featured as the best rock songs by these and also other artists.

I came upon some nice websites where I found many good and a few not so good songs, most in line with my music tastes. Two amongst them which I really appreciated are:

Anyone knows any other listing, (apart from the billboard charts)?

Rock and Roll

This weekend I have been busy just downloading all the music which I can get my hands on, and one of my friend's happened to send me a clipping stating the top classics in rock and roll.

I always wanted some similar genre on music to what I am usually used to, and this set me on to downloading all the names mentioned here.

I wonder how many of us happen to listen to the latest songs and more importantly like it too. I hear them alright, all the latest Rap and Hip Hop on VH1 but I am not too sure about hearing them again. These Rock and Roll songs have such a strong affinity which they create which I not see in today's music. I believe this is what many say even about the Indian music of today, it doesn't just have that 'extra bit' in it to make it remembered as are the songs of the past.

Maybe this is also a form of generation gap as I see my brother enjoying a very different kind of music as opposed to what I enjoy. He does try to get me also interested in the same and I try to get him hooked onto the old time classics. I like the songs at times, like Akon ( which got me hooked to ) !

He likes them but would nevertheless prefer his own music!
