Rock n Roll...

I always heard my dad listening to Bee Gees "Staying Alive"...which got me grooving...although I could never dance...
friends at school would dance to the tunes of Micheal Jackson "Beat it", "Billie Jean", "Black or White"...That's when I bought my first cassette...MICHEAL JACKSON: DANGEROUS...
and I listened to him day in day out...
Other dance tracks like Tribal Dance, Twilight zone and later Backstreet Boys songs like "Everybody" became a craze...i got more cassettes...
By the time I finished my schooling, I had a collection of Micheal Jackson and Backstreet Boys plus my dad's collection of Bee Gees, Eagles, few old Hindi hits of Kishore Kumar, Asha Bhonsle ,Lata Mangeshkar and some spiritual stuff which I never bothered to listen...

But once I entered college...I ventured deeper into the world of music...
My friend made me listen to "In the end" by Linkin park and "Take a look around" by Limp Bizkit...
That is when I bought my first Linkin Park cassette "Hybrid Theory" then Meteora...
by that time I got a computer and started to listen to online music and got CDs and mp3s....

Listening to only these two bands made life monotonous...and I happened to listen to "Nothing else matters" by Metallica...this song completely turned things around and "Rock n Metal" was what got me going!...
I got hold of all of Metallica's songs...then a new channel VH1 came up where I heard "Iron Maiden"...."Fear of the dark" , "hallowed be thy name"...such meaningful songs with amazing guitarwork, lyrics and vocals fascinated me...
One thing led to another and then I came across bands like Creed, Dream-theater, ACDC, Deep Purple, Queen and LED ZEPPELIN...
Songs like "Stairway to heaven" by led zepp, "nothing else matters" by metallica, "comfortably numb", "the wall" by Pink floyd, "Metropolis" by Dream theater, "my sacrifice" by creed, "highway star" by Deep purple, "Hallowed be thy name" by Iron maiden, "November Rain" by Guns n Roses, "Back in Black" by AC/DC...all signify an excellent portrayal of brilliant guitarwork, meaningful lyrics, flawless vocals and above all a TRIBUTE to the world of ROCK
