  5. Amit, you keep saying that! I keep wondering why :)

    The Top 5 Beatles list is only a teaser - the real list will be put up next :)

    Olivia, eclectic is good. Thank you :) I think taste is often a reflection of the cultural context you grew up in, and time is a part of that.


    M, Yes 'Top 5' I did say. Note there is a Top 5 and a runners up section. I guess the small font makes it easy to miss ;)

    I'm glad you liked the songs. Whats ur list? Its not favourites, mind you, but the Top 5 songs you 'most identified with' ever.

    Austere, good. Its always nice to learn new things ;0)

  10. 5 is a big number..at times, i tend to identify with Simon & Garfunkell's 'I am a rock' (but i am constantly working towards not identifying with it:)..

    my favourite song, for quite a while, has been 'O Mere Sanam, O mere sanam'(Mukesh and Lata) from 'Sangam'...

    and like 'austere', the beatles ones were the only ones i knew:)..
