Personally I can understand and appreciate only tamil and carnatic music. I have no clue about other languages. So, English music is altogether alien to me. I find little pleasure, merit or satisfaction in hearing to the bands or albums from west. It does not mean they are bad, just that I cannot appreciate them. I know no names of singers, their albums, the bands or anything related to english music. To appreciate the extent of my knowledge, I know there is a guy very famous somehow related to Las vegas who used to play guitar (oflate I learnt he was called Elvis!) or a band named after an insect (beatles) or britney spears because she has nice ways to make press go mad. That's it, I know none else. Further, I can hardly stand western music, I mean, I can't stay in a room where things like metal or trans or something like that being played. I find them absolutely abominable and I detest them to the core. If I had the power, I would ban such music. But again, it is my point of view. There are people who really like (???) that music. So, to all those who share my view of not really liking english music, dont feel bad or inferior. Next time somebody asks you about them, tell them proudly that you dont like them, there is no chance you will like them, and if they press or say something unpleasant, say english music is crap. Say proudly you will prefer the often copied (from english music) version of film songs better since they communicate to you better. And even better, if you like carnatic music, ask them what they think about MS subulakshmi's bajagovindam.

(PS: I am really pissed off when people think it is blasphemy when Isay I dont like western music and these people are mostly Indians by the way)
