My Favourite Songs

English is not my first language, English music is not my first choice of music, the following list is selected from the very limited number of English music CDs I have.

1)   In My Life     -- Beatles

2)   Unchained Melody     -- Righteous Brothers

3)   Feeling Good     -- Nina Simone

4)   Another Day In Paradise     -- Phil Collins

5)   Ain't No Sunshine     -- Bill Withers

6)   Let It Be     -- Beatles

7)   My Heart Will Go On     -- Celine Dion

9)   Hello Is It Me     -- Lionel Richie

10)   Buffalo Soldier     -- Bob Marley

Even though Hindi is not my first language, I've been listening to Hindi songs since my childhood; it is almost impassable for me to remember and short list all my favourite Hindi songs, I'm sure I missed plenty of top songs in the list and listed some average songs.
