Shyam Shankar was the guy who introduced me to Rock music. He was one of my most favourite seniors at college, in his third year when I joined college. Only Third years and Final years are allowed individual rooms and can have their own computers at our hostels. He used to listen to bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana and Linkin Park, but with his tiny speakers, they sounded like hell to me!

He always used to notice my annoyance and would let me hear Lucky Ali or some other soft music for some time, but would switch back to Rock soon. Maybe he thought by making me listen to it again and again, he could force rock into me. But he didn’t succeed then.

Only an year and a half back, I bought a really got pair of head phones and started listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Soon after, I was listening to all sort of modern rock - Linkin Park, Creed, Lost Prophets, Cold Play, Avril Lavigne, Evanescence, U2, Greenday, Snow Patrol.

I was slowly starting to realize that I couldn’t stand pop anymore, which is exactly what Shyam had predicted. I used to really love pop when I was at school. Even during my first two years at college, I used to listen to a lot of The Corrs, Natalie Imbruglia, Spice Girls and others. But now, if I hear any western pop music, I’ll run as fast as I can from the place.

Then came the 90s bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. And eventually, I started listening to classic rock. Since then, there has been no turning back.

Right now, Led Zeppelin are my all time favorites, and then I have monthly favourites. There have been so many bands classic and metal bands I’d find really impressive for a while then lose interest and find a different band. There have been several bands like Guns n Roses, Rammstien and others. But Evanescence and Metallica have been exceptions, because I’ve listened to them for more than a month because of the ultra heavy voices of the singers. And Metallica’s guitars may be distorted, but still they’re melodic. I’m listening to Metallica even now. As I type this, Metallica’s Nothing Else Matters is playing. This song has become another of my all time favourites. And Metallica too. I love their music, but hate the way they look.

I’m not sure if Shyam has too much time for rock these days. His work is like that. I had promised to call him more than a month back, but I haven’t done yet. He must be mad. I’ll give him a few Metallica discs when I meet him next. That should do the trick.

I downloaded a new porn video yesterday, and as it turned out, I ended up enjoying the music much better than the video. I’ve never seen porn with such good music as the background full of guitars and drums and a few artificial sounds. I’ve listened to a lot of guitar sounds, and this one seems to be particularly good.

I ripped the music from the video and I’m putting it here. If anyone could help me identify the artists, I would be really happy to hear from you!

Life would be heaven if all the porn in the world has such morale boosting music!
