Great. Seems like your blog is getting really popular. Gone are the days when u would beg people to comment on your blog i guess.
Being clueless about most of the songs you have mentioned, for me my favourite song is Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably numb” . Brilliant song. I think it tries to portray that after soem time, you just stop listening to people and it hurts you most when you need help. But of course, being “numb” you dont realize it. I think it also tries to say that after some stage in your life, you are left with no dreams. Without dreams its as if you have no real feeling. You are detached and so nothing troubles you that much.

A couple of corrections… Don Williams is singing about his wife in the song “You are my best friend”, and when talking about Psychedelic Rock… Pink Floyed’s post wall albums dont quite cut it, its not psychedlic rock per se. Typical Psychedelic Rock band would be Greatful Dead.
Although “Radio ga ga” talks about TV placating radio, they were definitely not the first. THe first of its kind was the song “Video killed the radio star” by The Buggles. In fact, it was the first song to be aired by MTV on its maiden broadcast.
So far as Simon and Garfunkel go… I think Garfunkel’s acting in a porn movie did contribute a lot to the band’s breakup as well.
I am surprised not to see David Bowie in there. No audiophile’s claim to be one is complete without mentioning David Bowie.

Nice collection of songs there. Haven’t listened to U2 though. Surely this can’t be an exhaustive list and yet, I feel compelled to mention my personal favourites – “American Pie” by Don McLean and “Johny B.Goode” by Chuck Berry.

Bob Dylan was a folk artist, Shankar, no matter what Wiki tells you! And how could you forget his “Knocking on Heaven’s door?”
