50 Popular Songs You Forgot You Absolutely Loved As A Teenager


Remember those days when we used to listen to Euphoria, Lucky Ali, Falguni Pathak, Bombay Vikings and Bombay Rockers? Those were the days of good tasteful music, with little sexual innuendos (I say little because what do you think Channe ki khet me was about?). They didn't have to use dirty words to make their songs sell. It was all about rhythm and music in its best form. Ah! Those were the days of pure auditory bliss minus the gaali galoch and noise in the music industry today. 
So, let's take a musical trip down memory lane and revisit the songs that made us '90s kids croon and swoon:

1. Kya Soorat Hai-Bombay Vikings

We got introduced to pop via Bombay Vikings, and this song couldn't have done a better job at it. 

2. Pari Hun Main-Suneeta Rao

A beautiful voice and this song had all the feels to make a girl feel good, like a pari.
