Some cool English music-specially for English music newbies

Until 4 years back, I listened to only a couple of english artists: Backstreet boys and Britney.
When my friends urged me to listen to rock, I would ridicule them. It was for the 'pseudo cool' guyz crazy about anything western. Back then, Ilayaraja and ARR was all I needed to listen to.

Today, I see they did have a point. Some english songs are indeed awesome. I can call myself a better music fan now. Listening to and learning to appreciate 'foreign' music seems to have kindled an interest and excitement in me!

I list songs that are definitely not a waste of time listening to. Dedicated specially to all the english song newbies out there!
