My taste in music is becoming increasingly eclectic. Ive always been a bit anti mainstream (the biggest reason why I don't listen to radio) but nowadays I find myself listening to Turkish and Scottish music, interspersed with resistance stuff (mostly Immortal Technique and Iron sheik) My english music library is extremely outdated - I mean, the latest thing I have is Nelly Furtado Say it right, so I decided to listen to the U.K top 40. What I noticed is that there is a shit load of Christmas inspired songs (well, it was the December edition i downloaded)
This reminded me of an episode of south park where Cartman took regular songs and change them into Christian rock songs by adding key words like 'Jesus'. So, what if I do that but make Muslim versions of pop songs... I mean, whats the big deal - Naat reciters mercilessly steal Bollywood tunes . Here's two I did last year, and some new ones - you're welcome to add some in the comments page

Aaah, such talent.. why dont u approach someone to sing it.. I was gonna say "islamic band" but it sounds like an oxymoron.
Hhahah excellent! MJ at his best !
My music taste was always static and dull until I realised there is this whole world, less beautiful than our naat/nasheeds though, out there…but I'm moving one step at a time. Primarily, I alternate between 2 to 3 radio stations at work, which is largely where I get my music influence from, so admittedly its still restrictive but not like before I hasten to add.
I wouldn’t mind someone with eclectic taste sending me tunes that would add "refreshing" to my music list. :-)
