first time I heard this band's song Pretty Child when I was quite young & I didn't really knew about music & rhythm, but still liked to see it whenever got a chance. Now as a grown-up & closely attached to music I still enjoy this song as if hearing for the first time.........it is nostalgic....brings back my childhood :)

@meanwillie hahaha I agree,i was 6 when this came up,was good times listening to such beautiful music back then..

i cant beleive what comes on now :(

Expected drums, instead got Tabla, that too after 1 and a half minute!

Wonderful beginning of a new rock age in India.

And while Im writing this suddenly drums entered!!! WOW man. These guys made it exist even at that time.

The one thing this song will always remind me of is Rang Bhavan...seems like a lifetime back..sad

There is a simplicity and beauty in the composition and lyrics that gives me goosebumps till this day. Its not about production values or viral marketing or any of that new age mumbo jumbo. This is sheer talent and soul. This era was the birth of Indian Rock ... before the bastardization of Indian rock music by Bollywood and capitalism.

I feel so homesick now. Sigh :) I wish I could go back home -- not the current Mumbai, the late 1980s, early 1990s Mumbai. Sigh

It's sad they've got only over 8000 "official" fans on Facebook.. Sheer geniuses..!!
