Junoon - 20 Years onwards

20 years ago came a band that literally rocked the Rock music scene in whole of South Asia, a band that later on was regarded as the U2 of South Asia and were the pioneers of Sufi Rock. They took out seven albums, each one showing the love of music and singing and the words of the legendary poet - Iqbal. Salman Ahmad at the guitar, Brian O'Connor at the Bass and Ali Azmat with the vocals created magic and we were mesmerised. The words, the lyrics took the songs to new heights and kept alive were the words written by a poet who left this earth decades ago.
The band members moved to take their solo careers ahead but for a Junooni the Junoon still remains and would always remain.

Here are 10 tracks from Junoon to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

#10. Zamanay Kay Andaaz

#7. Rooh Ki Pyaas
