Hindi, Tamil, and Soca songs -- recommendations?

My friends occasionally send me Tamil songs and I really enjoy a lot of them. I was wondering if any Dopers were fans of songs from that part of the world and if so, to give me some recommendations?

I'm also interested in Soca music because none of my friends are really big on that genre. Suggestions are welcome.

I don't know much about Tamil songs, unfortunately, and not too much more about Hindi songs, although I've been building a small collection myself. What kind of songs do you like generally - are you looking for old-fashioned movie songs, the newer movie songs with more of a pop flavor, or non-movie tunes altogether?

I've been told I have some, um, eclectic tastes when it comes to music, but I'll list a few things I like here.

Older Bollywood tunes:

Do deewane shahar mein - Bhupinder & Runa (from Gharonda)
Mehbooba a Mehbooba - RD Burman (from Sholay)
Kuch na kaho - Kumar Sanu (from 1942 - A Love Story)
Dekha ek khwab - Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar (from Silsila)
Neela aasman so gaya - Lata Mangeshkar (from Silsila)

Newer Bollywood tunes:

Tujhe dekha to - Lata Mangeshkar & Kumar Sanu (from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge)
Humko humise chura lo - Lata Mageshkar & Udit Narayan (from Mohabbatein)
Tune zindagi mein - Alka Yagnik (from Humraaz)
Jaane jaana jaane jaana - Sunidhi Chauhan (from Shikaar)

Other stuff:

Churaliya Remix - Bally Sagoo
Huna huna - Shubha Mudgal
Dil le gayee - Jassi
Tera chehra - Adnan Sami
Pyar zindagi hai (remix) - DJ Suketu

There are a couple of good web sites where you can listen to Indian music and explore what's out there:

http://musicindiaonline.com/
http://raaga.com/

Music India Online has a broader variety of music available, but it's a little easier to search through Raaga.com.

There'a also a web site I know of where tons of Hindi and Tamil mp3s are available for download, but since they have other genres available too I won't post it here (lest the mods become concerned). Feel free to email me about it, though, and I'll send you the url.
