ROSANNA ROCES' TOP 5 New Wave Songs

Jennifer Adriano Molina popularly known as "ROSANNA ROCES" or "OSANG" in the PHILIPPINE ENTERTAINMENT ARENA would you believe is an avid NEW WAVE FAN? YUP!! This Sexy Filipina Actress have even confirmed that she was an avid XB listener back in the 80s. Whenever I mention "XB days" here in my Blog I refer to the good old days of XB circa 1985-1987 . A very controversial Sexy Actress indeed, some termed her as "THE SEX BOMB".

It was year 2004 when she was invited by 103.5 Klite DJ RON SOUTH to guest on his LITEWAVE "Your Ultimate New Wave Archive" show and she agreed to do so.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend her LITEWAVE guesting but instead I listened over the Radio. It was indeed a great show wherein she was interviewed by DJ RON SOUTH about her Musical Interests and about NEW WAVE. She even mentioned having an I-Pod full of New Wave music. Huh? I-Pod was still expensive back then. Sosyal ang Lola ninyo!! He He He!

I guess the Highlight of the show was when she listed and mentioned her TOP 5 New Wave Songs of the era and DJ RON SOUTH played all 5 of them in ascending order from #5 to #1 Top Pick. I was able to jot it down. Well, here It is I'm going to post it on my Blog. That was her TOP 5 back then, and like most of us our personal favorites would change by time.




ROSANNA's TOP 5 New Wave Songs (LITEWAVE 2004 list)
1) The Pan Within- THE WATERBOYS
2) Total Recall- THE SOUND
3) My Boyfriend Is A Communist- MISS KIMBERLY
4) Tears- THE CHAMELEONS U.K.

She even had a NEW WAVE BIRTHDAY GIG at KLUB102 back in MAY 24, 2004 sponsored by 103.5 Klite. KLUB102 was a Newwave Music Resto-bar which opened May 22, 2004 which was located along 106 KALAYAAN AVENUE, QUEZON CITY. Well, sadly it is non-existent anymore.

CHEERS TO YOU OSANG!!
