Now, you might disagree with most or maybe all of these, all the music ranges from the late 80's to know. Old is Gold, so that's why I'm not going to bother placing anything other than music from the past 14-15 years. Now I'm Going to do it in an Ascending order.
8) Bombay(1995)
I think this was A.r Rahman's best, well the one I liked alot more than other. Kehna HI Kya, Kuch Bhi Na Socho and Tu Hi Re are my top choices.
7) 1942 Love Story(1994_
Great songs. Wow, Kavita sounds so good in this album! Kuch Na Kaho, Pyar Hua Chupke Se, Rhim Jhim and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha are the best!
6) Criminal(1995)
Tu Mile all three versions and Mujko Chupa Le are the best! Mm. Kreem is the best! Tu Mile is my 1# song but the whole album isn't 1# but is still great.
5) Sir(1993)
What beautful music! this is truly Kavita's best. She got to sing two great songs that are simply beautiful! Band Honthon Se is great solo by her and really nice sad lyrics, and Aaj Humne Dil Ka is a great Duet with Kumar Sanu. Odh Ke Andhera is a nice Dandiya wedding time number by Alka. Humse Badal Gaya Hai, Sun Sun Barsaat Ki and Jis Din Suraj Ki are one of Kumar's Best! the lyrics are outstanding! he also has his own Band Honthon Se version, but Kavita has a better one. The last is Yeh Ujhli Chandni, a fantastic Alka- Kumar duet, one of their best! overall A Album of True Quality and I think this one is 100% original, but who knows.
4) Baazigar(1993)
Baazigar O Baazigar, the violan intro of this song is truly magical. Alka sounds so at home in this songs, and kumaris his great himself! Truly a quality number. The video with Srk in Zorro, I mean Baazigar was priceless! I love how Anu Mlik added the Salsa/Latin type music in the middle and the Saxophone, Damn, Anu Malik's Saxophone makes me melt! Ae Mere Humsafer A Alka/ Vinod duet, which showcased that Alka best numbers are the slow duets. Vinod sounds like his usual self and really makes this song enjoyable!
The video was also nice, I loved the whole midnight cool air feeling the video gave to the song. Next is Samaj Kar Chand another Alka-Vinod duet that wasn't in the movie, but was still okay, but not as nearly good as their first duet in this album.
Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhein*, a great dark, but catchy solo by Kuamr Sanu, this song would've much betetr without those nasty retarded interludes like Pyar Jaat kar or soemthing, that was really annoying, but besides that the feeling the songs gives is truly spectacular. I love The'Oo Oo O' haha.
Next is Chupana Bhi Nahin, a great solo by Vinod Rathod. the lyrics are really awesome and the music is great. But honestly the video for this songs was terrible! Kitaben Bahut Se retard tacky lyrics, Vinod And Asha, a rare pairing. so anytthing good about this song? Anything not good!? The songs might have wierd lyrics the the music is awesome! And very catchy!
And though odd, Vinod and Asha sound good together, like Parbat Se Kaali from Chandni had the same pairing and that was a great catchy fast song! Overall a fast number with good music. The next is probable my least favorite, Tere Chehre Pe sounds lvery bland and boring, Kumar sanu starts off good, but that annoying voice by Who knowa was really irratating. Pass. Overall the 3rd Best Anu Malik Ever!
3) Saaya(2003)
Har Taraf, Sherya Ghoshal and K.K sound so good together. The lyrics have such a great Ghazal feel to it. An inspiring yet dark number. Very Soothing. The Music is awesome by Anu Malik! Now Mm.kreem composes one for this album, and is another great song, and makes this album even better! O Saathiya sung by Udit and Alka, has such great lyrics and the music is so soothing! This song has two Sad versions, but aren't the best, but okay. Ae Meri Zindagi has two solos, One by Udit and One by Sherya. The both are great and have a nice ghostly feel to it. though I wish there was a duet version like in the movie. Kabhi Khusboo solo by k.k is nice, with great lyrics! Seena Pada is okay, the lyrics are good, so are the vocals. It come sin two versions, male(Udit) and female(Sherya).
2) Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aaye(1993)
Anu Malik's Best Album EVER! The Lyrics, Singers, The Music are amazing! The best song is *Tere Dar Par Sanam, the male version, by Kumar Sanu. the Piano and all my favorite instruments are there. Though the lyrics are plagerised from a pakistani song, the tune isn't and that's what makes it better than the original. There is aslo a female version sung by Sadhana Sargam, which is also good. The next best song is Dil Main Sanam Ki Soorat This is the 2nd best Alka/Kumar duet ever(First Being Tu Mile) The lyrics are outstanding! And the music is really nice.
Then there is Baadalon Mein Chup Raha, a nice jazzy type duet by Alka And Kumar. The music is the best thing about the song and then its the singers. Next are the solos: First there is Shairana Si Hai, a solo by Alka Yagnik. The lyrics are nice, and the music is really great. Alka dominates this track with ease! Second there is Ana Wala Kal by Kumar Sanu. I love the lyrics about the whole past is ours and tommarrow type songs. The music is really outstanding, the piano is just awesome.
Next it's Dil Deta Hai Ro Ro, which has two versions. Female verison is Alka, and the male is Pankaj Udas. The Female version is much better. the lyrics are stolen from an old paskistani song, but again the tune and music are much better than the original. The music is really good, especially when Anu adds shenai to it. In conculsion, this is truly on eof the best albums ever by Anu Malik and in gereal but the one thing missing it from being #1 is originality.
Now it's the best album! This one is original, the lyrics are soft, relaxing and nice. the music is very simple and different. This is a relitively new album. It's
1) Jism(2003)
Mm. Kreem simply out done himself! When I first heard Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai, I became obsessed! The music was different! The lyrics were truely some jaadu! but truly the track was awesoem because of Sherya Ghoshal. This is the first time I took notice of her, I barely paid attention to her in Devdas. this is also a duet with Shaan in it, but the solo is much better.
Next is the ghazal by Udit. Mere Khwabon Ka is sung beautifully and the lyrics are really nice and dark. The music is very simple, but it taks a couple of listen to enjoy this song. Next is Chalo Tumko Lekher, solo by Sherya. This track is a lighter Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai, the lyrics are outstandingly beautful and very surreal. then there is Shikayit Hai by Roop Kumar Rathod. Very sorrow yet enjoyable. The music is really nice and his singing is fantastic!
Then, in two versions, come Aawarapan Banjarapan, both versions(Mm. Kreem, K.K) are good, but K.k one is longer so there's more to enjoy. I could go on and on about this masterpiece but i'm losing my patience.
This is truly 1#
I hope you liked my review on my top 20. I wish this was a top 40# because there is a lot more good albums but can't fit in here.
Thanks For Reading, Faheem
