Definitive Songs

It's tough to define them in a creative field such as music, where tastes differ, but so what? I will try and define some songs that define music directors that I know-

1. Roshan- Jo wada kiya woh nibhaana padega from Taj Mahal. Mellow.
2. Rajesh Roshan- Chhoo kar mere man ko, kiya toone kya ishaara, from Yaarana. Ditto.
3. SD Burman- O meri, O meri O meri Sharmilee, aao na tarsaao na.. from Sharmilee..vibrant
4. RD Burman- Dum Maro Dum from Hare Rama hare Krishna, a generation-changer.
5. Kalyanji Anandji- Khaike pan Banaraswala khul jaye band akal ka tala from Don- party song, Indian style.
6. Laxmikant Pyarelal- Haye re haye, neend nahi aaye- a sexy duet picturised on jeetendra and Leena Chandavarkar in Humjoli.
7. Shankar Jaikishan- Aaj kal tere mere pyar ke charche har zabaan par, sabko malum hai aur sabko khabar ho gayi- you feel like dancing when you hear it. If you don't believe me, watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIvLi9JT8tE
8. Ram Laxman-Didi tera devar deewana, hay Ram, kudiyon ko daale dana- Hum Aapke Hain kaun- a family classic
9.Ravindra Jain- Gori tera gaon bada pyaara, main to gaya mara - Chitchor, which redefined Hindi film music in many ways.
10. Himesh Reshammiya- Ice cream khaaongi, Kashmir jaaongi,,,...Just added this for fun!
