The year has almost come to an end...so why not review some of the fine albums of this year....
Rang de basanti: Probably the best album of the year in terms of variety....movie has a typical college number (Masti ki pathshala), excellent romantic song (Tu Bin bataye), bhangra (title song), mother missing her child (Lukka chupi), prayer (Ik onkar), patriotism (Khoon chala)...but the pick of the lot was Roobaroo...mindblowing number (check the guitar interludes) and so well picturised.....almost a perfect ending to a near perfect movie... A R Rahman gave a great album after a long time
Fanaa: last album by my fav music director Jatin-Lalit...excellent songs like Chand Sifarish sung brilliantly by Shaan, Dekho Na and Tere Haath mein from Sonu-Sunidhi.....all the tracks were wonderful...wish there were few more songs in the album...

Gangster: surprise album of the year....no one expected Gangster to have such beautiful numbers...so what if Pritam borrowed tracks from Middle-east...songs were simply amazing...it also introduced new singing talents like Zubin and James.....Ya Ali was one of the most successful song of the year...Bheegi Bheegi and Tu hi meri shab hai were not far behind......
KANK:SEL continues to give one hit album after another.....last year success story of B&B was carried forward with KANK and Don....2007 too looks positive for this trio with Salaam-e-ishq...coming backto KANK it was a typical Yash Chopra- Karan Johar album..Sonu was brilliant in the title track so was Mitwa by Shafaqat Ali.....Mitwa had a typical Pakistani feel to it and the track was superb..Tumhi dekho na was a typical Jatin-Lalit number...in all one of the great albums of this year
Bas Ek Pal: very little was expected from this movie...but when the album hit the music stands there was no looking back...al the tracks were amazing each being unique in its own way...Tere Bin became the anthem of the country..Atif was as usual great in this song... Yeh Ishq hai kya was a classy party number..Ashq bhi and Zindagi Hosh were also great.....my personal favourite....

Jaan-e-mann: Anu Malik is back with a bang....songs like Ajnabi Shehar and Sau Dard are amongst best tracks ever composed by Anu Malik...Ajnabi Shehar is the best song of the year....Humko Maloom hai and Jaane ki jaane were also great numbers....but still Ajnabi Shehar mesmerizes me....what a track
Don: Aaj ki Raat gave a typical 80s disco feel.....thats why this song is my personal favourite....it is my most heard song of this year....everyone felt that Khaike Paan and Yeh mera Dil were the best numbers but I felt that Aaj ki raat was one of the best lounge/disco numbers in recent times....Even the title song sung by Shaan was good.....Khaike Paan was a downer though Yeh Mera Dil was cute...

Ankahee: Most underrated album of this year...check out Ek Pal ke liye and Aa Paas Aa..Shreya Ghoshal and Kay Kay sang these songs really well....even Kunal Ganjawala was great in Tumse yoon milenge...even Pritam (composer) thinks that this album didnt get the attention which it deserved.....
Omkara:Beedi was one of the best item number of all times...Sunidhi and Sukhwinder gave the song a very rustic feel...Title song and Namak were also great numbers....Gulzar was at his best so was Vishal....
