I think bollywood have lost their real essence in music ... Earlier there use to be sensible melody wid melodious voices like Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan and Sonu Nigam... Sonu Nigam is now d only quality singer bollywood have till today after him i think Rahat have done some good stuff besides...now a days with the help of softwares pitch correcting techniques every other person is becoming a playback singer and there is no melody in todays songs ... The last album i liked was Aashique 2 it had good songs plus impressive singing btw now a days every other singer sound same i just miss the oldy of my generation album like Veer Zaara . Haan maine bhi pyar kiya hai of early 2000's is d perfect example of true melody and classic sweet singing which is missing in today's song ...now a days songs are more of ringtone whats ur take on it

As they say old is gold. Music these days are just pure form of entertainment. They don't have soulful melodies or beautiful and meaningful lyrics anymore.

How I miss the music of the 90s, early 2000s, & pre 90s where singers like Kavita ji, Alka ji, Udit ji, Lata ji, Asha ji, Kumar ji, Sonu ji & others were the most prominent singers.

I haven't really been into BW music for a number of years now. It's just not the same. I much prefer Hindi music up until the early 2000s. Unless someone recommends a song to me, I wouldn't know one from the other. I do make it a point to check out Amit Trivedi's work though after having watched Aamir & Udaan few years ago. But other than that, just don't care much.

Majority are bad but not all!!!

Loved Lootera, BMB and Kai Po Che albums this year

Also, few songs of Aashiqui 2 and Raanjhana

But it's true that 90's magic is missing. The SP Bala - Salman combos were the best

I absolutely agree. There is no denying I have got a lot of songs from now but a lot of the songs I have on my laptop are mostly from the early 2000's and even from the 90's some are a few 80's songs and since I am a big Rafi fan have quite a lot of songs from that era as well. And as CPR said the lyrics back then were more meaningful but now some songs I hear on TV are just useless. I hate the idea of English words used in a Hindi song because it just doesn't fit, Amit Trivedi however has done some good songs but you cannot beat the likes of Taal or some music from Rahman because he just had that type of music where it would just make me feel the music. Even with lyrics I just loved the likes of Javed Akhtar and Gulzar their lyrics are beautiful. Some of the words in Urdu used in some songs was just amazing.

I might be the oldie here, but I prefer the 90s (and earlier) music (no, not Govinda ones). I haven't ever lived in India, but even living in the states, it's an absolute ear sore to have to listen to the Hindi-English mix songs. Ew! Half of the time it makes no sense whatsoever. Recently I (unfortunately) ran into a song called 'Mein Senti Hoon'..W T H . Soul music is gone from this era. Aashiqui songs are okay, but not great, just better than their terrible contemporaries.
