1 - Laila Main Laila - Qurbani (1980)
Possibly the best intro to a bollywood track ever with its crescending drum beats kicking into the bass that set the tone for the entire song. Its the bass that makes the track great, especially the descending riffs during the secondary verses and the crazy drum beats half way through culminating in a very sexy scream from Kumari Kanchan. No remix has come close to the original and to be honest never will!
2 - Pyar Zindagi Hai - Muqadar Ka Sikander (1978)
"Hey man you dig this sort of music hey, you like it, why dont you come and join the lovers paradise?" If this is the music they play in lovers paradise - psychadelic beats - then i'm there!! Again, a track way ahead of its time, with the fast drum beats and crushing trumpets, together with the visual of the hosts' ass shaking to the beats...i bloody was in heaven when i saw this track for the first time! "Pyar pyar pyar pyar, pyaaaar....haramzaade"
3 - Kya Khoob Lagti Ho - Dharmatma (1975)
With its intro of a harmonica flying through the wind, this track again in true Kalyanji Anandji style starts with a well defined bass into their trademark shadows style guitar riff. Phir se bajao!
4 - Theme from Don - Don (1978)
CLASSIC! I cant really say much as it is the epitome of cool....
5 - Yaari Hai Iman Mera - Zanjeer (1973)
Proving the duo can do more than just crazy jazz and funk. Beautifully sung by Manna Dey and similarly picturised by the great Pran.
So there you have it, my personal faves, although it could all change tomorrow when i pop in another compilation CD in my car tomorrow and realise what I ve missed off!!
