I have tried to be unbiased even with my personal choices here..:) deducting good marks from the Burmans for their too many inspirations and copies. <br /><br />SJ confined them to R-M-M-L-A gambit, but there have been flashes of brilliance with Talat(Daag), Hemant(Badshah, Patita), Suman Kalyanpur, Subir Sen and later in the 70s with Kishore also. So, they recovered some marks there. <br /><br />And, sincere thanks dear for your comments.

I personally have difference in opinion with a few points (like SJ getting 7/10 for use of singers..IMHO they deserve 5 at best, due to their loyalty to the famous five) . No wonder Burmanda is at the top (even in my list) even though he has a large number of "inspired" (some even blatantly copied) songs to his credit.

Thanks a lot sir as I really feel you have analyzed the author's point of view very well and understood my points unlike many who jump to conclusions..:)<br /><br />Only 2 points from my side just to make it a bit more sensical:<br /><br />1. Please dont take those ratings as absolute. They are "relative" numbers. All those MDs were great and genius and experimental, that is why they are in my top 5. It is only someone scoring some points more than others on a particular parameter. Since, I thought SC and RD had experimented a bit more(not that SJ were little, by any means), I had to relatively give them a bit more marks. Thats it! :)<br /><br />2. Those 1972 to 1986 period snatched away 2 marks from longevity criteria, not that Shankar was not good, but only that there were factors which reduced his shelf life. Ignoring that period(sadly, which I could not as an objective judge here), SJ is much more than what it reflects here.<br /><br />Thanks sir and keep visiting! :)Arghyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657825789357099081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-12391897797052021892012-09-19T21:12:13.910+05:302012-09-19T21:12:13.910+05:30Dear Arghya, though I am a hard core SJ fan, I lik...Dear Arghya, though I am a hard core SJ fan, I liked your article which is very honestly written and analysed. I would differ on the score of Experiment and Genius since SJ did not leave any of experiment be it in orchestration, arrangement or percussion fields. Had they got the improved technologies in their times, no other music directors would have scored over them. The best example is Ye Raat Bheegi-Bheegi and Dil Ki Nazar Se Nazron ke dil se. Kishore Kumar's "Aaj Na Jaane Paagal Manwa" is the best example of youdelling whereas 'Nakhrewaali" scores many times better on other MDs. However, I would not like to disagree with your observations. In My view, SJ's way of composing music is still followed by many, even RD too followed them and after SJ, it was RD, whose style was adopted on by a large section of composers. But after all my point for you is 100/100.

And I totally agree with you that after RD stepped into SD courtroom as an assistant, the arrangement of SD definitely went up(it was already great, but it just went greater). Similalrly, the musical school of SD has always influenced RD to reveal his other "softer" side, especially in those Shakti Samanta, Gulzar or Hrishikesh Mukherjee films.

Agree with you mostly [fully in case of Salil C and Karta] - my views differ a bit when it comes to RD and MM though. But this as you mention is your own point system so it takes nothing away from the lovers of these MDs and their music. Agree that Karta had a hand in moulding KK and RD but even his own musical arrangements benefited to some extent from the experimental ingenuity of RD [whom you gave 10/10 in that domain]. Overall, great reading and keep coming up with such nice posts.<br /><br />Regards,<br />ArupArup Bhanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127600371157418753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-57501187754514040732012-09-12T19:41:48.152+05:302012-09-12T19:41:48.152+05:30Thanks sir.

And in other mentioned criteria also, I have not given him less, but it is only that I feel in certain factors some other person deserves a bit more points. And I have tried to explain them also. :)<br /><br />And of course, since at the end of the day it is an individual's choice, there would be arguements. But I hope it is not a baseless choice.

But on one thing that I won't argue with you is why Sachinda at 1st place. <br /><br />But even in Sachinda's case, I will argue with you on why he got less points on versatility, experimentation, genius, use of singer-originality and the X factor". <br /><br />And, to Sachinda's credit I will add one more column of 'Leaving behind a legacy by way of training of Kishore and RDB, which no other composer did, and that alone will give him 10/10, taking him much ahead of the rest of all his contemporaries, including those not mentioned here. <br /><br />Let us remember that everyone will come out with a different list, these are my views, but this is your selection. <br /><br />Congratulations for doing a great job.Moti Lalwaninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556566360743437790.post-41025370879349086762012-09-12T18:13:43.747+05:302012-09-12T18:13:43.747+05:30Thanks Mrinal Da.
