Year 2008 will indeed go down as one of the most historic one for the lovers of quality film music as it will be remembered as the year when Bollywood's most revered and talented and extremely choosy music director, of this era, A. R. Rahman bestowed upon his fans four superlative albums. Starting with Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum-opus JODHAA AKBAR followed by ADA - A WAY OF LIFE, Aamir Khan's JAANE TU... YA JAANE NA and the most recent one, Subhash Ghai's YUVVRAAJ. Needless to add that all these albums were classy and a hit with the patrons of good quality music, barring ADA- A WAY OF LIFE (commercially). His long term association with perfectionist actor, Aamir Khan has always brought out the best in Rahman (RANGEELA, LAGAAN, MANGAL PANDEY and RANG DE BASANTI) and naturally expectations assume humungous proportions as his last album, GHAJINI, makes it to the stands this year itself. The Tamil version of GHAJINI had some rocking music by the top music director of South India, Harris Jayaraj. And with music maestro, A.R.Rahman at the helm this time around, with help in the lyrical department from the new age lyricist, the intellectually brilliant Prasoon Joshi (their RDB was path breaking), things can only get better. So, without wasting time let us check out the GHAJINI audio.

Sonu Nigam's cupid struck humming and mandolin strums commence 'Guzarish' as he serenades the listeners, transporting them into a beautiful make belief romantic world, through this stunningly striking love ballad. Much like the signature tune of Rahman's last romantic track from the album, YUVVRAAJ ('Tu Meri Dost Hai') this love ballad too relies heavily on Sonu's haunting background hummings to create the subtle love effect. Here though, Sonu Nigam is the guest vocalist and is present only for the humming part, which is incorporated in the beginning, in between and also in the end. But don't be disappointed as Rahman's new favourite, Javed Ali ('Jashn-E-Bahara') holds fort quite strongly with his crackling strong vocals. Javed Ali is a revelation here, as in 'Jashn-E-Bahara' his vocals were quite base and deep to match Hrithik while here Javed's superb voice modulations are in sync with Aamir's perfect and smooth ones. Only his diction presents a minor problem which needs to be corrected. This propositioning number becomes super special because of Prasoon Joshi's lovely lyrics which are simple yet they are awesome, as there cannot be a better word than the urdu word, 'guzarish', meaning request to appear polite and polished . 'Bas ek haan ki guzarish, Phir hogi khushiyon ki barish, Tu meri adhuri pyaas pyaas, Tu aa gayi man ko raas raas, Ab to tu aa ja paas paas, Hai guzarish.' A proposal which cannot be turned down at any cost, such is the effect of the number. So all you guys in love go ahead, it's our 'guzarish' to propose to your beloved with this number this Valentine day and you sure will succeed. An excellent, in fact, a gem of a track from the maestro.

Suzanne is the female vocalist who has been entrusted with the next number, 'Aye Bachchu' . And the number is just right for Suzanne, as she has become a sort of an icon for the songs that require full of attitude, westernized singing. But we are forced to say that if this number was by Pritam, one would have rated it as passable but this comes from Rahman, the musical genius and so, it disappoints. Nothing, but the best is expected of the maestro. May be in his defense we can say that the song is a situational one but it is a let down nevertheless, specially after a cracker of a start in form of 'Guzarish'. Prasoon Joshi's lyrics though situational and apt still disappoint. Once again it's Prasoon, the lyricist of RANG DE BASANTI and TAARE ZAMEEN PAR, so obviously the level of expectancy is much higher. The recent number on this line that we heard was 'Oop Oop Cha' (DRONA) and 'Soniya'(KIDNAP).

Thankfully, Rahman and Prasoon are back to their best with the next track, 'Kaise Mujhe', a classy romantic composition that has a mesmerizing effect on the listeners. The beauty of the number lies in its very smooth, slow paced melody and the lovely musical arrangements in the background. The superb use of 'sitar', piano' lend an air of romance, a number that can be effectively be used in a candlelight dinner by a couple in love or even in ballroom dancing. This is true blue Rahman, the Rahman we all love and revere. And his counterpart, Prasoon Joshi who has always been a superb support too is in full flow. His poetic prowess is diligently brought to the fore through this lovely love ballad. 'Kaise mujhe tum mil gayee, Kismat pe aaye na yakeen' No 'tukbandi' (rhyming words), here. Of course the two singers Benny Dayal (after a splendid JAANE TU... and YUVVRAAJ) and Shreya Ghoshal need to be mentioned, as it is their combined superlative effort that makes this one an outstanding track, though it may not be universally appealing .

Pearl Jam - One of the Best Live Bands; 10 Must Have Songs.

To download for free 10 best Pearl Jam songs click on the song name

They've been called one of the best live bands in the world today. If you've ever seen Pearl Jam in concert you'd understand why. No matter what town they're playing, when they're on stage, the electricity in the air is palpable. Lead singer Eddie Vedder is a cross between a shaman and a showman. His on-stage antics are not only engaging but serve as a powerful connection between the seasoned performer and the audience. The rest of Pearl Jam aren't too shabby either. Lead guitarist Mike McCready is an utter maestro on the axe, Matt Cameron pounds away on the skins with top-notch precision, and bassist Jeff Ament and rhythm guitarist Stone Gossard are not only brilliant musicians in their own right but, as the so-called founders of Pearl Jam, will always hold a special place in the heart's of die-hards. So what should you hope for when the setlist start to unfurl? Here's a list of the ten songs you should be hoping to hear should you ever see Pearl Jam in concert:

1) "Alive" - As an adolescent, Vedder was tormented when he learned that the man he thought was his father was not and that his real father was dead. Somehow he managed to turn that personal tragedy into the enormously popular 1991 song, "Alive". But only recently, on a VH-1 Storytellers episode, did Vedder admit that while the song was actually about a down-trodden man dealing with the "curse" of being alive, audiences misinterpreted the lyrics to be one of celebratory rejoice. As it turned out their mistake actually wound up, as Vedder put it, "lifting the curse" for him. The song is performed with great frequency these days and it's a spectacular sight to see the now content Vedder as he joins the audience in their life-affirming testimony

2) "I Got ID" - Pearl Jam originally recorded this song during their sessions with Neil Young and even without his physical presence on stage his raw guitar influence is still prevalent. Hearing the band grind away on this definitive rocking work of art (with the lyrics reportedly based on Vedder's experience with a deeply disturbed stalker) "I Got ID" is a rewarding experience for any audiophile. Perhaps one of the most beloved Pearl Jam songs amongst long-time fans, its intensity becomes obvious to even the most casual listener once its been heard in a live setting.

3) "Masters of War" - Okay granted, this isn't really a Pearl Jam song (let's give Bob Dylan his due credit) but Vedder's soaring vocals are so amazing and the delivery of this anti-war rant are so authoritative, it's hard not to get goose bumps whenever they bust out this rarity. Cameron also adds to the mood by allowing the songto build with the impending doom of a funeral dirge. It may be a volatile song during these politically divisive days but that only adds to the song's fervor.

4) "Parting Ways" - The grand scale of this stunning music is what really sets this song apart from any other tragic tale of lost love. Like many of Pearl Jam's best songs it's a slow burn, building up to an ardent crescendo. If you're lucky enough to get a guest violinist on this song, like the one who appears on the studio recording, it's simply an added bonus to this already intricately layered piece of music.

5) "Come Back" - "Black" may be the most well-known Pearl Jam song about loss and longing but "Come Back", a new song off their self-titled and critically acclaimed 2006 album, has already made quite an impression on audiences. Written as a tribute to Vedder's best friend, belated musician Johnny Ramone, its stark simplicity makes it all the more heartbreaking and vulnerable. By the time Vedder begins to wail away at the end, begging his friend to come back to him, you'll be lucky if you can find a dry eye in the house.

6) "Betterman" - Pearl Jam has become one of those bands whose legions of devoted fans will sing along loudly to whatever songs they choose to play on any given night. "Betterman", perhaps their biggest mainstream hit outside of "Last Kiss", has become the ultimate sing-a-long song at any Pearl Jam concert. It's reached the point where Vedder will simply stand back and allow the crowd to take over not just the song's intro but, on some occasions, even the first few verses. While the sound of 20,000 people singing in unison can produce a magical moment, it's nothing compared to the impassioned play between the members of Pearl Jam throughout this hopelessly catchy pop masterpiece.

7) "Release" - Part of the excitement of a Pearl Jam show is their ever changing setlist. These are not your average cookie cutter shows. Each night is crafted specifically to fit any given mood. As a result you're never certain if you're going to be greeted with a hard-rocking number or an emotionally charged one like "Release". Written in honor of the dearly departed father Vedder never knew, this beautifully crafted song can serve as a haunting opener to shows often filled with a slew of touching and deeply personal moments.

8) "Go" - It's a silly song essentially, especially after Vedder publicly admitted that it was written about his beat-up truck, but its the frantic, near punk frenzy that drives the crowd nuts with excitement. The fact that fifteen years into their career they're still able to pull off such a dynamic piece as "Go" with such confident ease serves as a reminder to fans of how truly gifted Pearl Jam are as musicians.

9) "Rearviewmirror" - Pearl Jam knows how to build to a dramatic climax but "Rearviewmirror" is perhaps their greatest example of that fact. This visceral gem progresses steadily before it explodes into a frenetic clashing of sounds and instruments. The ending usually comes equipped with flashing strobe lights that have to work overtime to keep up with the band's break neck pace. With the firm belief that music should serve as the real focus of any rock concert, Pearl Jam plays on a real bare bones stage. In other words, enjoy the light show. It's the closest you'll ever get to special effects at a Pearl Jam concert.

10) "Do The Evolution" - In the 2003 Pearl Jam DVD Live at the Garden, there is a moment during the fiery "Do The Evolution" where panic clearly creeps on to the face of the seemingly fearless Vedder. He informs the audience later that he grew nervous once he realized that the stage was violently shaking during that song. Having personally heard "Evolution" live a number of times I can testify to the fact that I'm not the least bit surprised - that song could get a room full of corpses jumping.

Ray Charles - Must have songs for your I-pod

Download my top ten Ray Charles songs free.... go to the list.

Choosing a top ten list of songs by Ray Charles is a little difficult. He has so many songs, in a variety of styles that span decades of work. The somewhat recent popular movie based on his life had me thinking of him and his many musical works.

Ray Charles was born Ray Charles Robinson on September 23,1930. He became blind as child for unknown reasons. While some speculate that his blindness could have been caused by glaucoma, there is no definitive answer. Either way, he overcame his handicap to become a well-known pianist, lyricist, and singer who bowled the world over. He sang everything. Rhythm and blues, gospel, country, and pop were encompassed easily in to his work. His simple Albany, Georgia roots inspired him with a gospel sound that continued to influence him throughout his life.

Like most people in generation X one of the first time I really took notice of a Ray Charles song was on the infamous Cosby Show television series. Whether I knew it or not, “Night Time is the Right Time” was a famous Ray Charles song. He was introduced to a whole new generation of people thanks to the Huxtable family.

I grew up in Georgia and was quickly exposed to many of Ray Charles songs throughout my life. The state song “Goergia on My Mind” is one of his best songs in my opinion. It is a love song to his home state and is known the world over. It hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts in no time.

My top ten lists of Ray Charles Songs are: Click on the song name to download

1. Georgia on My Mind
2. Mess Around
3. I Got a Woman
4. What’d I Say
5. Shake Your Tail Feathers
6. You are My Sunshine
7. Unchain My Heart
8. Hit the Road Jack
9. I Can’t Stop Loving you
10. You Don’t Know Me

“Georgia on My Mind” is a sweet ballad with heartfelt words describing the state of his birthplace. It sees nearly impossible to think that a song like this could be sung by a man with hits like “Mess Around” and “ I Got a Woman.” These are upbeat gospel blues inspired pieces that made him famous or infamous in his generation. His gospel takes on these songs offended as many as it inspired. A generation was changed when Ray found his own sound.
