was not expecting these. I am yet to read your tastes 100%
Moser, I was not taking this listing seriously till I ready your note. There are too many albums that I like to say which is my ten best. And like the weather, my tastes in music is also seasonal. I might like an album very much one month, and can't stand the sight of it the next month. Sometimes I saturate myself so much with some music that my senses scream for some mercy. I am crazy enough to listen to one song repeatedly some 25 times in a day if I like the song a lot.
Anyhow what I have done is that I hurriedly went through my albums and picked some 30 albums that brought a smile to my face. I have not included Tamil Films Songs, Carnatic, nor Hindustani. Believe me, I have not included genres such as Beatles, Tom Jones, Eagles and a host of other that I also love. This is a very random selection.

I cannot resist a comment - venkat you surprise me - was not expecting these. I am yet to read your tastes 100%
Coming to the remaining selection, well I do have most of them or at least have heard them. Notable absentees are Beautiful Sunday - 21 Gems For the 21st Century, but I could not find any group with this name. Even Google is giving me results to real gems and other precious stones. Please give us more information on this group/album, genre, etc. I've not heard Kitaro and really don't know how Isao Tomita compares to him, but have a lot of Isao Tomita. Just reading up on Seiji Ozawa and I'm thinking you listen to a lot of Japanese music? Have not heard Ned Miller, The Dave Brubeck Quartet or The Kingston Trio either. I will start with some of their greatest hits compilations from Amazon and then go on from there. Again, not much into classical music so not much into Beethoven, Ravi Shankar, etc.
Good to see your list,
Paloma Blanca & Save all your kisses for me, is my favourite too.
I hope you would have heard the following songs,
KungFu-Fighting, Hey Fattie BomBom, Thats the way I like it, Foot loose,
Laura's Theme from Dr.Zhivago, Coffee Song- Osibisa, You sexy thing,
Pop corn at the movies, Boogie Nights One way ticket.
Oh Yes. This is a really hilarious song about an Indian doctor. It mimics Indians, but it stops short of making fun of Indians as a whole. My children love it.20. Goodness Gracious Me by Peter Sellers & Sophia Loren
My picks.this list is purely based on the program (music) and not by the recording quality. This is THE music that really touches my heart. When ever I play any of these albums , I instantly get immersed into the music, it simply captures me , captivates me and then Electronics, the room and all other just disappears and what remains is the music and me, and at the end we (me and the music) become one single entity.

Suhas bhai,
This is scary to me now. I've not heard any of the artists/albums mentioned here with the exception of Miles Davis and I do have the album Kind Of Blue, but that's about it. I've very little exposure to classical music if any. I've ordered Jazz At The Pawnshop as recommended by Sharad bhai, but still awaiting delivery. Seeing that you've listed quite a few Indians I assume they should be available at the local Music World. I will start with a couple of the albums you've listed and go on from there. I thought I will start with Night Melodies by Dr. Prabha Atre since another friend too was recommending it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Santhu and thanks so much for sharing. I'm happy seeing a list that is so common with mine. I probably have all of Bryan Adams albums. One album that's a must have if any from Bryan Adams is the album Reckless. It's a classic from the 1980s (well I might get panned for calling it a classic), but it does have great standout tracks like Run to You and Summer Of '69, but all the songs are good and its a very satisfying album for Bryan Adams' fans. Seeing you've got his Greatest Hits collection that does cover all his hits, but I must admit I was crazy about (Everything I Do) I Do It For You when it came out. Loved the movie too. I've not heard Lucky Ali's Sifar, but I do have KK's Pal and Atif Aslam's Doorie. I must admit Doorie is a standout track. Been hearing it off and on since it came out. BTW Atif's Pehli Nazar Mein track from the movie Race too is pretty awesome. Very melodious. Coming to ARR I have all his albums (more or less), but would rate his Rangeela the best. I have Shania Twain's Come On Over, it's a great album indeed. Her Up album is also good, I especially love the track I'm Gonna Getcha Good. Coming to Malayalam songs, well one of my very best friends is a mallu and he recommended only one song to me till now (well actually he is more into classical music). It was Lajjavathiye Ninte from the movie 4 The People. It's an amazing track and one I've heard so many times that I've lost count. I will check with my friend if he has the albums you've listed so I can borrow and check them out. I've not really followed Jatin Lalit per se. I do however love Shankar Ehsaan Loy's Dil Chahta Hai score. Thanks once again for sharing, much appreciated.
I have been very hesitant to post on this topic, as i have heard none of the songs mentioned by venkat/moserw and others..
i have only heard carpenters (and the other regulars like who the f^&* is Alice, hotel calif and nothing else matters. There was another son called " August rain" by jethro tull which used to appeal to me) in my college days on a small sony walkman powered 2- 3" speakers enclosed in ahollow tube made of our wasted engineering drawings..Wow what days!.. and we used to have people from other rooms to listen to our impressive sound system!
My roomies used to hear a lot of western/english music.. but maybe theri choice wasnt all that impressive.. i never grew fond of english music (partial reason was may be i never heard the right songs.. or maybe i could never make the lyrics)
Most of my free time and in my car i listen to Iliayaraaja in telugu and tamil and kannada, lots of kishor in hindi, I also liked a lot of Jatin lalit.
My top ten would be. (forgive me. all regional)
1. Sundari - dalapathi - tamil/telugu
2. manida manida- tamil
3. Yuvakrantiya geete - shivasainya- kannada. You must listen to this song. got a chorus of 100 people 50 male and 50 female.. It is set in a revolutionary context and is amazing. listen to it here: KannadaAudio.com ::: Shiva Sainya
5. Nee meeda naaku idammo - rakshasudu - telugu
6. .. will add slowly to this list...
Regards
Lajjavathiye Ninte was a trend setter in Malayalam film idustry.
I find mostly you prefer rock groups that are from the 1970s or before. How about some of the newer ones like Bon Jovi, GNR, Def Leppard, Aerosmith? You should (if you have not) give Van Halen a try. Amazing rock group and great guitar work. Another rock group with great music and guitar work is The Scorpions. Love them.
Quite correct moser - I do prefer 70s rock. I also have the greatest hits packs of Bon Jovi, GNR, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Scorpions and Van Halen and do listen to them as well. Its just that I dont like them as much as the ones on my earlier list. I dont mean to say that these guys are not good - its just a question of prioritising.
Speaking of Van Halen, does anyone know that the searing guitar riff in the middle of the Beat It song (Michael Jackson) was by Eddie Van Halen ?
