Great topic. 

My personal favorites in terms of music quality would be GURU and 
Life in a Metro. 

GURU - is an album with an excellent variety of songs. Must say that 
compared to ARR standards, probably not one of his best but still 
mindblowing. Aye Hairathe and Mayya have in a way redefined a genre 
of music each, and that's really awesome. Sorry to say, but Baazi 
laga still remains a skip-track for me.

LIFE IN A METRO - is an album that just surprised me, and continues 
to surprise me. Pritam has indeed come up with a soundtrack to last a 
lifetime. The rock feel to the songs is something that many MDs used 
to shy away from, while Pritam has created a full blown sountrack 
with that feel. On close listens, one can be inspired by the 
classical touches in the songs (music before the 2nd para in Alvida, 
In Dino paragraphs), the singing (esp KK in Alvida), the melodious 
use of guitars (in all the songs!). Additionally the soundtrack 
really flows with the movie, and the tunes compliment the lyrics very 
well. Picks of the album (hard to do) would be Alvida, In Dino and O 
meri jaan; but Baatein Kuch Ankahin, Rishtey are just as equally 
good. 

On a special mention, SEL have done a decent job in Salaam-e-ishq (a 
fun album), and excellent experimentation in Johnny Gaddar (the title 
and Move you body are compositions that could put the International 
rock and R&B songs to shame).

posting it. I expected tight competition in 2007. But nothing 
happening. Look at jhoom barabar jhoom,oso,saawariya,ta ra rum 
pum,metro etc. These albums didn&#39;t reach the standard what i 
expect.

Om,and if OSO as a movie turns out to be a hit..then i feel it would 
be Om Shanthi Om all the way this year..     Guru is an amazin 
album,but when

Hi all in 2007 there are many albums released so far. I think GURU is 
the best album in this year. Both SAAWARIYA and OSO don&#39;t match 
the standard of GURU. Will ARR rule 2007 with GURU like he did with 
RDB? Eagerly
