RE:Top 10 Singers of Recent Time

Himesh is even worse than 10 foxes howling at night. If I am given a choice to listen to either hyenas or Himesh, I would pick hyenas.
Kishore Kumar was/is the best of all. Till now in any function, be it filmy or social, his songs only are sung. His easy movement in every type of songs made us bemused. His popularity is beyond sky. Kishore Kumar only had the same voice compatible with his singing voice and speaking voice. After you hear the voice of Md Rafi, you cannot believe that he is possessed with such a golden voice. Hence, Kishore Kumar was only having the open voice. After Kishore Kumar, Md Rafi, Mukesh, Hemant Kumar, Manna Dey (male voices), there is no singer today worth listening.

Kishore kumar is a top singer no doubt but his songs are very one dimsensional and not of the class of Rafi .
You have your opinion and fair enough but the fact remains that Rafi ruled and rules to date. One has to liste to his songs from 40's through to 80's to judge why he is the guru of all singing gurus.

Kishore Kumar did not have such great music directors as that of Md Rafi. Rafi has become immortal due to those music directors. Then those music directors did not even care of Kishore Kumar. Both had sung commercial songs mostly. Only difference between was that Md Rafi was possessed with classical richness in his voice
1950 -1970 Rafi Mukesh Manadey Mahendra Kapoor Hemant da
1970 -1977 Kishore Rafi Yesudas
1977 -1980 Rafi Kishore Yesudas Shailendra
after 1980 -- complete fall down in standards of playback singing and music in general.
It is clear that one name stands out in the male singing criteria and that is of Rafi, without any doubt the complete naster of siging, the best of the best.

saigal saab was in 1930s and balu was after 80s. Balu was a good singer in south india but he sucks in hindi movies. he sings with a very heavy accent and apart from ek duje ke liye, MPK, HAHK he didnt sing much in hindi anyway.
If anyone wants to see the living example of how human being evolves from apes and how did they look like then you can see Emran Hasmi, when he laughs it looks like he is just evolved from Apes, HEHE.

Seems u do not have knowledge about Music...How can you forget legends like Mohd. Rafi, Asha Bhonsle & Mukesh...Lata was known for her monopolistic attitude...Asha was a real genius...else Lat would have played havoc with her carrier.....So get your facts right Abhijit..

You are not right Mr. Vinay, check the list of ladies by Abdul Karim, he has put Lata - hindu by birth on the topmost number. He had a choice of Suraiya if Abdul Karim was communal.
