From the above list you can judge the quality of music in that decade, all these songs are still popular and you can hear them on daily basis on some FM channel or other.The music of that era had a shelf life, not like music of present days,  you forget most of the songs after one week of listening.  From the top list every song of the particular film’s album was hit, and above mentioned are the most famous songs from the particular film.

Friends I hope you must have enjoyed going through this blog, and for some of you it must be very nostalgic to go back to that era.
