So with this list, I am done with the golden period of Hindi film music. In the 1980s, the class of film music was  not that great. It started to improve from late 80s and the class of music was above average during this period. After that the era of digital music started, when music was digitally recorded separately and playback singer then recorded the lyrics in his voice, the era of live recording was almost over, and thus quality of music started suffering. Even today there are certain FM channel on Radio and musical channel on TV which devote maximum time on their channel by playing songs from this golden era.
