Present songs are better...

I find it strange when people say that the present songs are crap and rubbish with no lyrics and with some stupid music by some daft music director done in a jiffy. Sorry folks, I don't believe this. I have been listening to Bollywood music since many decades and know most of the songs. Yes, you may be right in saying earlier the music used be less in the background and lyrics were given importance. But you are forgetting the fact that those days there used to be practically no competition amongst playback singers, the singer had to be a Lata, Asha, Kishore, Mohd Rafi or a Mukesh..that's all. Each song used to be composed in few months to few years with minimal usage of instruments. Now, the competition is tremendous, there are singers dime a dozen, each better than the other. Same song is sung sometimes by three singers in the same movie e.g. in the movie Special 26 the song Kaun Mera was sung by A Mahanta ( Papon ), Sunidhi Chauhan and a newcomer Chaitra Ambadpudi, and Chaitra sang the best.
We love old songs because we have grown with those songs, not because they are better. The present songs are equally good rather better, trust me...!!
