I listened to Modern Talking today over my evening meal. It does not matter what others think about your taste of music.
Arun Thapa's work has definitely stood the test of time for its Nepali-pan. Narayan Gopal(NG) was also a great singer but I don't particularly enjoy listening to his songs anymore except a handful like 'Mohani Laaglaa Hai', 'Maanchhe ko maayaa' and a couple others. The NG song that was supposed to remain a poem and not a song, IMHO, was 'Diutaa Phool Deuraalimaa'. LOL! The truth is a majority of later NG songs were ghazals and that would not appeal to someone trying to listening to some genuine Nepali style music. Don't get me wrong, I love ghazals like those of Jagjit Singh, for example. Narayan Gopal had a lot of Kathmanduites clout who lobbied to award him the 'Swor Samraat'. You could award all the the available awards to him but he won't be on my top 'to Listen to List'. Now I listen to the Udit Narayan's rare radio Nepal songs occasionally and his gifted vocals still come through brilliantly. For example, take a moment to listen to 'Darpan Chhayaa', 'Timi Aauchaau Bhanne Aasai Aashaa maa', the original Kusume Rumaal soundtrack. You will then realize what made Udit Narayn the most celebrated international singer of Nepali origin.
