Among the list of 20 personally I like “Ami Banglai Gaan Gai”; ranked 6th in the list. No matter how many times I listen to the song, I never get bored of it. If I were to submit my favorite 5 songs, my list would have been:
1. Ami Banglai Gaan Gai
2. Coffee House er Shei Adda ta aaj aar nei
3. Muse Jawa Din Gulo Amay Je Pisu Daake
4. Bashi Shune Aar Kaaj Nai (not in this list)
5. Manush Manush er Jonne

All the songs are great. If I list my top 5 I will replace bbc’s #5 with #6. I think almost all the people loves the song “Ami banglai gaan gai”. Cheers — Moin
I like all the songs in the list, but not in the order they are. Like, no. 20 – “Tumi Ki Dekheso Kobhu Jibeoner Porajoy”, would have been in the top 3 of my personal list. Anyway, all these songs are master pieces, I think. So no matter in what order they are they convey our voices and desires.
Interesting mix. All songs deserve the mention.
However as this was a listener submitted list and BBC Bangla does have older slant to its listenrship I tend to belive that it biases the outcome a bit.
Missing songs like “Dhiki Dhiki” and “Akasher Tikhana” by Miles, “Bangladesh” by James, “Ami Premay Porini” by Ayub Bacchu, “Mela” by Feedback + Bangla, Black, Cryptic Fate would all have gotten slots if a younger profile actively took part in the poll.
Anyways a great list all the same!
