Nabin Bhattarai isn't the best, at least in my opinion. The best musicians have to be unique, their music has to contain authentic innovative style. Nabin sounds good, he is talented but he is no where close to Nepathya. Nabin Bhattarai music is geared toward young girls and his music really sounds like a girl singing. His music is basically a Hindi pop, only translated into Nepali.

You can listen to Nepathya and tell the world this is "Nepali music." Nepathya single handedly created Village-Pop, which is the sytle most newcomers try to immitate. Success of Nepathya paved the doors to musicians from outside of the Kathmandu valley. Their enermous popularity reminds us that we Nepalis like sentimental pop music, yet love for Nepali tunes run in our blood. You need to check your pulse if you don't think Amrit Gurung is the best vocalist in Nepal.

I totally agree with u santosh. the two best bands are nepathya and 1974 ad. no one even comes close. best vocalist alive is Amrit Gurung of Nepathya.
heck, two best bands in the entire world are Nepathya and 1974 AD. Had they been some band in US or some European country, they would have been popular worldwide. 1974 ad have some good english songs as well. 1974 ad and nepathya both can sing any kind of songs. from lok geet to rock.

i have to admit, nabin K. is pretty good. infact, he is very good. mukti and revival are good too and so is okeely. Robin and Looza? give me a break. Have u heard their remix of "jati maya laye pani". it sucks. if u want to hear a good remix of "jati maya laye pani" listen to 1974 ad's remix of it. its excellent. guitar work is suparb. ramkrishna dhakal is OK. not that good.

i urge all u to go see 1974 ad if they come to Cali. i know that they are coming to virginina for the ANA convention.

What? Are y'all on crack? Nabin Bhattarai is awesome. He's probably the best singer out there. As for Loocha, or whover, I have no idea who he is. I haven't even heard of 1974. Nepathya is aight.
