    My favourite album has got 2 b Aman Hayerz Ground Shaker. The tracks r awesome and the man himself is a Ground Shakin Producer. Best tracks on the album have 2 b 'THARTI HILDI' by Angrez Ali Feat G-Money and 'DIL NAI LAGDA' by Feroz Khan & Vinni.

    Even though all bhangra albums are great, my favourite album has to be Groundshaker by Aman Hayer because the songs on this album are absolutely wicked, especially Tharti Hilde. You can never get enough of this album.

    There are loads of quality albums out there by artists such as: PMC, Manak-E, Sukhshinder Shinda, Jazzy-B, Specialist n Tru-skool, Dr Zeus, Mahsopuria. But there my favourite album has got to be Unstoppable by RDB. It has some quality tunes including Daru ft. Rydem Ryder and the man - Lembher Hassainpuri. Also, the album had some hilarious skits to round off a near-perfect collection of 15 or so songs.

    PMC da man who smashed it wid legalised and the world wide smash hit mundian tu bach ke. All were good in the 80's e.g heera, alaap, malkit, b21, but pmc 'done it GOOD'.

    XLNC - Forever, I love this album, the song dil and lal dupattey vali were anthems. Wicked tunes top album!

    diamonds 4rom heera
    one of best albums about in da late 80s heera were da bad boys of bhangra give it up 2 dhami and kumar

    G Man
    Word is Born is my fav at the moment, jus rips it

    Cool & Deadly (HEERA)
    This album up to today i think is one of the best albums produced up to today. The music produced back in the day by Deepak Kazanchi, could never be done again, and the track by the deadly Dhami & Kumar...NEED A COME BACK... All of thier albums are heavy... Diomands from Heera, Jag Wala Mela etc...

    Hiren, Nuneaton
    It's All about......E=MC and his phat tunes on, 'Call It What You Want'. Smash Hits like 'Mahi Veh Mahi', 'Pyal' and 'Nachana Teraya' really sums up this album and aint Lehmbher Hussainpuri doing a wicked job on it too?.....Quite simply - an album that you cannot mess about with! Awesome Stuff!

    every type of bhangra is wicked but you have to go more with the beat more than the song words

    Tauseefhumayun - Old Trafford
    ABRAR-UL-HAQ is my favourite album

    Jazz, London
    Panjabi MC's Legalised would be top of my list - not only does it include the heavy Mundian to Bach Ke, but this album helped desi music’s assault on the UK mainstream. PMC everytime!
