I would say hes the second best vocalist in Pakistan right now. He is also, perhaps the most underrated of them all. I remember Junaid Jamshed telling me that even he attended a Najam concert when he was still in college, so yeah, najams been around for a while. How many of you think hes underrated? Why hasnt he received the success a vocalist of his potential should have? Personally, I would say he was not part of a band, thats why.
p.s. Those who know nothing about Pakistani music, please dont give your opinions (like you did in the other live performance thread).
He's no number 2. he's number one by far the best vocalsit in Pakistan. Ali Azmt would be number 2 if you talking about pop/rock msuic. and Number 3 RAHIM SHAH zindabaaaaaad

Well, obviously, hes got people with him, but he still uses the solo name when releasing albums. At present I would rate him as the second best, but everyone1 has their own opinions. I am sure if he was part of a big band, he would have done wonders.
Im glad spock that you brought up this topic. Najam is definetly very underrated is an excellent vocalist. But I believe its his choice of music which has led to this. I remember his album "Roop Nagar", it was a master piece. Then came an all punjabi album "Pyaar Karan Nu Dil Karda", and then a rock album "Jaisey Chaho Jiyo."
Experimentation is good, but he should have associated himself to one kind of music before experimenting a lot. For example Junoon, Deewar was pretty different then the stuff they had been coming out with for the last few years, but was still a success.

Yep, that makes sense. Was 'in se nen milla kar dekho' part of Roop Nagar as well?

JJ attending a Najam concert while he was in college?
who was in college Najam or JJ
thats coz both of them belong to the same intitution from where i studied
i.e University of engineering and technology Lahore (UET Lahore)
plus i did my matriculation from the same school where JJ did his, and even meet him once when he visited the school (now a degree college)
in UET Lahore JJ was in the session 1983...meaning his studies started in 1983 and ended in the end of 1988 (coz my elder brother was also from the same session).... while Najam joined UET in 1990 in the civil engineering dept (he never completed his degree and left)
if you are saying that the concert was when JJ was in college than it means between 1980-1983 and at time Najam would have been a student of class 3-5
so can you clear this out
that who was in college and who attened the concert ?
He has a very deep voice. His song 'meri tanhaayon tum hee laga lo mujh ko seenay se' has been one of my all time favorite songs. His live performances are too good, one of the best performers on stage.
