Guy 1- Track Record--- Roja (National Award, Filmfare), Bombay (Filmfare, included in "1000 albums to listen to before you die"), Rangeela (Filmfare), Jeans (Filmfare), Dil Se (Filmfare), Taal (FIlmfare), Rhythm, Lagaan (National Award, Filmfare), Saathiya (Filmfare), The Legend of Bhagat Singh (Filmfare), Yuva, Swades (Filmfare), Rang De Basanti (Filmfare), Guru (Filmfare), Sivaji (Filmfare), Jodhaa Akbar (Filmfare, Background Score), JTYJN (Filmfare), Slumdog Millionaire (Academy, Golden Globe, Grammy, World Soundtrack), Delhi 6 (Filmfare), Ye Maya Chesave, Ghajini, Yuvvraj, 127 Hours.
Quality--- The tunes, the melody, insane chords, great presentation, choice of singers, number of genres his style covers.
Status--- On a sabbatical from Bollywood music.
Guy 2- Track Record--- Maachis, Godmother (National Award), Omkara, Kaminey, Ishqiya (last two nominated for National Award), 7 Khoon Maaf
Quality--- the soft compositions, the newly adapted rock style of composition, awesome style of foreign inspirations.
Status--- still composing for Bollywood, sticking to his original ways of composing
Guy 3- Track Record--- Aamir, Dev D (National Award, Filmfare), Wake Up Sid's Iktara (Global Indian Music Award), Udaan (Giffoni's Best Music, Filmfare for Background, Global Indian Award), Aisha, No One Killed Jessica
Quality--- the Coldplay inspiration, feel good compositions, insanity in chord selections, rhythm, melody.
Status--- in his best form, composing for Bollywood, might be a good replacement for Guy 1.
All the above mentioned composers have been amongst the most promising music directors of Indian history, and the point is they are still to create music for the Indian Music Industry. Without any of the above three, an incompleteness would be felt in the Bollywood music; Guy 3 being the fresh-most of the 3.
The crux of this post is the fact that these three can't be compared, and at each point of time, one proves to be the best.
But, Guy 1 will never be "replaced" totally. Going through his songs would make you believe that.
In the end, although it is all clear:
Guy 1- AR Rahman
Guy 2- Vishal Bharadwaj
Guy 3- Amit Trivedi
Music Rocks!
