This best-of can only scratch the surface of Rahman's megaselling catalog, which dabbles in Indian classical music, Qawwali, rock and even Finnish folk song. His symphonic fare can sound unnervingly like Enya with tablas. But all of his pieces have a sweeping grandeur — and tunes like "Rang De Basanti" boast beats that rappers will be jacking for years to come.
