Here is interview of Radha mangeshkar, niece of Lata ji and here again she says SJ are her fav and even gives a brilliant example.

Radha Hridaynath Mangeshkar

Q Who are your favourite composers among the seniors?
My all-time favourites are Shankar-Jaikishan, and it is sad that todays generation isnt aware of their work and are forgetting them. The media is promoting just one or two composers from among the legends, which is not right. Even today when I hear a Hai na bolo bolo from Andaz, I can sense their calibre in the individual violin and other pieces and the way they have been composed and integrated, even though the song is nowhere among their best.Their versatility is phenomenal. I also particularly love the works of Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Madan Mohan.

Q .Do you regret coming in an era when you cannot sing for them or any other legends?
Well, if I could have sung for Shankar-Jaikishan, I wouldn�€™t have minded missing out on all the others!

Q In the song Thakun basli maay ga, you sound remarkably like the Lata of the early ‘50s
................The utpatti (origin) happened with Noorjehanji and within a few years came Lata Mangeshkar. In 1949, similarly, Shankar-Jaikishan gave us the origin of film music as a distinct entity with Barsaat. To date, every singer and composer is following their base or patterns, and let’s face it, there is no choice but to follow them!
Q. You seem to have made your own profound study of Hindi film music down the decades.
I have, because I am very much into music. Look at even the classical songs of S-J – they never sounded like the typical classical songs, and yet they were pure classical too and yet had that unique film flavour.......
