I reallt am not sayin anything about your criticism or compliments, but i will say that you should consider research before you assume or state anything. Find all of the facts before conveying your information. The greatest test of all time is not an orchestra or a symphony, who gave that type of music the highest grade? One type of usic cannot be compared to a complete different kind, they are all types of art that should be respected differently yet equally. That is fine is ARR is not your favorite composer , not everyone likes the same things, but its so not right to have your first post being like this without even knowing the basis of the group. And let me ask you what is a composer? The definition of a composer, COMPOSER: a person who writes music. Go look it up yourself. A R Rahman writes his own music. does he not?does he copy other peoples music? no so he writes his own. so he is a composer and a full one at that, because he meets the definition, does he not? Look man im not tryin to say your opinion is wrong because opinions cannot be wrong. they are not facts.if he isnt your favorite, thats fine we are all different. But you should really do some research on your facts. other than that, your opinions are always welcome.
