The problem with rahman is that he has inexaustible and unemptiable stuff..so within a song itself he keeps improvisin and doesnt repeat the same line again and again however impressive it is..hope u all would hav noticed it..one example..in mayya mayya song,the violin bit in between the lines 'souda raat ka' and 'toudi chand ki'(forgive me if llyrics r wrong) is so catchy and amazin to hear..but it comes in a undermined fashion..its not very sharp to hear..there are thousands of other example.. the problem with rahman is that he is an unassumin genius..doesnt bother to keep repeatin the same tune just because its great..he instead gives many other such interludes..in a single song..so the listeners at first time are over loaded and not able to retain one particular tune..so they dismiss the song as 'not so impressive'.where as in case of harris..he has limited stuff ..hnce if he scores ont good tune..he keeps repeatin it in the song till the listeners absorb it completely.. hope u can relate with my point.. another problem is yet again the extra calibre of rahman..he keeps complicatin the tune and doesnt present it in as simple a manner as others do..thats not his fault..his brain never rests and tries to improvise till the end..and the enormous amt of layerin which can be enjoyed by unfoldin every layer at each time of listenin and not at the very first time.. One big thing which is missin in th Listeners is PATIENCE..which can wipe out all the above stated 'draw backs' of rahman..
