My ranking : 1.Thiruda Thiruda (Cant explain enough of the beauty of this album) 2.Iruvar (A score which surprised us all. Poo Koodiyin was a beautiful tribute to MSV and the 1960s music, Narumugaiye was magical and the brilliant Hello Mr.Ethirkatchi... wow...!!). 3.Alaipayuhey (Manasum Alai Paindethe...All the songs didnt create ripples, but it was a tsunami... Sneghidne and Pacchai Nirame r evergreen. Yaaro Yarodi was a new genre... Kadhal Sadugudu...my goodness... beautiful...) 4.Kannathil Muttamittal (an album which spells Quality in every corner of the songs. Vellai Pookal, Kannathil Muttamittal, and Vidai Koode engal Naade. The lyrics in Vellai Pookal... hmmm... it shows why Vairamuthu-ARR combo is unbeatable...) 5.Roja (Pudhu Vellai Malai, Kadhal Rojave = sheer beauty...) 6.Aayitha Ezhutu (Yaakai Thiri, Sandha Kozhi kozhi, Hey goodbye nanba.... top class quality songs...) 7.Bombay (Kannalane, Uyire Uyire and the Theme music was the best.The rest was very passable, IMHO.) 8.Uyire/Dil Se (Uyire was a better album IMHO, Nenjinile was rendered beautifully by S.Janaki [listen to the way she finished the song, she's a legend!]. Thaiyya Thaiyya by Sriram had more energy and power in it. Poongatrile... Do i need to say it? Its just divine...the lyrics had a soul in it...) 9.Guru (Ay Hairathe and Tere Bina was beautiful not doubt .But the typical Mani-ARR magic was seen nowhere in this album except for the theme music track sung by ARR and Chitra.)
Yet to listen to Raavanan, as it is not released. Not interested in Raavan as i always give preference to Mani-ARR-Vairamuthu combo. Nothing beats this combo in India. So ill give the respect for it and wait for Raavanan. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Taimur Nadeem <taimur.nad...@...> wrote: > > its tough tough tough, ok here i go >  > THIRUDA THIRUDA ( Year 3010 Thiruda Thiruda will still be the best, > its pinnacle of world music ) > DIL SE                  ( Earths equilibrium can be > disturbed by its music) > ALAIPAYUTHE      ( A DIVINE album) > ROJA                    ( came ,saw, conquered) > BOMBAY              ( Even the greatest musical genius cant > make a song like kehna hi kya , see yourself than what really is the > status of A R RAHMAN ) > YUVA                  ( Yuva rocks always) > KANNATHIL MUTHMATHIL > IRUVAR > GURU > RAAVAN >  > regards, >  > taimur > --- On Fri, 4/30/10, kishore parayath <kishore.paray...@...> wrote: > > > From: kishore parayath <kishore.paray...@...> > Subject: Re: [arr] Ranking of Mani-ARR albums > To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com > Date: Friday, April 30, 2010, 2:48 AM > > >  > > > > > > 1- THIRUDA THIRUDA > 2- IRUVAR > 3-  ROJA > 4-  BOMBAY > 5-  KANNATHIL MUTHAMITTAAL > 6-  ALAIPAYUTHE > 7- DIL SE > 8- GURU > 9- YUVA > 10- RAAVAN >
