I agree..wish ppl would stop arguing abt who likes which album/why/why not and all that..its a matter of taste. Plz don't try and impose ur opinions on anyone.
Also, recently some1 posted that if you don't like any Raavan or any other Rahman's album, don't post it on this group. I think that is just ridiculous!! So, are we only and only going to praise everything Rahman does ??..Come on guys...be realistic..its the mix of opinions..good/bad and all the different points of view whjich ppl bring forth on this forum which makes it interesting. If anyone doesn't like any album or any other issue abt Rahman's music, he has the right to put it forward . Being a Rahman fan does NOT mean that u have to only like and praise each and every thing. We all have our expectations from the maestro and we should be given right to air our opinions, as long as they don't get personal. Anish.
