no way,gyan.......i always love IR for his gr8 earthy music......it's just that he criticised ARR in few of his interviews that ARR fans got a bad impression on him.....otherwise IR is the best and make no mistake abt. it....i have been in this stand for many years.....ARR is the best outsourced Tamil product in history of TN......ARR is born for ruling the world with a tamil tag......IR is born for ruling TN......

TR Paappaa used to be the old time DEVA! He will copy all the popular Hindi tunes into pleasing numbers. Most of Jaishankar's JamesBond type of movies were MD'ed by him. He was a favorite of Modern Theaters who produced these movies.
Since he didn't give himself any title, nobody dared to name him as 'Copy ThenRal'!!
From: e (@ 136.1.1.101) on: Tue Jun 22 09:42:43 EDT 2004

SK, I think you meant `vEdA' and not TR Pappa...Veda was doing all the replays from Hindi and elsewhere...
From: SK (@ 199.90.34.67) on: Tue Jun 22 11:20:47 EDT 2004

Could be!
Anyway, here we go!
One more MD added to the list!! vEdA

i have seen most of these accolades in movies except (Mambo) no 5!
From: Chumma (@ 144.42.9.100) on: Tue Jun 22 14:09:22 EDT 2004

That's a name referring ("Machee, Agni Natcharathula namba Mottai ennama pinni yeduthirukku theriyuma") him in our collge campus (early 90s). I don't know if it was common in other colleges that time.

Simmam kumar is the best MD. I couldn't stop laughing when he copied ENRIQUE IGLESIAS "Bailamos" on one of the duets. Simmam kumar rocks and he automatically claims a place next to ARR, Deva in the anals of inspired MD.

=D
From: Gyan (@ 4.158.114.49) on: Wed Jun 23 19:48:09 EDT 2004

OK, I am tempted to give my top 10 also ;----)

1. MSV / TKR; GR; Subbaiah Naidu; Ilaiyaraaja
2. KVM, MSV, IR
3. Ilayaraja, Mellisai Mannan, KVM
4. Ilayaraaja, KVM, MSV
5. V Kumar, Sankar-Ganesh, Gangai Amaran
6. Sankar Ganesh, V Kumar, Sathyam
7. Vijay Bhasker, Shyam, V Dakshinamoorthy
8. Salil Choudhury / Veda / T R Pappa

Here are the 9 & 10 spots: (if they are one and the same composer, that composer should be in 9 and No. 10 will be

9. The composer who composed one great song in Uyire and Yen Swase Kaatre
10. The composer who composed one great song in Padayappa and one in Sangamam

11 or 10: The composer who composed one great for auto drivers tieing with composer who composed the widely pervasise lolluby called Edho Oru Paattu

I think ARR' "name" will feature in the top 10 when he gets atleast 3 hits songs in 4 "hit" movies.
From: KummY (@ 66.131.253.57) on: Wed Jun 23 22:30:52 EDT 2004

Gyan,

Thanks for summing up all the MDs in tfm so far.

I think what the thread starter intended was certainly not "Please try to mention all tfm mds in 10 different groups"
