Ravi,
I didn't heard any songs in Manaivi Solle Mandhiram, also I never heard that there are any good songs in that movie, is it really good?
jdd,
I didn't include any Dubbing movies in my list. In my opinion IR has scored atleast 100 movies in Telugu and almost all of them are good.
Mahanadhi - Except 'Sri Ranga Ranganathanin paadham' none of the songs are worth listening. Eg., 'Peigalai nambadhe' by kamal.
Pattukkoru Thalaivan has only two good songs. Could you able list what are the other songs?
Though Enakkul oruvan has three extraordinary numbers, one song "Enakkul oruvan Yaar Yaar" sung by MV is not worth listening.
Others should be included in the above.

MS,
Vijay is right. It is indeed from MichaelMKR.
In fact this rare song figured only in the first cassette edition and wasn't used in the movie.
And I was glad when Rex found it for me and uploaded to his site.
Singaram,
Mahanadhi has one excellent duet song 'Solladha Raagangal Ennenna' that appeared only in its abbreviated instrumental version in the film (a 'dream' kind of sequence in soft-focus involving Sukanya and Kamal)
You can find the song in Rex's site.

Yes, Manaivi Sollae Manthiram has really good songs, but seldom heard. I list:
Maane Maanghuyilae Madakkulam Manja Poonghilangae...
Aththadi Athisayam..
Mamiyare..Mamanare..(dapanghutthu sort)
Mama Thallippadu..Meduva nee sollikodu..(erotic sort)
The problem is the movie came out about the time of Udaya Geetham...sort of movies where practically there were about 10 IR movies with all having hit songs..perhaps these songs were pushed in the background. Listen to them sure you'd like'em

grAmaththu athyAyam (a flop movie by Rudhraiya)- definitely all songs are good:
1. Aththu mEttula (MV/SJ)
2. oodhakkaththu veesayilE (JC/SJ)
3. vAdAtha rOsAppoo (SPB)
4. poovE, idhu poojaikkAlamE (BSS)

and, jdd, what's wrong with snow(seno?)reeta of Johny?
That song had arrangements much ahead of time and the interludes are extremely good- creating a happy mood overall while maintaining a kind of meloncholy interwoven with flute pieces! It's a signature Raja score!
Any day I'll rate it as a good song from musical view...&lyric? no comments..

on: Thu Jun 22 01:21:13 EDT 2000
kazhugu- there're four songs and all can be rated `above-average':
1. ponnOvium (IR/SJ/Chorus) -personally I'd rate this song GREAT!
2. oru poovanaththila (SPB) -happy solo with folk tough but western style orchestration
3. thEdum dheivam nEril (MV/SJ) -OK song, with a folish tune
4. kAdhalennum thEril -a very different song, for the time of the release (if released today under some big banner, sure to get rave reviews)..alas, I can't remember the name of the singer...
To remember that Rajini films once upon a time had such musical variety, hooooom...(sigh)

Jdd,
I can discuss about each and every album which you have mentioned. But it looks like you haven't heard lot of them.
Ravi,
Thanks for the info.

There are movies with atleast one bad song [or so so song]. Also, good-bad-and-ugly are relative terms. You may like some below-average song and not another below-average song. But, the very good songs are liked by everyone. I thought you wanted such movies with all very good songs, likeable by most people [from your rejecting Enakkul Oruvan based on the MV's song]
I do not think movies like "Priya", "Payanangal Mudivathillai" etc., can be the part of the same list as movies like "Ulle Veliye", "Veetile Visheshanga" etc.

How did you guys forget `Semparuthi'? Even the `Chalakku chalakku selai..' has some melodious bits.
How about the more recent `Kadhalukku Mariyadhai' (probably you can forgive me for the `aiya voodu..' but that is also not bad)
In fact, long ago, about 7 years back, I was listing the IR movies of all-songs-good category, but, I remember a few now..
3) Thoongadhey thambi thoongadhey
4)Idhaya Kovil (in fact, all Maniratnam's movies then onwards till Dalapathy: Mouna Ragam, Nayagan, Idhayathai thirudaathey, Anjali, Dalapathy)
10)Poove Poochoodavaa
11) Udhaya Geetham
12) Idhayam
13) Aranmanai Kili
14) Mullum Malarum
15) Keladi Kanmani
16) Chinna thambi
now i realize that this will go on forever..

this is what happens to subjective,list-making threads like these. each one starts writing their own films in which they think all songs are good and finally u end up with a list of all films for which IR scored music;) Being a DFer for quite some time now I have experienced this many times;)

jdd,
Albums have *all good songs doesn't mean all of them should be super hit like Agni Natchathiram, which I couldn't rate which song would be No.1 in that Album because all of them equally good.
This discussion will help people looking for collecting IR albums. All the above albums can be rated good overall. It may contain one super hit song and others didn't get popular. But it will not contain any junk songs.
In Johny, you are thinking there is only one good song (Seno Reeta). Don't know how could you forget about
1.Aasaya Kathula Thoodhu Vittu
2.Kaatril Sellum
3.En Vaanile
4.Oru Iniya manadhu
I should include Enakkul Oruvan also.

Singaram:
I guess u've misunderstood my first posting. In johny, I consider senorita as the "out-of-the-pack" and "not-so-good" one. Others are all gems
Also, I think recent day IR albums do not fall into "rated good overall" category also. Take an example of "Time". One or two songs are so-so. After a while, you won't even feel like listening to them. They can't even come near "100 vathu naal" which had "Vizhiyile" a good one and "Azhage Azhage" a so-so one. OR, Cap Prabaharan which had "Aattamaa" a good one and "paasamulla pandiyare" a so-so one.
Like vijay mentioned, if you want a "not-so-bad overall" album, all the IR's films, from start to 1992 or so will fall into that category. There is already a few sites which give all IR's albums. So, one has to just choose them by year [before 1992 --- all, after 1992 --- selected]
Anyway, it is your thread. Have fun

jdd,
if you don't like "seno reeta" it's your personal taste, I know lot of people like me will rate "seno reeta" is the no.1 in that album.
You can't just say "Start to 1992" is not bad albums. I am selecting only albums which is worth to listen. I can also list some albums having only junk songs. Eg., Anne Anne (Movie Name), Vaa Vaa Vasanthame (1992), Muthu engal sothu etc.
"Time" is comparably good album comparing to today's hit like "vane vane vane vane ...." don't know how many vane s are there.

Guess you are right regarding the personal tastes. one can rate "SenoRita" as no1 (compared to for example, "Katril endhan") and not "mudhalvane"... [BTW, "Shakalaka" is rated no1 in Mudhalvan album !]
I'm sure Time is being enjoyed by a lot of people, even after coming in Indian TV 2 or 3 "times" last year !
For people who are in sync with you, this thread provides "good" IR albums.
