An effort to remember at least 1000 good, popular hits of IR. No, this thread is not simply to list them! Please give running serial number & each of the song should have some nice comments about them...and no repetitions please!

  sabesan, gotta have either great memory or extreme patience to go back and forth I suppose..! But you can always count on the people who maintain this thread (and who remove the white spaces :))) to look for repetitions and remove them - but then they should not remove the opinions and thoughts posted along with the repetition!
  
  Well,
  
  81. MalargaLil Adum ILamai Pudhumaiye - Raw and innocent rendering by S P Shailaja of a melodious tune without any artificial embellishments in the form of improvisation - the reason I like this song very much. It's from the movie Kalyaana Raaman.
  
  82. OndrOdu OndraanOm AnbOdu - simple and sweet melody with BEAUTIFUL interludes and background music from the film Anbukku Naan Adimai and casual and effortless rendition by, ofcourse, P Susheela!
  
  83. EdhO NinaivugaL KanuvugaL ManadhilE - oru Ekkamaana sugamaana sOga song by KJY and S P Shailaja from Akal ViLakku.
  
  84. Ninaithaal Inikkum Nalla NEram SErndhu Varum - a husky and seductive song by SJ which just triggers my nostalgia! This is also from Kalayaana Raaman.
  
  85. Germaniyin SendhEn MalarE - an evergreen number from Ullaasa Paravaigal, this song has one of the best interludes of IR. It's best because it's evergreen! Great singing by SJ and SPB. Indhap Paattil SJ-yin voice-in "veechu" and SPB-yin voice-in "ILamai" ennaik kavarndhavai!
  
  86. Azhagu Aayiram Ulagam Muzhuvadhum - another great addition to IR-SJ combination. "Paaaa...Papapapaappaa.....Papapaaappaaa......."-can someone forget this exhilarating piece of humming that makes this song a winner? This is from Ullaasa ParavaigaL too!
  
  And before I forget...
  
  87. AmudhE ThamizhE - KOyil Pura - PS and Uma R.
  88. Sri Devi En Vazhvil - Ilaimaik Kolam - KJY.
  89. Dhoorathil Naan Kanda - NizhalgaL - SJ.

  An easy way to avoid is sticking to great songs from a single film in each of the posting! Chances of repetition gets reduced that way!
  
  BTW, so far no repeats're apparent!

  #90 - Devi, un sendhoorakkolam (From Durga Devi, JC & female voice, don't remember whether it is PS or SJ)
  
  A lovely melody with soulful singing by JC! Can someone tell what raaga is this song based on?
  
  
• From: Gans (@ ie10-bgtproxy.hiso.honeywell.com) on: Sat Jul 10 04:24:24 EDT 1999
  
  My favorites are :
  
  * Deiveega Raagam (Ullasa paravaigal)
  * Siruponmani asaiyum adhil (Kalukkul Eeram)
  * Ennathil edho (Kalukkul Eeram)

  Gans!
  One of your fav is a repetition (siruponmani); Deiveega raagam is the 91st of our list & ennaththil edho the 92nd!

  We have collected a few hits so far, from the following films (92 songs from 46 films), just the tip of the iceberg and long way to go:
  
  16 Vayadhinile
  Agal vilakku
  Anbukku naan adimai
  Annakkili
  Arangetra velai
  Azhage unnai aaradhikkiren
  Bhathrakali
  Bhuvana oru kelvikkuri
  Dhavanikkanavugal
  Durga devi
  Ilamaikkolam
  Johny
  Kadal oviyum
  Kallukkul eeram
  Kalyanaraman
  Karumbu vil
  Katrinile varum geetham
  Kavikkuyil
  Kizhakke pogum rayil
  Koyil pura
  Metti
  Moodupani
  Moondrampirai
  Mullum malarum
  Mundhanai mudichchu
  Murattukkalai
  Nandu
  Niram maratha pookkal
  Nizhalgal
  Pagalil oru iravu
  Panneer pushpangal

  Sigappu rojakkal
  Sittukkuruvi
  Thooral ninnu pochu
  Thunairuppal meenatchi
  Udhaya geetham
  Ullasapparavaikal
  Uravadum nenjam
  
  For simplicity's sake, why not clear off the remaining good hits from the above films, from listing from others? (just a suggestion & not a rule; don't bother about repetitions as I'll sort that out with my spreadsheet entries!)
  
  Let me list our # 93 from Ullasapparavaigal again, a lovely SJ number with great percussion: `Naan undhan thaayaga vendum', I love the melody of the saranam especially!

  As Sriram started his latest list with 91 instead of 93, I renumber these two...
  
  101. Deiveega raagam
  102. ennaththil edho
  
  Few more...
  
  103. Adho vaaraandi vaaraandi (Polladhavan)
  104. Metti Oli kaatrodu (Metti)
  105. Kadavul Ullamae Or (Anbulla Rajinikanth)
  106. Idhayam Oru Koil (Idhaya Koil)
  107. Pani vizhum malar vanam (Ninaivellam Nithya)
  108. Nee thanae endhan Pon vasantham (N.N)
  109. Chella kuzhanthaikalae (My dear Kutti chaathan)
  110. Kaadhal Kavidhaigal padithidum (Kopura vasalilae)
  111. Anjali Anjali...(Anjali) - I need to make a special mention here. There is one Punjab guy who was not aware of IR much. One day when I was playing this song, he rushed to my place and asked me to rewind and replay. Inspired by IR's music now he dwells in HOW TO NAME IT ! Raja proved music has no language.
  
  112. Idhu sangeetha thirunaalo (Kadhalakku Mariyaadhai).
  
  Will continue later.

  I have a few suggestion. Shall one of us maintain a HTML file which lists all the files. The link to the file can be given from here. Eden may be you can do that !
  
  Also, if there is a repetition or if we credit a wrong music director, let us insert the new entry in the place of the old. So that there will not be a confusion.
  
  Ok ?

  Gans, AdhO Vaarandi Vaarandi is bY MSV (Pollaadhavan). And you've missed Eden's Naan Undhan Thaayaaga Vendum: Hence, #93 ie., Naan Undhan...which was missed by you replaces #103 ie., Adho Varandi...!
  
  Now,
  
  113. Putham Pudhu Kaalai - SJ's rendition of this song makes you feel the early morning dew! It's from AlaigaL Oivadhillai.
  
  114. Paada VandhadhO Gaanam - a melodious duet by PS & KJY from ILamai KaalangaL.
  
  115. RaagavanE RamaNaa Ragunaadhaa - a superhit solo by PS from the same film.
  
  116. Panneer PushpangaLE - Kamalahaasan at his singing best from Aval Appadithaan.
  
  117. UravugaL Thodarkadhai - a soft KJY number from the same movie.
  
  118. KaathOdu Poovurasa - a resounding duet by PS & SPB from Anbukku Naan Adimai.
  
  119. KaNmaNiyE Kaadhal Enbadu - a great composition from IR and deft rendition by the singers SJ & SPB from Aarilirundhu Arubadhu Varai.
  
  120. Aagaaya Gangai - an all time favourite by SJ & MV from Dharma Udhdham.
  
  121. En KaNmaNi Un Kaadhali - a novel duet by PS & SPB from Chittukkuruvi.

  123. Vaa PonmayilE - an all time great by SPB from Poondhalir.
  
  124. Manadhil Enna NinaivugaLO - a jolly song full of beats by SPB & S P Shailaja: This song goes for SPB's youthful voice. This is also from Poondhalir.
  
  125. Raja Chinna Raaja PoondhalirE - soulful singing by PS from the same movie.
  
  126. Idhaya Mazhaiyil Nanaindha KiLigaL - a duet with competitive singing by KJY & PS. One should listen to this song to admire PS' evergreen and ever youthful voice! This is from the film AlukkOru Aasai.
  
  127. Thaalattu - from AchaaNi by SPB & PS.
  
  128. Maadha Un KOvilil - uruga vaikkum singing by SJ from the same film.
  
  129. VeeNai Meettum KaigaLE - SJ's voice and IR's melody at their best from movie?
  
  130. MayilE MayilE - Jency's kuzhandhaiththanamaaga kuzhaiyum voice and SPB's iLamaiyaana kural - vow! - this is one of my favourites of IR. Film: KadavuL Amaitha Medai.
  
  Well, has anyone quoted songs from the film Priya? Eden, please correct repetitions if any.
  
  The next number is 131....
