  Choosing 25 will be really very difficult.

  Yes, it's really difficult to select the songs. Maybe one
  can try top 10 albums or things of that sort.
  In any such list: Sindhu bairavi, Kaathal Oviyam shd be on top.
  
  
• From: Ravi Chandran (@ eagle.vapower.com) on: Mon Jun 23 13:02:01 EDT 1997
  
  How about a top 25 for 70's , 2(3) albums for
  80's and one for the 90's?

  Guys, just listen to the background score for the many movies for which IR has scored the music. For example in Nayagan, when Kamal goes to meet Charanya for the first time. If you listen to it, you will understand what we mean and what IR means and it comes at appropriate times (whenever Charanya comes) in the movie.
  
  IR is really great and so are his background scores too.

  Alright Guys, your top 25 songs idea is an impossible task. Look, the number of songs Raja produced: nearly 3000. Now, how can we do justice to that.
  
  We can get many people to agree of the top 25 movies or albums. Let me begin here:
  
  1. Annakkilli (all the damn songs is what we should use to measure a talent of anyone who claims to be a super musician) For me, this movie will always go down in my heart as the greatest in film music ethos alongside the Sound of Music, Madanotsavam,Nellu, Ulagam Suttrum Vaalibhan, Ninaithale Innikkum amd a few others of MSV.
  
  2. Chittukkurivi (all songs)
  3. Kavvikkuyil (that legendary classic of BalaMu)
  4. Ponnu Oorukku Pudusu (anyone can beat this rustic sounds?)
  5. that Bharathiraja movie (has that "aayiram malargale malarungal and the most imaginative "MudhalMUDALaka Kadhal Duet Pada Vandhane)
  6. Annai Oru Aalayam (Nadiyorammm, Appane Appane and the others
  7. Kattrinile Varum Geetham (VJ's haunting number)
  8. Illamai Kkolam ( hear the duet by MV and SJ,and the solo of SJ)
  9. Sigappu Rojakkal
  10. DHARMAYUDHAM (one of the greatest duets, Aakaya Gangai, I mean tell me if I will not sing it in my last breath of life)
  11. Ullasa Paravaigal (Kamal' nostalgic romantic comedy)
  12. Meendum Kokila (Radha Radha nee Yenge. This duet tells us that Raja is the Kadal Mannan and not Kamal. What a song and don't forget Hey Orayiram. See, Ilayaraja is our last guardian of innocence)
  13. Mullum Malarum (who can ever forget one of our most popular street songs "Rame Aandalum", I can never forget the evenings when this song played in Aminijikarari vegetable market!!!)
  14. Kaali
  15. Rishimoolam
  16. Inru Poi Nalai Vaa (a Bagyaraj Movie with incredibly intelligent songs: "Pala Naal Aasai", Meri Pyari Dil Kir Raani, one of my personal addictions)
  17. Thyagam
  18. Pattakathi Bhairavan
  19. Kavariman (Poo Pole Unn Punnagayil Ponn Ulagine Kanden Amma!!! Easily one of my favorite solos ever. Cuckoo vendru Oru Chinna Kkuyil, Kuzhaindaye.... and so on. I think I will make a million friends with this one song)
  20. Krumbu Villu
  21. Jaani
  22. Olangal (malayalam)
  23. Nenjathai Killathe
  24. Paadum Paravaigal
  25. Anbukku Naan Adimai
  
  I will post more some time later.
