எப்பவும் தான் ராஜா!


People write loads about Rahman being the best and sleep off listening to "Kanne kalaimane".People talk about Rahman's peppy numbers and still find no song comparable to "Raja Raajadhi Rajan Indha Raja".People are Rahman's fans but Raja's addicts.Rahman has built a fan base but Raja has built a kingdom.
Ilayaraja's music is synonymous to C programming.You cannot survive without it.Rahman's music is mesmerising but Raja's is more meaningful.I loved a blogger's view:"Rahman's music is like a wife.Sensuous.Raja's is comparable to a mother.Divine."Here is my list of 10 favourite Raja songs.
1.Thenpandi Seemayile-Nayagan
2.Kanne Kalaimane-Moondram Pirai
3.Mannil Indha-Keladi Kanmani
4.Idhu Oru Pon Maalai-Nizhalgal
5.En Iniya Pon Nilave-Moodupani
6.Raja Raajadhi Rajan-Agni Natchathiram
7.Kaatu Kuyilu-Thalapathy
8.Inji Idupalagi-Devar Magan
9.Kanmani Anbodu-Guna
10.Amma endru-Mannan

Ask me tomorrow and I can come up with an entirely different list.That is Raja.Oscars do not deserve a Raja.More than Karunanidhi,he has made lives of Tamils across the world meaningful.Ilayaraja is the most important Tamilan alive today.Happy birthday Raja sir!
