[Sunil_M88]

If I have to go by what it reads on the tin, then the Thamizh songs that have been playing in my mind are as follow. (I don't consider some of these as my most fav. songs of the year, but we're not here to nominate songs are we?)

BTW... My list is based on movies released this year i.e. Aadukalam, Ko, Engeyum Kaadhal etc. even though the songs released last year.

Yathe Yathe, Otha Sollaala, Ayyayo, A Love Blossoms - Aadukalam
Imai Thoothane, Oru Nila - Ilaignan
Yar Solli Kadhal - Pathinaaru
Kabhi Jind* - Yudham Sei (*Not a Thamizh song)
Enakenna Oruthi - Ayyan
Vizhigalile, Kadhal Enbadhai - Kullanari Koottam
Oorula Unakoru Medai - Nanjupuram
Whole album, most looped song was Annanmaar Kathai - Ponnar Shankar
" ", " " " " Aga Naga - Ko
Evan Di Unna Pethan - Vaanam
Whole album - Engeym Kaadhal
Kuthikkira Kuthikkira - Azhagarsamiyin Kudhirai
Whole album, most looped Poovin Manam followed by Chinnanchiru Idhayathil - Narthagi
Oru Malayoram - Avan Ivan
Whole album - 180
All songs, excluding Jagada Thom & Life Is Beautiful - Deiva Thirumagal
Mansurukiathe - Karungali
Whole album, particularly Title Song and Nanbane - Mankatha
Masaamaa - Engeyum Eppodhum
Kanchana Mala - Vanthaan Vendraan
Whole album, most looped song Aana Avaana - Vaagai Sooda Vaa
Whole album, particularly Innum Enna and Yellae Lama - 7am arivu
Whole album, most looped song(s) Maiyam Seidhayo and Sonna Puriyadhu - Velayudham
Naan sonnadhum, Pirai Thedum - Mayakkam Enna

This was based only on OSTs according to the movies release this year so far, I have not listed some soundtracks and that doesn't mean I haven't heard/don't like them but this was my list of songs most repeated. There are a couple of audios for movies that haven't been released this year that I've played consistently throughout the year i.e Pesu, Mambattiyan, Sevarkodi, Thandavkone (Is the movie released??), 3/Moondru etc. But I'll leave these for Best Songs of 2012 thread.

BRING ON THE NOMINATIONS OF 2011

:happydance:

[Scale]

What do you give every year hub award winner (for correct nomination)? CD right? adhukkana preparationonnu nenaichen :oops:

[NOV]

Sunil, you put most of us to shame. :lol:
Scale, that is not this :lol2:

[Sunil_M88]

Scale, we all put our nominations fourth and then the most voted preference wins :) e.g. MD of last year was Rahman ji for VTV. Looking forward to your nominations bro. I find that this part of the year brings many hidden gem of songs in the limelight.

[Sunil_M88]

Sunil, you put most of us to shame. :lol:

That wasn't my intention anna, it's just that I find Thamizh songs very irresistible.

[Sunil_M88]

I'm such a doffus, how could I forget Vijay Antony's Yedhedho from Sattapadi Kutram :musicsmile:

[Scale]

Sunil,

+1 @NOV.

We still have 1 more month left keep in mind that only 3 nomination per category is allowed :lol2:

[Sunil_M88]

3 is that it, Novplease could we have some leeway this year ? Make it 5/6 Otherwise I'll end up pulling my hair out lol

[Scale]

Final poll can accomodate only 10 options don't make NOV/LM to pluck their hair :lol2: (30-40 nominations min you'll see every year)

[Sunil_M88]

Oh I see...

Song of the Year - Poovin Manam

Album of the Year - VSV

Anyways, If I have to give my top 3 as of now then here it is in no particular order:

Aana Avaana, Poovin Manam, Senga Soola Kaara,

[Scale]

Song of the Year - Poovin Manam



:thumbsup:

Poovin manam is one unheard, underrated, undiminished magical composition of GVP sung by the gorgeous pair Harini & Tippu. Sorry to share your disappointment Sunil there wont be many takers we hope it gains few nominations atleast from now.

//Album of the Year - VSV//

NOV already pointed out two strong contenders... Aadukalam & 180 and mine is Ilaignan.

There will be more categories Best Singer (M & F), Best MD, Best Lyricist, Best Picturization & Best Choreo

[Scale]

We have to wait and see others list as well.

Vaanam - No money no Honey

Engeyum Kaadhal - Nangai (Sathima meeisc ku illinga danceku)

Rowthiram - Goli maaru gansteru (Haven't heard this song until I watched the movie. Sema funny lyrics and aatam. varasolla pogasolla ivaru vanthu nottuvaaram ...labo thibo labo thibo north madrasu tappu tippunu silence aachu :rotfl:)
Mankatha - Ballelaka ( Premij :twisted: unakku intha paata kudutha VP ya :hammer:)

Mambatiyaan - Kaatu vazhi pora ponnae kavala padathae (Prasanth oda rendu padam list la vanthuruku. Taman is impressive this year.)


Raja / ARR oda palaya songs ketu thaan kaalam thalla vendi irruku.

[V_S]

Annanmar Kathai, Bhavani Varugira, Malar Villilae, Kannai PadithEn, ThEdi Vantha Devadhai - Ponnar Shankar (IR)
Kuthikkira, PoovakkELu, Thiruvizha - Azhagarsaamiyin Kuthirai (IR)
Kaathiruppen Kaathiruppen, En Usiru - Sengaathu Bhoomiyile (IR)
Kaattu Vazhi, NeerAl Udal Kazhuvi - Thandavakone (IR)
Ayyayyo, Yathe Yathe, Otha Solaale - AadukaLam (GVP)
Sandhikkaadha - 180 (Shareth)
Sara Sara Saara Kaathu, Senga Choola Kaara - Vaagai Sooda Vaa (M Ghibran)
VizhigaLile - KuLLanari Koottam (V Selvaganesh)
Kannitheevu Ponna - Yudham Sei (K)
Imaithoothane, Mazhaiyil KuLitha (for Anwesha) - Ilaignan (VS)

I know AadukaLam will win hands down, but when it comes to whole soundtrack including BGM, it is ASK for me, unbeatable!, if it is just for songs, it is Ponnar Shankar (I have not seen the movie to appreciate the BGM). Overall this year has been great for music, with new directors giving fresh music and most listeners are enjoying music from village subjects which is a very welcome sign.

Out of the NOV's strong contenders, hands down for me it's 180, listen to this on headphones and feel the value of sound. The production here is flawless, along with VSV this is the best produced album in terms of sound engineering this year. Though on basis of songs, I personally feel Ayyayo will beat any of the 180 songs in the test of time because of it's simplicity and ethnic exuberance. Therefore, best album - 180 & best song - Ayyayo

[Sunil_M88]

Most of my loved songs this year are from unreleased films.

I couldn't wait till "Best of 2012" so I'm sharing my list (as a draft) as recommendations for your lot's playlist.

Whole album but Ithayam Pesudhe is the icing on the cake - Pesu
Meene Vin Meeney - Sevarkodi
Sikkikichu Sikkikichu I rememeber I had this on loop for 2/3 hours straight, Kaathiruppen Kaathiruppen - Sengathu boomiyile
Whole Album, Chinna poonu (Thaman's remake) and Yedho Aagudhey - Mambattiyan
Recently looping like crazy Aathadi Manasuthan - Kazhugu

But regardless if a movie has been released this or not, the most heard albums in my playlist this year are DHILIP VARMAN'S TFM DEBUT UYIRAI THOLATHEN, hear the album - http://www.thiraipaadal.com/album.php?ALBID=ALBDVA0001&lang=en KANGALIL KADHAL, POTHUM POTHUM, SOLLAMALEY - SOME OF THE MOST DIVINEST & MOST EMOTIONAL SONGS I'VE HEARD IN AGES. (Dhilip reminds me of the Rahman ji from the yore :) ) and THANDAVKONE, still having difficulty to decide my fav song from this album. All other Thamizh albums this year by Raaja saab pale in front of this, arguably his finest work over the recent years. :musicsmile:

My round up for the year

Tamil
Top 15:
1. Poovin Manam - Narthagi (Arguably the best song I've ever heard)


Hearing a lot about this song! Is this song that good and betters Chinnanchiru idhayathil? :roll: Will give it a listen shortly!

[genesis]

Album:
1. Vaagai Sooda Vaa
2. 180
3. Thandavakone


I have a big complaint about Sharreth.... I think he makes the music intentionally complex. Most of his songs are not pleasant to listen. For me and many others music is for pleasure - Not for analysis. I have listened to couple of his albums and I stongly feel he does not deserve a place up there.

[Plum]

I shouldn't be posting in this thread but the accolades for VSV beat me...1960snAnga, Rural settingnAnga. PAtta kEttA apdi oNNum thONalaiyE. IppollAm parameters vEraiyA?

Plum - You definitely got point a here. Couple of songs in VSV does not belong to the period or setting. I am assuming we are just talking about the songs not how well they fit the movie. I think the same applies to Sri Rama Rajyam songs also.

"Chinmayee fake kudhookalam effect"??!! Can you explain a bit more?

@About Sharreth thats the major complaint I have seen from most of them. Yes I myself find his songs twisted (too many unwanted genre shifts) and too complex for listening that arabic like song puts me completely brain sick. But you have Santhikaatha kangalil :), Rules Kidayathu :smokesmirk: & Radhe Radhe Bhajan :musicsmile: that shows his versatility.

[Nayagan]

I wanted to post some of the songs that I liked in 2011 which have not been listed so far in this thread

Senganthal--Rowthiram (beautiful hip hop/soft rock)
Maalai Mangum Neram-->Rowthiram (Nice tune..beat will take some time to get used to)

Oh my Angel--->Yuvan Yuvathi (ballad style melody)
24 mani neram-->Yuvan Yuvathi (Rap/Hip Hop style)

Kolaikara Analachu-->TVS (very catchy folk)

Rathathin Rathame-->Velayudam (After Ellapughazhum my favorite Hero intro?/worship song)

Ikkuthe Kangal--->Vithagan (catchy melody)

My top song for the Year is
Ennamo Yedho(for music and lyrics)
