I dont want to be picky, but why this questioning is only directed at me?

Even Sanjeevi made a statement; why didn't you question him?
Or do only my posts alone deserve questioning? :shakeshead: :yessir:

He said, "most Tamil cannot deny"-nu, you said "can deny will deny", to which I agreed (see above posts again). General statement.

But when you put statistics like 2/3rd, then we need evidence. Number-nu onna pOtta athanudaya background venume?

My key cents

Musically All these eras of MSV, IR & ARR have been good, consistent atleast one creative genius is ruling the roost. Only people like Sanjeevi make sweeping statements that 80's is the best becoz suthi suthi IRku thaan saranam poduvaangha. Thats your opinion and get your facts right. The BGM & Raaja's mastery over the WCM have truly brought endearing changes to the industry likewise ARR's genre exploration & advancement of sound technology . I have listened to countless songs of these Maestro's and proud to have them in my avatar given a chance I would give equal points for their successful contribution . Ivar thaan bestnu sonna basement vodaiyurathukku vaippu undu the reason being classical/carnatic nos sethu poiduchu (KVM) Raaja is more into semi classical and ARR into fusion. Now here comes the Greatness of Poet Laureate 'Kavingar Kannadaasan' porakkurathukku vaippe illai. I can place 100's & 100's of IR/ARR songs in other films and it works out considerably good for other films. Whereas KVM+MSV songs & Kannadaasan lyrics you can't do that. Situationukkaagha thaan patteludhinaar most of his one line are simpler, innovative, thought-provoking even for a common layman causes touching & deep emotional impact than a solo violin of IR or a fusion lude in ARR songs. Kavignar is a unmatchable strength to pre 80's.

Scale :thumbsup:

scale, you have scaled my heart bro. :bow:

Thanks Groucho & NOV! Still lot left to earthing. The day we step into Neerkumili, Ethir Neechal, Major C & on commercial box office success AO+Class of MSV songs the thread will get a better shape.

Going for a long drive and then weekend break. Range kedaicha post panren. Take Care.

Sanjeevi ir pathi sollaradhum scale kannadasan pathi solradhum onnu dhaan. Oru pakkam music-nu varache balanced apdinnu kaattikarappo, lyricskum seyaanum. Illainaa snajeevia music bias nu solradhu scalekum porundhum.
Ultimately, rendume oru karuthu avlo dhaan. Vairamuthu fans can argue for equivalence with kannadasa, appo theriyum yaaru objective edhula objectivenu :)

scale, ellam sarithan

but consider a film and in general the contribution of lyrics to that film is remarkably less than the contribution of music (BGM + songs). Lyrics only comes in songs which are not needed at all for a film but BGM will travel throughout the movie. Is not it?. Proof no cinema other than in India dont have songs :lol2:.

Thus in terms of BGM, come on, who is the best in TFM? enga ponalum ithula vanthE nikkuthu :sigh2: :lol:

Sanjeevi, when the lyricist absorbs the narrative and weaves it into the lines he takes the ordinary emotion of prose and elevates the aesthetic appeal. We yield to the pull of poetry more easily.

pAsamalar's melodrama will now be passé for most of us now. OTOH malarndhu malaraadha continues to strike a chord.

BGM - if you think about it, it is perhaps the most 'unnatural' aspects of a film :lol2:

Imagine in real life how we'd react to: appraisal time-la sOgamA oru saarangi ?! sila nutpamaana tharuNangaL-la thideernu saxophone oodhina mersal aayira maattOm?
