I think this is a random list of IR's albums till 2000. Even in this list i find duds like Vietnam Colony, Poovarasan etc.
100% albums by IR is far less than 300 or 400. 50% albums - 2-3 good songs will show better numbers for IR...say albums like Veera, Devadhai etc.

RS! I do expect it & nothing surprises me. For you ppl, such international acclaim is always fun if somebody else got it other than IR. Can you elaborate whats wrong in that? I do have one more proof immediately after the release of Roja which I kept to post it later on yr response. Shall book in advanced some more emoticons of YM,MSNM etc.... which will be more useful for you to that post.Quote:

Nobody would have heard achchani, thyagam, KVG. " - alias, this is just your assumption. I can state the hits in these films.
1. chittu kuruvi - this is remembered only for music and it had super hits like "en kanmani un kaadhali", "adadada maamara kiLiye", "unnai nambi nethiyile" , "ponnula ponnula"
2. KVG - Kaatril Varum Geetham perhaps. Has evergreen hits like "kanden engum poomagaL, "oru vaanavil pole" , "chithira sevvaanam". Nobody remembers the actors or the film itself. But I can vouch for these song's freshness even today
3.achchANi - had 2 good songs which regularly featured in radios "maadha un kovilil" and "thaalaattu piLLai undu thaalaattu" (SPB/PS duet)
4. thyagam - Not only the film, even he songs were big hit those days. "Then mallipoove" , "vasantha kaala kolangal" and "Nallavarkellaam" were radio regulars.
It is better you guys verify with those who were around that period and then make a sensible observation instead of just throwing up a knee jerk reaction
KVG - kAtRinilE varum geetham:-)
Yes scale, if BBC says Rakamma song is on the top of the list then IR fans want to have international acclaim but if ARR goes global then all these nonsense talk of global and giving examples of musician who are not popular beyond Europe and america crap. dudes...accept it.
And from what Thumburu has listed, it looks some songs in the album are unknown to ppl. So all the false claims of IR albums have hit songs is proven false.
Take the example of Annakili (IR first album). Except the title song which other songs are hit. But it is not with Roja... Every song is gem and trendsetter. That is power of ARR.
ARR IS AN OCEAN AND OTHERS ARE A DROP
Even If IR gets such an acclaim i would not go far as you saying that He has got global acclaim. Then IR composing for RPHO shall be considered as he got a global acclaim. but sadly that is not the case.Quote:

Our ARR has not yet reached so far except reaching to the mass of Punjabis at london and tamilians all over the globe. Read my post careuflly before you jump into conclusions.
for exmaple even Michael jackson had global appeal during his peak period - Americans to vadugapattians - all knew him and revered him as the king of POP and Dance. Is that the kind of Global appeal you say that ARR has got . Urrrrgh...... can you be more elaborate on enlightening me on how many Brazilians or greeks or Italians or southAfricans or Newzelandeans enjoy ARR's mujik.
Advanced thanks for you to reserve me some Emoticons, but the emoticons from Forumhub will be more than sufficiant for my purpose :twisted:

rajasaranam, shankar, kr :
Can't you see the knowledge / awareness level of people who you are discussing / trying to reason with?
If you are just having fun, passing time etc....it's probably OK (i.e. for you guys, definitely not OK for me even that way)...but serious discussion? You people obviously know there are better things to do in life:-)
App_Engine, if you cannot answer, then shut your back and leave. Dont act as if you are a Philosopher. If you have the guts to prove it then talk else just accept it.
How many people in this TFM know all other songs of Annakili other than the title song? Please tell me.
Rajasarnam what u r talking about Global is a global like how Coke, Pepsi and Michael Jackson has reached and that very few people on this earth would have reached. What we are talking is people who are aware of indian music are aware of ARR. It has been proved since Zubin Mehta, ARR is only MD to reach globally. So dude, get the meaning straight :-)
