Anbe Odi Vaa songs were quite popular when they released especially Jodi Nathigal and Kathil Kettadhu. Raja was doing so many movies in a year back then, that it was tough to keep up.
Also interestingly, in 1984 when Anbe Odi Vaa released, Raja scored music for a film named "Uyire Unakkaga" which I believe never released.

The one that released in 1986 starring Mohan and Nadiya was scored by LP.
Thanks to the discussion in SPB/IR thread between Params and UshakkA, this morning's song was 'தீராத விளையாட்டுப்பிள்ளை' (நெற்றிக்கண்) :-)
Raja was in full flow during that time with his fusions - both mAppiLLaikku and this song were samples of the experimental IR at that time!
Listening to 'Oru Yathra Mozhi'. No words to describe this album and I heard just 3 songs till now. 'thaimavin thanalil', 'ponveyilile' and 'manjolum raatri'. Given that it has 'karkala kannamma' and 'erikanal katril', I am tempted to say this is one of the best album of the 90s in any language!!! The orchestration, the innovations, the melody, the singing, everything is sumptuous and this is the full meal that Raja keeps talking about. I restrain myself from saying this is THE album of 90s because it was in 90s that we had 'Kaalapani' and 'Guru' as well!!!
This is another track I love...Pollatha Aasai Vanthu from Kuva Kuva Vaththukkal. The prelude (and interludes) is awesome with mridangam set to a western rhythm. To me the song sounds very experimental...poondhu vilayadi iruppar. And of course, capped with a superb negotiation for the stanza ending. The vocal harmonies at the end are also delightful.

Shank,
What a lovely flute piece in the second interlude of 'paadivaa thendrale'!! Clearly shows Kalyani, on which the song is based. Jeyachandran with Raja is always special and this song is no exception.
Every song you have mentioned is a gem. I notice all of them are from 1984. And these are songs which people probably haven't heard much!!! (Atleast I haven't heard most of them except 'paadiva tendrale' ) My situation is similar to Vadivelu's. "Oof. ippove kannakattude" :)
