Great picks from everyone starting from EVK. Very good write-up Querida!. Again an album light years ahead of any film music.
Sureshji, 2010 is very special to me just because Maestro has scored only two soundtracks, but it is equivalent to 10 soundtracks. If I listen to whole of 2009 once, I would listen to 2010 10 times. Also I believe it is the only year in the whole of IR's musical career that a tamizh film music was not released.:( But he compensated that loss with both Katha Thudarunnu and Gayam-2.

Thanks KV! I would still bet on Lata Rajnikanth.

V_S,
Yes, 2010 had only two film albums and both are outstanding. 'Gayam-2' especially is miles ahead of the times. I know people will laugh at me when I say this but such synthesizer use and such melody!!! Just not possible for anyone else. BTW, he did have the non filmi 'Saibaba' album in 2010.
Listening today to 2011. 'Ponnar Shankar' and "ASK'. Amazing albums both of them. 'PS' blows my mind. Amazing tunes, amazing interludes.

Suresh - I always listen to IR's recent works. They are as important to me as his earlier works. Based on my listening preferences/mood, I will just pick any of IR's works from any time period and get hooked on to it. I will never be able to pick a most favorite segment/time-period in IR's career.
Was listening to Malarvillile from PS today morning. It's such a stunner of a song and will be most heard song this year. Can't get enough of Shreya's singing or the lovely tune or the beautiful orchestration.
Last night, it was Alaigale Vaa from Kavidhai Malar. One of a kind song in TFM, I guess. I'm waiting for App's post on this in SPB-IR thread. But since it's a 1982 movie, it's going to take a month atleast for App to get to it as he is still half way through in 1981. No hurry and no pressure App :smile: , it's worth the wait for your writings.

Suresh, I am going to do a volte face on ponnar shankar. Shreya and the orch shore up atleast 3 songs to glory. Whatay!
-
Plum,
You are always welcome to do a volte face. In Raja's case we all know that the volte face is only in one direction :) (There are no recorded instances of someone saying, "I loved this song then but now I am not sure" !!!)
-
Plum,
.. and yes, the orchestration in Ponnar Shankar is superb. There is one interlude in 'kannai padithen' which has violins going full hog. Amazing given that some of those violins could synth ones as well.
-
I fell for the prelude of malar villilae. What an elaborate, delight filled set-up to Shreya's honey soaked voice.
-
So, the poll shoud have an another option, 2010s
