If I can write such an awesome review, I wouldnt be here.Definetly working with ARR.
Hope to see you there with more enthusiasm from you with a different avatar :wink: ( :roll: can certainly guess yr reply here).
Rajasaranam,
I wasn't talking WRT to ARR or any pop album composer. Compare the trash he's giving these days to his own good albums like Bharathi, Heyram, and Virumandi. His music for unknown directors is a big let down.
Though a Piraye Piraye deserves the touch it needs, you've just attributed his complete works as situation songs for a movie where it is not the case! So Goldsmith analogy finds no place here except by saying so you may find some solace. He is inconsistent is the truth no matter how you conceal it but I'm never denying the Genius in him. After all it's the Genius in him which makes me expect something good more often that what he's giving nowadays.
See...this is the problem with you, maddy....You create your opinion about someone without knowing the complete history...I have never derided good works of arr...and I haven't made childish statements likeQuote:

Your being caste brahmin seems to be true...You kind of have a fixed/prejudiced view of people not belonging to your clan (the so called arr fan(atic)s !!!
You can check my previous posts (i became active participant recently after a sabbatical taken in 2001) in the tfm archives if you have the time and inclination to verify the correctness of my claims.
I am a brahmin too (a proud one at that - doesn't mean i don't respect others...I just love my customs and practices) ...
If you say Raja's music is not complex, I don't want to argue with you any more...You again seem to make the same un-substantiated statements...Raja has given more complex music than any Indian composer I have known....We guys can speak to any technical stud you can get to argue with us. I'm sure you never listened to the link i provided (it seems, you don't want to arugue objectively - you said arr let you down when He said Raja is great :-) ).
your sampling again seem to be within chennai (150 cds, :-)) )....My distant relative who's in film distribution business gives me data once in a while...While boyz was a hit everywhere, not every arr album sells like hot cakes...I still maintain, when it comes to a place in their heart, most of the people in TN have Raja ahead of arr.
good scale...keep it up....dunt leave the forum(fight)...IR fansukku kaatuvom ARR kya cheez hai......
"but we can listen to a IR song in high end playing system as wel as village 'kozhai speaker' Its a balance between both"
no RS sir.......i had played punnagai mannan to my frnd on a very high end system and beleive me it sounded pathetic......my frnd was laughing at the end and told me that he could not make out half of instruments played in it bcos of its poor quality.......i felt it was like watching a cricket match on TV with grains all over it......IR's recording quality is a big zero........
"I still maintain, when it comes to a place in their heart, most of the people in TN have Raja ahead of arr."
i completely agree with this...even my findings said so.....when i asked ppl. who was the gr8est MD according to them 53% told it was IR and only a partly 30% told it was ARR........so i dunt think i'll deny my own findings........but wat i feel is that ARR is hard-done here when he has taken tamil/india to west and got so much fame with ppl. like me(living in north) feel proud to call ARR a tamil........
IR fans r closed minded....there's no denying it.......i have never seen a IR fan calling ARR gr8, but we,ARR fans hold IR at such high esteem.......IR fans always think ARR is lesser to IR whereas we never think on those lines.....u can never deny this shankar.....
Maddy! Excellent avatar! shall try one for myself ARR facing the other side. Wouldnt it be great?!
Let them come up with any anaylsis either in terms of sales, awards, technicall brilliance, achievements, vocals, chorus, instrumental themes. We have facts & figures available to prove them at any point of his career after "Roja"'s muscial revolution.
Isnt this topic what do u like and hate in MD?Quote:

This sweeping generalization is unacceptable :-)...You can atleast see one in me calling arr a great ;-)....All I'm denying is the argument that "arr is better than Raja" !!...Unless someone proves it to me 'technically', I won't accept the argument...I am also inviting you guys on behalf of 'objective' Raja fans who are ready to counter your arguments 'technically'...Pure handwaving won't help...Life is in details, and lets get into the details of each composers' work, analyze them and then decide who's better.
For one, we had Raja and arr score for the same movie !
Raja for kadalukku mariyAdhai and arr for dholi saja ke rakhna...how about starting an objective argument, giving no space for personal/baseless attacks, checking each song on its merit (such as how does it suit the situation) ??
I'm game...
be prepare to face defeat! ;) . . .Doli sajakhe rakhna songs r def much much better (please know that DSKR is not a hit like KMariyathai,so def the songs fited the movie rather than appealing the audience,rite Rajasaranam?;)& suited the situation more... take for instance the brother-sis song...Quote:
