My TR favourites.
1. Aazhkadalil ThathaLithu (great tune, great singing by SPB)
2. Moongilile (same reasons as above)
3. Deva Logam Azhaithaalum (SJ & chorus) . One of the very best of TR. The song oozes romance.
Song 1. had the foll. lines.
Karaippol Kathirunthen
Nadhiyai Ethirparthirunthen
Kadhai maaridave Karai veru KandaaL
Kaala ALaigaLudan puthu karayaiKkandaaL
Athu Yen...
SPB -ai patri sollava vendum. Antha "Yen"-ai neetti muzhakki , Dhool , esp when the song ends.
A very talented artiste with a twisted mind.

kaarthi, selvan: regarding, 'piLLainga pErula thaan thangam vairam irukkuthu' (possibly) frm 'oru thaayin sabatham', is it really by PS? I somehow remember of having seen a name "vidya" or "shri vidya" in the singers list of 'oru thaayin sabatham'???

Kumar,
TR was next to IR in TFM in 80s ? Well, then IR occupied the first 20 places and TR must have been the 21st !

As a poet, T.Rajendar is the king of unrequited love in TFM. His songs effulged grief with overwhelming polarities and abundant ironyjust listen to Idhu Kuzhandai Paadum Thaalaattu, Kurudaana Kavingyanukku, Megamthaan Idhil Mazhaiyae Illai. Compared to TR's romantic grandiloquence (amudham endra sollai aaraaichi seivatharkku avaniyil avalae avadhaaram; aval mugavadivai manam paarththapinnae andha pournamiyai avan rasippadhillai), VM's forlorn lyrics come off as adolescent exaggeration.
TR showed a healthy indulgence in word play (IdhazhkaL oorumadi, idhazh kaL oorumadi) that was frowned upon by listeners used to Kannadhaasan's mature subtlety. But anyone relishing in his craft gets my respect. Listen to the many spins on the word "Shanthi" in "Amaidhikku peyardhaan shanthi". While his high profile hits were mostly sad songs, his happy melodies had some great poetry in themvasandha kaalangal isaindhu paadungal, vizhigal medaiyaam imaigal thiraigalaam, indhira loagaththu sundari all had some great imagery.
As a musician, he charmed us with simple light music (nenjam paadum pudhiya raagam), catchy folk tunes (adi neelach chelai ravikkayila) and occasional classical ones (oru ponmaanai naan kaana). Though he has always had a core group that followed his stuff, musically or lyrically the media never gave him the respect he deserved. Kumudham used to refer to him as Karadi Raajendar, as if Vaali and Kannadhaasan were handsome men, as if it ever mattered how a poet looked. "Nenjil Oru Raagam" remains one of those grossly overlooked soundtracks in TFM. "Rail Payanangalil" got a lot of airplay for it's worst song, "Ada Yaaro" but every other song in it was good. "Oru Thalai Raagam" is unquestionably a milestone in TFM history.
Neels,
It doesn't surprise me that ARR is a fan of TR. Have you listened to "Moham vandhu thaagam vandhu ennai azhaikka" SPB brings down the house with this hip-hop delight. I feel this and other fast songs like "Unnaiththaanae Azhaikkiraen" by SJ were way ahead of their time and were precursors for the fast tunes by ARR, Vidhyasaagar, and Yuvan Shankar Raja.
As Rail Payanangalil has many doubts surrounding it, let me list the soundtrack information:
1) Vasandha KaalangalP.Jeyachandran chorus
2) Vasandham Aadi VaraS.Janagi
3) Noolumillai VaalumillaiTMS
4) Vasandham Aadi VaraSPB
5) Ada YaroSPB
6) Amaidhikku Peyardhaan Shanthi-TMS
It's easy to deride TR on his failures, but his accomplishments stand tall.

Udhaya,
Well written. Very good points. I really get pissed off when magazines like "Kumudham", "Vaaramalar", etc. call him 'karadi', 'achimachi director', etc. He is a very good lyricist but, unfortunately, he does not write lyrics for other MDs. It is unfortunate that many people remember TR only for songs like 'cut adippom cut adippom collegeukku', 'daidai digiridoi', etc while his gems are overlooked.

TR,
a person who grewup learning from the grass root, who can to do various things,
he is one among few MDs who gave Original music,
as far as i know he never lifted,
all were his original scores and he had a unique style, we can guess that it is TR's song.
I have met him few times in TNagar, very easy person to approach and we can discuss with him on any subject, he will talk in your wavelength.
,A honest artist
