My top 5 of IR's 2009 would be :
1. kunnathe - For its wholesomeness
2. kooda varuviya - soothing ambience
3. kannil paarvai - Rasikapriya rarity
4. Shringara - Sreya, lilting melody, great 2nd interlude
5. Nilavu varum neram/Pon mani theril - Raja is king of erotica

My top 5 are female solos where Raja always excels

[kj]

My favorites

1)Rangu Rangu: A song so captivating that it made me listen repeatedly for atleast 20 times in a row.
2)Mudi Mudi: What a refreshing change to listen to a song dominated with live instruments.
3)Muthamma-plain cool song
4)Pon mani theril-for the slap bass interlude
5)Alli-Poove-sheer magic

I'm really looking forward to Rajasaranam's choice of "Song of the year" (same goes to male singer and album of the year also) - Anything other than 'Om Shivoham' (or NK) is blasphemy to me :razz:
