The 50s saw the great composer G.Ramanathan like a monarch.
The magnificient 60s had the 2 great duo MSV-TKR ruling for long
During this period, there was KVM also , another great
Then MSV solo from 65 to 77
Isainyani took over then. Dominated like a champion up to 93 -94
From 94 , the era of ARR , Isai puyal
So, which decade was the best ever in terms of quality .
Lets discuss here
Hope all fan groups participate without degrading the other MDs. :D
ilayaraja era
I wish to classify each eras for the music they delved in.
50s - Carnatic,Pure tamil music with drama like orchestration.
60s - Western format of orchestration for tamil music.
70s - Semi classical and melody rule.
IR era - Western classical music and other genres fused with indian music.
ARR era - Western modernised music and other genres using indianised tunes.

In these films , most of the songs were hit
Both IR & ARR eras
Hi Rajkumar :D
True , those movies came in 92/93 but my viewpoint was that IR was still ruling during those years. Thats why I have categorised as such
Nakkeran, ARR-ukku thittu vaangi kudukkaama neenga thoongamaatteenga pola irukku...... :D .......innum enn nanbargal silar indha thread-a paarkala pola irukku.... :shaking: :shaking:
coming back to the topic, i guess we shuld consider the trends only........though MSV gave some beautiful albums after 76' it was IR's trend only dominating.......same way since 92 till now its ARR trend.........i dont think HJ and u1 have created a significant change in sounds since 92........ :huh:
Tamilians are generally conservative (thats my observation....pls dont bash me :D ).......so to bring them out of their comfort zone and showing them something different, making them enjoying it is a very rare feat.........i guess that credit goes to MSV-TKR and ARR only......MSV-TKR broke the backbone of carnatic music to take tamilians thru the path of lite music......ARR broke the traditional Analog/Indian sounds to take them thru digital/global sounds.........rahman vandhadhukku apparum dhaan yenga veettu amplifier/speakerukkae oru kala vandhudhu........ :D
this is strictly my opinion
1980's IR + SPB era, nothingbeats this GREATEST combo, no way

79 & 80 were all IR . I thought IR was dominant during 92 &93 also though ARR was forging ahead . More noof movies & some good numbers were heard during this phase.
By 94, ARR became the leader with his new trend of music :D
:lol: how funny !...tamilians dont come out of their confort zone????Quote:
