The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[Bala (Karthik)]

my choice #1 : pudhiya poovidhu, pooththadhu (TET)

others:
#2 : iLa manadhu (Selvi)
#3 : adhikAlai nEramE (MOKK)
#4 : sOdikkiLi engE (padikkAthavan)
#5 : kaNNil enna kArkAlam (UKNV)
#6 : pAttuththalaivan (IK)

Please state yours...we'll see what gets most responses

Without an iota of doubt - "Paattu Thalaivan".
SPB owns the song. Superb jumpy rhythm, typical *fast-paced melody* from Raaja. Interludes to die for, especially the first - plane take-off category. Infectious open-throated singing, a must have in the list of songs to listen to while traveling

P.S: Can;t believe the majority rates "Adhi kaalai nerame" over this/Pudhiya Poovidhu

pAttu talaivan - Science, explainable.
AthikAlai nEramE - spiritual, not easily explainable.

When it comes to music, I yam a believer.

Bala, app's teacher amma was/is Vani Jayaram. Infact, the coinage itself came from old tfmpage regulars I think. There have been very famous battles caused by Pro-Vani faction(sum total of 1 member) feeling that the powers-that-be of the forum are against her. Bayangara IR-ARR rangekku saNdaigaL.

Krauching Tiger: Tabu Shankar is two national awardsyA. Both richly deserved despite one of them being madhurai pandaragan movie. Generally very good in vulnerable, sensitive roles. And I never found her bad in any role. Post Shabana-Smita, there is not much competition anyway. She is Shabana's niece, btw. Genes tell, eh? I hope you didn't make your judgement after seeing Hawa :shake:

nanRi, V_Sji and Balaji

B(K), like Plum mentioned, VJ is the teecharammA. (PS is "HMV" for me, but my mother was a teacher as well and it's possible PS sounds teecherish )

BTW, KSC is Miss Serious (so, effectively "student"tu).

On a relatively serious note, KSC's precision is a match to that of VJ and possibly the reason for rAsA choosing her in many late 80's songs. (Actually in the 'muththamizhil pAdi vandhEn' song, VJ sounds like KSC).

Yes, CBE is Kovai

முதல்ல சிம்ரன், இப்போ தபு , அடுத்து யாரு கஜோலா? நீங்க இன்னும் சுருதி ஜுரத்துல இருந்து வரலைன்னு தோணுது.

Yes, CBE is Kovai

As a Kovaikkaran, I strongly object using Coimbatore and Jeyashree in the same sentence.

Ok - I am ready to be beaten up. IMHO, TET is one of the most boring albums of IR. I have heard these songs many times, but I never reached out for any one of the songs myself. "Eeramana Rojave" is another album that reminds me of TET or vice versa (KJY factor?!)
