Another important example in your list - "Unnai Naan Ariven" from Guna

Thanks a lot Bala for reminding this. How did I forget this. Brilliant ideas by Kamal and brilliant execution by Maestro.

Is this the SPB version, sound disabled in the office

#348 வானம் தொட்டுப்போன
(தேவர் மகன், 1992 )

Another SPB song from the same movie that I've heard only a few times - mostly during bus travels. Unlike the previous song that I've heard a few times on radio, I don't remember hearing this number ever otherwise. Sounds nice, with SPB throwing in appropriate emotions (there are actually two version on thiraippAdal - both having the same melody but different orchestration / tempo etc and possibly for two different situations in the movie).

Isn't it the song with contains the word "pOtri padadi penE Devar kaladai amnE " If so this is indeed a very nice song. SPB in full Navarasams !

Update - I did a quick stock taking of 1992 balance numbers as to what songs immediately ring a bell (as most of them were heard only on buses / PA systems etc and very few owned personally) and that year will easily cross #366

So, don't worry about nominating any song from 1993 for this exercise

My original nomination was rAjAthi rAjA un thanthirangaL (of mannan). There seems to be not many takers for that...I don't want to waste my vote and switch to muththu maNi mAlai

With V_Sji, this song now has two votes

For today, I'll start from a movie that can't possibly be in this selection process (the aruvA DM)

BTW, me too love the rickshAw mAmA songs - though I've not known previously that those were from that movie

ennadhu no takers for "Rajadhi raja un mandhirangaL" and "Gumthalakkadi gumthalakkadi" yaa?

Ah I just noticed this now, yes Rajathi Raja un mandirangal and Gumthalakadi were good, but I liked the other one with Rajni and VS , I think it is called Manar MannanerE enaku kapankattu nee ! I guess these songs went unnoticed due to the fact KJY's "amma endru " over shadowed the rest ?

A_E - u disappoint me

adheppadi Me the first person to nominate 'rAjAthi rAja un thanthirangaL'...

Since it gets some Adharavu now (from Nerd, jaiganes), I'll keep it in the run and not cast my vote yet for either of the numbers...we have a few more days to go, after all

A_E saar. we all know - kalaapoorvamaana vishayangaLil - jananaayagam sellaadhunnen.

No offence meant, I somehow I trace Mannan to 1991 and not 1992. May be because the film songs released in 1991 and film released in 1992? How can I leave Rajaathi Raja un thanthirangaL, it was the most loved song and album not just me, my whole family during that time.

BTW, Vaanam Thottu POna is one killer of a song, once I start listening, it is too difficult to come out of it.
