You are a Tamil pennmani too eh? I don't go by music directors per se. There are some by Ilayaraja, MSV, Shankar Jaikishan, SDBurman, RDBurman, and the many duos now. I know when a song clicks for me, I am a sensitive listener and need to feel the soul in the song or else I wont' listen. I will listen to them no matter what language or genre.
Yeah other than Ilayaraja and ARR i have never even heard of any other names. RDburman is a legend ofcourse i know him.I grew up hearing Ilayaraja and ARR songs.When Roja got released i was a year old and mom says i start dancing every time the song china china asai plays and she has even recored it for me to see 😳 .If u dont mind cud u pls tell me a specific song from ARR.I am his huge fan and also i am an active member on the ARR forum.Infact never missed a concert of his since 2000 this is my 4th concert.Once again i am going to his concert this coming saturday the 11th at LA.
