This is my attempt to write down my favourite Rahman compositions.
1. Usulampatti penkutty- I love this song. Infact, I love my dad’s version of this song too! (Yes)
2. Thoda Thoda from Indira- This soulful song is simply soothing. I love chitra’s voice in this song.!
3. July Madham vandhal- I got fascinated by this song because I thought the female voice was funny. Now that I am much older, I love the compositon.
4. Yennavale- Even today this is a most frequently played song on my Ipod. Unnikrishnan is amazing.
5.Malargale- I can’t recall the movie but this song is simply superb.
6.Uiyurum Neyee- Again Unnikrishanan at his best.
7.Chinna Chinna Asai- I just pinched myself for not putting this right on top of the list. His first song and one of the best. Strangely, everytime I listen to this song it is not the video of the song that comes to my mind but the asai chocolate advertisement!
8. Nila kygirathu- Harini’s first song.
9. Mettu Podu – From Duet. Enchanting Saxophone.
10. Chandralekha- This song is simply superb. Who sang this? I love the hight pitch portions!
11. Uyire from Bombay
12. Jiya jale- Dil se.
13.Gala gala from Rhythm.
14. Dil Se Re
15.vellai Pokkal- I cry everytime I listen to this song. It moves me so much.
16. Lagaan- The whole album. I think the album was Oscar deserving.
17.Muqabula
18. Chikku bukku
19.Ishq bina- Taal
20. Udhaya Udhaya From the movie Udhaya- It is so unfortunate that this song was composed for this movie.
21. Yeh Tara woh Tara- Swades

24. Guru-the album. I like all the songs especially Ek lo Ek muft

43. delhi 6-the album. Special songs: Masakkali, Hey Kaala badhar, Gendha phool, Delhi 6..oops did I mention the album?
44. Oh Sayya
45. Jai Ho. Whatever people say about this song not being his best and blah blah. This song is addictive, become like my prayer before bed.
46. Vande Matarm. There cannot be an Indian not liking this song. It is the second National anthem. His voice has so much depth.
47. Pray for me Brother. There was a time when i was addicted to this song. I still love it. My friends from school know how addicted i was to this song.
48. Airtel tune. Yes, I love this one too. This shows anything rahman is simply superb and wll have a fan following.
49. Acham acham illai. Thank God I remembered.
50. Free Hugs. I love this album. The song is refreshingly different and the latest to addictive Rahman songs.
It is a humble attempt to try and list down these songs. As I type this Iam remembering songs that I forgot and should have put in this list but Iam going to stop here because if I dont I can go on and on and on.
Jai Ho Rahaman.

This is a good Top 50 list. Free hugs is growing on me now. Its fun. I usually don’t like “Khwaja” type songs, for reasons you know why, but this one is really surreal.
