Best Tamil songs of 2005

The year 2005 has been a bad year for Tamil Film Music. I might be oblivious, correct me if I’m wrong. From my perspective there are several reasons. The first reason, which some might think, to be a biased one is that, this year was probably the worst year for the madras Mozart ARR. He did not come out, even with a decent album. Even taking his international assignments into account, its been long since he had performed the way he used to during his prime days in Tamil. I, like many other ARR fanatics, am eagerly waiting for an alaipayuthe, KK or albums like that. The second reason which I feel is that, the taste of Tamil fans have changed a lot. Fast numbers have become a fashion. With songs Manmada Raasa, Seena thaana becoming a big hit last year, almost all the directors and Music directors came up with more fast numbers, which ia a big loss for TFM. Even other music directors like YSR, HJ, Illairaja and Vidyadsagar did not come up with a full rock-solid-album this year. Among the songs which came out this year, here’s the list of my favorite songs. Obviously YSR tops the list with most number of songs.

1. Andha Naal Nyabagam - IR (Athu Oru Kana Kaalam)
2. Pani Thuli Pani Thuli - YSR (Kanda Naal Mudhal)
3. Sutrum Vizhi Chudare - HJ (Ghajini)
4. Oru Maalai Illa veiyil – HJ (Ghajini)
5. Merke Merke Sooriyangal - YSR (Kanda Naal Mudhal)
6. Kaatril Varum – IR (Oru Naal Oru Kanavu)
7. Khagraaho Kanavilae - IR (Oru Naal Oru Kanavu)
8. Athindhom Thindiyum Nanthana - VS (Chandramukhi)
9. Ella Ella Ellla maateitaan payyan thaan - YSR (Arindum Ariyamalum)
10. Iyengaaru Veetu Alagey - HJ (Anniyan)

The other songs that I liked are konjum thira konjma thira, Kaathal enbathu kaduval allava, Uyire en Uyire ennova nadukuthadi, Saka Poadu poataale, Yaaridamum thoandravilai Ithu poal, Noothana nee Noothana.
