Best Songs of the year - 2008
For those of you who don't know, one of the ten commandments for a blogger who writes a lot about Tamil music & movies is this: "Thou shall list the annual post about the best of the year in Tamil film music". So, heeding to that commandment, here is my post.
The usual conditions that I set for such posts do exist:
1) All these songs should fit in a 80-minute audio CD
2) There should be only one song from any given album, no matter how good the album is.
3) The album should have been released in 2008 (that would eliminate albums like Vellithirai and Anjaadhey since they were released in 2007)
1) Endhan vaanamum from Vaazhthukkal - One of Yuvan's stand-out melodies of 2008.
2) Yaaro manadhile from Dhaam Dhoom - Harris Jeyaraj, Bombay Jayashree. Enuf said.
3) Yae unnidam from Chakkara Viyugam - Typical Karthik Raja melody, with his voice reminding us of his illustrious father's voice.
4) Kangal Irandaal from Subramaniyapuram- Will be a crime not to include this song in this list. James, where were you all these days?
5) Taxi Taxi from Sakkarakatti- one of my picks for the song of the year
6) Mazhai nindra pinbum from Raman Thediya Seethai - A standard Vidhyasagar melody but very enjoyable nevertheless
7) Adai Mazhaikkaalam from Jeyam Kondaan - Vidyasagar. Melody. They do go hand in hand, don't they?
8) Dosth Badaa Dosth from Saroja - Breezy song. Absolutely loved this song.
9) Nenjukkul Peidhidum maamazhai from Vaaranam Aayiram - One of the 6 gems from easily my pick for the album of the year.
10) Aavaaram Poo from Poo - A refreshing song by debutant composer S.S. Kumaran
11) Poovinai thirandhu from Aanandha Thaandavam - GVP finally arrives this year with his uncle-like melody.
12) Lesaa parakkudhu from Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu - This melody from another contestant to the album of the year award.
13) Anaikkindra thaagam from Nepaali - Srikanth Deva surprises us with this enchanting number where Bombay Jeyashree's vocals stand out.
14) Siru thoduthalile from Laadam - A song that makes us long for more from this young lad.
