[MADDY]

cant agree with ur point system.....u seem to rate Devadhai kandein (kadhal kondein) better than kadhalennum thervu which is not right for me...... :D

btw this place is full of fanatics FYI.........only neutral music lover here seems to be vijayr.........i cant recollect any other person....many of us here are hardcore fans with respect for other MDs songs.....its like i'm a HCARR fan but i liked:

loosu penne (Vallavan)
Dheemi Dheemi (Shiva)
Manjal Veyil (V V)

and had gud words for these songs.........u cant expect more isnt it??

[Nayagan]

""cant agree with ur point system.....u seem to rate Devadhai kandein (kadhal kondein) better than kadhalennum thervu which is not right for me..""

Maddy..that is intentional..as just independent songs(with no md baggage)..devadhai kanden should triumph over others.

If you answer these questions and go with my key for the questions..the verdict should tell where exactly one falls as a discerning music listener ;)

[MADDY]

honestly i got 13......
:D

so who am i??

anyways i appreciate ur efforts....

[thamizhvaanan]

nayagan... good questionaire but there are some subjective questions. Those can be avoided.

FYI I got 19 pts... I voted for kadhal ennum thervezhudhi... And I still beleive I was right 8-).

[Nayagan]

True..it can be subjective for some questions and that is why we need a range for the verdict :)

19 is very good. That means you enjoy TFM a lot as you listen to every1's better songs.

[rayan36]

FYI...i got an 8 (you know why).......and i'm proud of IT

[MADDY]

FYI...i got an 8 (you know why).......and i'm proud of IT

ADHU :lol:

[Nayagan]

Rayan..nothing wrong in getting 8 as long as you truthfully answer based on the songs/album themselves(not based on MD's) :D

[Ramakrishna]

I got 14

[ArulprakasH]

I got 14 points :D

[rajasaranam]

:shock: got 18 points, Hope I tried to answer the questions honestly.

[Sanjeevi]

hahahahaha

it seems one person* can get high marks (good music lover) and another person** can take fanatic award easily.

* IR fan with soft corner for ARR or ARR fan with soft corner for IR
** YSR fan

anyway good attempt for questions

[MADDY]

hahahahaha

it seems one person* can get high marks (good music lover) and another person** can take fanatic award easily.

* IR fan with soft corner for ARR or ARR fan with soft corner for IR
** YSR fan

i guess thats fair enuf......infact this is the best combo i believe.......HC fan of either IR/ARR with respect for the other will have the best taste IMO......

[rayan36]

OF COURSE i answered truthfully and that put's me somewhere in the fan/ fanatic line, nice survey though, but i can agree with question 5

[Sanjeevi]

hahahahaha

it seems one person* can get high marks (good music lover) and another person** can take fanatic award easily.

* IR fan with soft corner for ARR or ARR fan with soft corner for IR
** YSR fan

i guess thats fair enuf......infact this is the best combo i believe.......HC fan of either IR/ARR with respect for the other will have the best taste IMO......

[Sanguine Sridhar]

[Nayagan]

hahahahaha

yes MADDY u r right :D

Sanjeevi...if you are YSR fan with no softcorner for anyother MD then only what you say is true. Since the questions focus on giving each MD credit where it is due.

[Nayagan]

All..thanks for your comments. Those of you who are just reading others comments, take the quiz and post your scores.

No one so far has got 5 or close to 5. So no fanatics in this forum. Maddy you were wrong :D

[rajasaranam]

Nayagan,
Though the test is good i tried it differently this time thinking myself a fanatic of IR aswelas ARR. When i tried out for IR i came up with 15 points while when trying for ARR i came up with 4 points.
the psychology is simple.
When being a fanatical fan of IR we oppose only ARR and embrace all others like HJ, YSR, VS etc., as they we instrumental in toppling away ARR from the numero uno position from TFM.
While an ARR fanatic will see both IR and all others as worthless :wink:
So accordingly a fanatic of IR will come under the scale of real film music lover while a fanatic of ARR will remain a fanatic :twisted:

Good analysis rajasaranam...however, my definition of fanatic is some1 who considers their MD as top and all others unimportant. So atleast for this quiz sake I am not going into the dynamic of being an ARR or a IR fan...which is again something that may or may not follow your view point.

Cool dude! read my post for the thought process of a fanatical fan you are just a hardcore fan and that makes a difference Chill off :)

[rsubras]

rajasaranam i wish to differ........

while most of the IR fans view ARR as their sworn enemy..ARR fans are not like that..... Infact many IR fans who still have this grudge against ARR and his rise to fame, support other musicians and thatz why you can see many old IR fans pitching for YSR or Vidhyasagar.... avangalukkelam YSR jeyikkarathai vida ARR thokarathula paarkarathula than santhosam.....but enakku therinju more than 3/4ths of ARR fans appreciate YSR, VS, IR, Joshua sridhar and even HJ. Some might be critical of HJ coz he tries to imitate ARR in every thing right from the looks, talks to the music he composes....

unga viewpoint is based on pseudo ARR fans...appadi paartha ella MD kum antha mathiri fans irukkanga :) en ARR ah mattum target panreenga

[rajasaranam]

rsubras,
I need not reiterate the fact that I was talking about being a fanatical fan of both not just a mere fan or even a hardcore fan. If then my analogy will hold good that A fanatical fan of IR will support the next gen of ARR and a fanatical fan of ARR will oppose both IR and the nxt gen MD's since ARR's period is nudged between both.
It's similar to the analogy that fanatical MSV fans have a soft corner for ARR and Vice versa while fanatical IR Fans have to fight both of them out since his time period is between them :wink:

[rocketboy]

I got 18. So I am a genuine music lover. 8-) Music is my soul, my passion,my source of inspiration

[Sanjeevi]

May be I am a IR fanatic, but it does not mean i am not a true music lover.
