Best BGM of the Decade - 1991 - 2000

[Plum]

With all the decade threads going, an important aspect has been ignored so far.

And I am choosing 90's for the quality of certain movies and the BGM there.

I promise a long post on Mahanadhi BGM soon - and there is my favourite over Hey Ram.

Meanwhile, HUB experts please come to the party with your nuanced critique

[Bala (Karthik)]

Sabaash :clap:

Commendabuzh initiative :thumbsup:

[Aalavanthan]

Thats one heck of a thread Plum.. A good initiative but a lot of ground work required before any post :) I am in !

just to clarify, BGM is re-recording in other words ? or did you mean more than that ?? :)

[Bala (Karthik)]

Ilaiyaraaja
Guna
Thalabadhi
Thevar Magan
Mahanadhi
Key Raam

Idhayam
Sethu

Rahman
Uyire
Kadhalar Dhinam

P.S: Avatharam padam pakkalla, but i'm 100% sure its got to be in the list 8-)

Needless to say, sila pala worthy candidates miss panniruppen...

I think Roja, Bombay, Indian, Muthu and Padayappa will get many nominations

[Plum]

Full film.
Preferrably, a great movie with great BGM. S A Rajkumar nominations will be summarily rejected, irregardless of the stature and feelings of the person nominating ;-)

[Aalavanthan]

if Deva can be included, then my strong nominations would be

Baashaaa
Avvai Shanmugi - especially the make up scene bgm with Kamal/Nagesh

Oru idea - based on pure numbers, 20 choose paNNittu, appuramA, bringing down to 10 qualitiative-A paNNalAmA-nu...

[Aalavanthan]

patchi is telling.. eppadi irundhaalum IR is going to win the race but to have a healthy competition, lets restrict IR's bgm to 5 in the end list of 10.

illaati final 10la IR will be with 8 nominations :)

[Plum]

seri, nominations from me

Idhayam I have only heard not seen the movie fully so not nominating
Thalapathy - I thought the thalapathy chorus was embarassing. Not upto full IR standards, IMO.

So, here goes the list:
Mahanadhi ( I am not hiding my preference, am I? :-) )
Hey Raam
Gunaa
Thevar Magan
Kizhakku Vaasal(fabulous senthoorapoovae-based theme)
Anjali (was it 1991? Very strong contender, if so)

(More to come)

my nominations
IR - Guna, Mahanadhi, dhalabadhi

ARR - Uyire, Kadhalar Dhinam, Thiruda Thiruda, May Madham, Indian, Padayappa

infact i like almost all of thalaivar's BGMs

[Plum]

I am running the BGM from memory and writing this so excuse any minor errors:

A train passes unobtrusively. There is a flute(?) making an intriguing entry as though an outsider taking stock of a new place. A few exploratory strains follow. Then it starts. The Guitars and Violins. The theme music - it is melodious but ominous. A foreboding of tragedy. There is a heart-tugging section of strings playing the theme of the movie - and you know that the calm ambience you are being introduced to is a teaser - what is going to follow is a tale of heart-breaking journey of a naive, doomed soul. Mahanadhi. (will be continued)

[complicateur]

I think Gopura Vasalile should at least be mentioned in this thread.

[Plum]

Ofcourse, Compli. I knew I'd miss a few gems. I add Gopura Vaasalilae to my list.

Everyone, if you update your list, request you to publish a comprehensive updated list to make counting easier later. I'll start backwards from the last page and take cognisance of the latest updated comprehensive lists of each person.

Let's take our own sweet time until 28th November for nominations.

[AravindMano]

I think Gopura Vasalile should at least be mentioned in this thread.

:exactly:

Ah, that title score! :)

[Sanjeevi]

I'll add Thiruda Thiruda to my list as well

Equally, the principals involved is each of them a stalwart that we can also say that "IR is not required; Sivaji and Kamal would have carried it anyway"
However, Sivaji and Kamal are both needed if you remove the BGM.

[complicateur]

That of course goes without saying Plum. Veritable perfect storm with even bit players like Sangili Murugan and Renuka doing their job very well.

[VJerry]

Actually i had added it initially. On second thoughts i could remember the fantastic BGM (kaapi raagam) towards the climax when the parents have a mana-maatram but apart from that and a few pieces, i remember the annoying "thana naa naa" by Bhavatharini!
Hence remo-ed!

I think thErdhal should be changed to "best non-IR BGM of 90s", just to avoid unnecessary splitting.

Current thErdhal could lead to winning of some other inferior work (means non-IR defeating IR), causing embarassment to the hub :-)

[Bala (Karthik)]

Let's vote for this!

I also join the band wagon for renaming the thread to best non-IR BGM [1991-2000]. Modhalla idhukku vote pannuvom :yes:

[Plum]

No, I dont agree. As I have mentioned several times before, a Voting thread is just an excuse for me to generate discussion and analysis. If this dusts off equa's brain and makes him do a post on Mahanadhi, then my purpose will be solved.

[Raikkonen]

Gopura Vasaliley, Idhayam, Mudhalavan 8-)

[steveaustin]

ARR :

Rhythm, Anthimandharai, Indian, Iruvar

For me, till date, Rhythm is easily the best ever work (BGM) of ARR. No other work of ARR come close to Rhythm.

ARR fans missed out Rhythm. :shock:

Deva:

Vaali, Porkalam, Natpukkaga. In Vaali, haunting piece of Piano is still going in my mind.

IR:

Idhayam, Hey Raam, Siraichalai, Dhalapathy, Sethu, Mogamul, Nadodithendral, Houseful, TIME, Unnai nenaichaen paattu padichaen, Guna, Devar Magan, Avatharam, Karisakaattu poove, Mahanadhi, Azhagi, Valli, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and Poonthottam

Why IR fans missed out Siraichalai???. :think: :think: :think:

VS:
Pasumpon

However, my top 5 choices would be like this

It is too tough to choose between Heyram, Siraichalai and Idhayam.
Next 2 in the list will be Rhythm and Porkalam.

[viraajan]

Hey Ram (anEgama en vote'u idhukku thaan... hmm... paakkalam :) )
Thalapathy :yes:

[Dinesh84]

Hey Ram, Thevar magan, Roja, Basha :smokesmile:

[Aalavanthan]

Devar Maghan - The death of periya devar and the scene that follows to show Kamal as next devar..

It was different, as when someone dies, the MDs would usually go for the "pE pE pE pEEE" with the nadhas or sax.

But IR went on with "aala" with a bit of soga raagam. Usually the bgm would make you cry but this one is unique. It doesnt make you cry but it makes you feel bad that periya devar is dead. But with the continuing "aala" the sequence quickly changes and the backdrop with flashy images of Kamal becoming next Devar is something genius.

Now this is where your eyes tickle the tears after seeing Kamal and the "aala" still continues in the background.

Wonderful !

[MADDY]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCQPyzt9ibM&feature=related

opening with opera, the musical piece sets out to search the soul's uncombed territories..........the wafer thin sitar notes accompanying the opera hum, grounds us with protaganists', as well as our geographical ignorance.....the synth bass, that follows, further intensifies the menace and hints at impending disaster for Amar
Khan varma in his path of desperation......sukhwinder's vocals, lazed with lust and love unequally with its echo effect, makes it sound like a voice coming from a deep hollow tunnel called "soul"......the tabla notes that follow, steers us to normalcy but only to be pushed back to oblivion with opera pitching in again......the aggressive synth bass, accompanying the tabla doesent let the song getting straightjacked into routine.......the echoing vocals, synth bass and opera humming, blend to
crisscross our senses and give us a perfect picture of the "boy next door's" dangerous wandering into unknown and unnneccessary terrotories......thump of the african type percussion that follows the scream sounds, is indicative of the girl's dark background and that danger to hero because of her is something organised....she
belongs to a group, to a world that is never accesible to love and the protaganist........the guitar strum rounds this musical piece off, confirming our doubts of impending danger for protaganist, raised by synth bass.....

i think this can be called a work of psycedelia, since it had all ingredients - sitar, tabla, indian notes, intoxicating vocals, guitar and bass........more than anything, the haunting effect hasnt eroded even after 12 yrs, it has increased maybe

[groucho070]

Tough, very Tough. I'll leave out IR's one. Even those films with not so good songs, have wonderful scores...even recent ones like MX.

ARR
Thiruda Thiruda (his best), Karuttamma, Uzhavan, Kizhakku Cheemaiyile, and definitely the forgotten Andhi Mandharai.

Sari, namma mindla takku-nu vanthatha patt-unu poduren.

Kamal list
Hey Ram - historic
Mahanadhi - tear-jerking.
MMKR - Action (would have ruled it out if Apoorva S. made it here).
Guna - Soul-stirring
Devar Magan - grandiouse

Rajini
Mannan - Super masala
Ejammaan - Folkish Romance

Others:
Marupadiyum - moving.
Avatharam - mystical
Chinna Gounder - Earthy


10 aacha? Okay, done. :)

Edit. How can I miss Talabathi :shock:

[salaam_chennai]

as gounder would say, i am not a meesical. here are my 15 cents

Raaja
Thalabathi
Sethu
Thevarmagan
Mahanadhi
Heyram
Idhayam
Moghamul(didnt watch the movie fully. till whatever point i saw, bgm was good)

Rahman
Alaipayuthey
Roja
Ratchagan
Iruvar

Deva and others
Baasha
Kushi
Kurithipunal
Annamalai

[Scale]

Raaja's - Thalapathy & Guna (1991) . I still remember the deepavali which blossomed my musical interest at 12, Watching both these movies is an incredible experience. While every others of my age was going gaga over Rajni & Kamal, Raaja's music just blew me completely. Manusan eppadi thaan manage pannaro. Especially Guna's bgm elevated the movie to a different level.

Then there comes the breaking wind Rahman (1992) in Roja on "The Independence Day" an anthem which hooked the whole Indian hemisphere towards kodambakkam panchathan studio. "tamizha tamizha" is my all-time favourite bgm followed by the Bombay theme. The patriotism, peace loving gist that exudates from these two tracks by this gifted prodigy is worth-mentioning!

[SoftSword]

A R Rahman

Roja
Bombay
Thiruda Thiruda
Indian
Kadhalar Dhinam

Ilaiyaraja

Thalapathy
Guna
Sethu

Will add more.

master...
how can u miss karutthamma & kizhakku cheemaiyilae...
sangamam doesn fall into the decade???

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

for many reasons, i dont want to vote and select one specific bgm as best, as there are many from different MDs mainly from IR & ARR. i shud have done the same in best album thread too, but i voted :(

only, best movies thread are eligible for voting as only movies seem distinctly different, not music. atleast the effect

Amaidhipadai.. menmayana love scens had interesting piece of RR by Isaignani :)

[groucho070]

Just noticed...

Amaidhipadai.. menmayana love scens had interesting piece of RR by Isaignani :)Tune belonged to a song that got axed I believe, "Sollividu Velli Nilavee". The other songs are terrible (The title marching song and the unnecessary Neeyachu, naanachu - low point in the movie itself).

But the BGM was superb. When Amavasai is doing nasty thing and is having us laughing our behind off, IR's music is sober, serious, reminding us the actual nastiness of the situation, it helped with the tragicomedy feel of the film.

When it comes to popular and "Janaranjagamana Isai" Deva is the best by end of 80's and in 90's. He was instrumental in shaping up the careers of Vijay and Ajith. Deva is often depromoted and his contributions downplayed by other MD's fans in this forum.
