1977-2002

These songs were very popular in its time. I have done a very difficult job of choosing 25 most popular songs in the last 25 years.These songs i have selected are based on its popularity. Ceylon Radio used to rank songs in the 80s. For example Aayiram Malargale, Pon Malai Pozudhu songs were at no.1 for 25 weeks i guess. Everybody on the street were singing those songs. I guess all were widely popular for a very long time. I am sure others would have their own opinion about the list. Let us hear your thoughts and find out which songs come in all of our list. These songs may not be the best songs. But they were immensely popular.

1) Chinna Chinna Aasai - ARR - ROJA
2) Kalyana maalai - IR - PUTHU PUTHU ARTHANGAL
3) Ayiram Malargale - IR - NIRAM MARATHA POOKKAL
4) Senthura Poove - IR - 16 VAYADINILE

  karuppu than has been included. Mala mala was popular but do u like it now. Anyhow the listing business is like this only highly biased & unsatisfactory.( As an aside the worst listing was made by Bradman - greatest team. but as i said this listing business is like that)
  We can also have the best song for each year with most popular & personal liking That would be a better barometer of changing taste & trends in TFM

  SP,
  
  Please understand the topic well before you respond.
  
  
  You have included the likes of "Jumabalakka jumbalakka" in your list and left out "O podu" and others.

  You missed out 'Poo pookum maasam thai maasam..' from Varusham pathinaaru. I remember this song would feature almost 5 to 6 times a day in radio during the time of its release.
  
  and.. 'Vandhanam vandhanam.. ' from Thalaivaasal(Baalabhaarathy) the first gaana in a movie..
  
  Btw, There was a gem of a song.. 'Parotta Parotta..' by ARR in 'Vandicholai chinnaraasu..'
  SP. How did you miss it..?? ;-)

  Just like you missed "Gundumalli Gundumalli" from Raasaiyah. There are many more from IR is this genre.

  'gundumalli gundumalli' is from azhagi and the song frm rasaiah is 'thindukallu thindukallu'

  'gundumalli gundumalli' is actually from Solla Marandha Kadhai :-)

  Thanks for correcting rajasaranam. It is 'thindukallu thindukallu'. Anyway doesnt make much difference though.
