hi all,

I love all his compositions. but I personally like his rendition in a recent symphony which is a private album. his janani janani in that has surpassed his original, may be because he has grown up as a person..in the spiritual sense..

I like his thiruvasagam also....

His movie songs...

Amuthae Thamizhe,

Thendral vandu mutthamittadhu,

mandira punnagayo

I like too many to list..and i like the ones which are more confirmed to a classical note.

Hi,
Me and my dh are die-hard fans of ilayaraja sir..actually there are a lot of songs..To name a few..
Yedho ninaivugal kanavugal form the film agalvilakku--This song really takes me to my past memories.I love this song

En iniya pon nilave--Yesudas's voice just makes me mad....

mehame mehame pal nila theyudhey--This song is close to my heart as this was my athai's fave..She used to sing this song beautifully.Ironically this was the last movie watched by her as she died of cancer which coincides with the heroine character in this film..Sorry for disturbing u all guys with my rant...
