I didn't get much of a chance to listen a lot to his music in the last few years, but before that, these are my fav 1)Indira - Nila Kagiradhu(Tam) 2)Marghali Puve(Tam) 3)Maa tuje Salam - VandeMataram 4)Dilse title song 5)Roja - Ye haseen .. 6)Chandralekha(Tam - Tiruda tiruda) 7)Guru 7)Taal - Pick any song 8)Vennilave (Minsara Kanavu- Tam) 9)Masti Ki Paathshala (RDB) 10)Tuhire From Bombay.
Great as Rahman is, I feel that our North Indian friends are shortchanged by just being exposed to his Hindi filmi tunes. Some of his best work till date came in his early years in Tamil movies, including Pudhiya Mugam and Duet. If I were to pick the best compilation, I would pick Roja & Duet over everything else. Best song would be Anjali, Anjali which has elements of Carnatic, Jazz and Western Classical all weaved into one. First one (after Ilayaraaja) to actively use harmonies in music and this song stood out.
