Maybe...But they are not as good as our Malayalam Songs..
Talking seriously, many of Tamil songs are just hippad-hopped , damkunakkina......kind of songs.....lol...
But, most of Malayalam songa have some good sense and better music works.
If you can understand Malayalam, atleast a bit, you would really start appreciating it a lot...

well maybe the newest ones are the fast beats, but
the 80s and 90s Ilayaraaja music was without equal
in any language.

Yes. You are right.

But, some of the new songs are also really great..

thnks farcey...shall check it later at nite since am at work now!!!

well i dont understnd a bit of tamil or mallu but jus tht dese songs were played almost everyday as i had loads of frens so i know the words n all....dunno the meaning ....!!!!

Come to think of it, Kannada songs also are pretty good (better than the rest I would say!!! ).

Talking seriously, I love songs from the 70s and 80s. They used to have everything - melody, beautiful and meaningful lyrics, good voice (notably SPB, S Janaki and our very own Dr. Rajkumar)!!!

Please note : S Janaki is from our land. She is a Malayalee.

Don't worry about the meaning of some of these new Tamil songs.
Especially the song you requested, I don't think it makes any sense
even if you understand the language. For example if I translate the
appadi podu song it goes something like this.

put it like that ...
put it like that excellently with your eyes
put it like this ...
pull and put with your hands

I'll carry you on my back to your village
I will play hide and seek with you..

and so on and so forth..


sometimes you wish you don't understand the lyrics of some new Tamil songs ;-)

This is Vijay from the Tamil movie Gilli.

You are right man. Nowadays, many songs don't even have a common sense. But, there are still some there in which we can be proud of, as Indians.

my ones are all by lucky ali

nd in english by bryan adams.......nd wonderwall tooo

The band I like the most was and is the 'Backstreet Boys'. I just love most of their songs.

For me...music starts & ends with Kishore Kumar & Rafi.
Absolute legends.

WHAT? Are you serious? How old are you? No offense, but Backstreet boys sounds good only when you are in class 5

You people should really try to listen to some Rock/Metal/Grunge.

LOL!!!!

i might be having the mind of a little boy.
Talking seriously, I don't hear so many Western songs, and just here some I get in my hands. That's why it goes so, and obviously, I like them.

amazing lyrics

Always ( Bon Jovi )

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But baby, that's just me

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always

If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you

Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

And I will love you, baby - Always
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always

Anyone interested in "Punk Rock"

My favourite in punk rock would be Fool's Garden, Joy Division, Sex pistols..

Here's Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

Bro even i like this song(Lemon tree)..... The video is cool too....
My favourite though is (probably any song by Pink Floyd )
Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd...

Code:

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the
steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, youlegend,
you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the
steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper,
you prisoner, and shine! 

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph, and sail
on the steel breeze.
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, come on you miner
for truth and delusion, and shine!

This one was written as a tribute to the original backbone of Pink Floyd. Syd Barrett who had to be removed from the band due to his fall from grace due to drug abuse.

In fact the entire album Wish you were here was a tribute to him....
