I havent written a lot in this group but that doesnt mean i dont like Rahman. To me, he is the BEST THING EVER that happened to Indian Music.
The first time i heard Yuvvraaj music, i felt that was a load of crap. But hey, thats what i felt when i heard Kaadhalan first. Same with Dil Se, or Taal. I cant remember one of Rahman's that i liked the first time. But Dil Se and Taal went on to become my all time favourites. He makes this wierd kind of music that grows on you then makes you go crazy over it. Thats one of the things that makes him a music director different from others. He doesnt bring out stereo type music lik Pritham does or stupid Himesh Reshamayya does. (God, im comparing Ferraris to Maruthi 800s. Pritam and Himesh should be proud that at least i said their name in the same breath as Rahman's). A good critique finds the strong points of a piece that he is critiquing. The main point my brother Jehanzeb missed out here is that, the music is different from what bollywood is churning out day in day out. It takes time for someone to get used to that music. That never means the music is bad. Your ears are atuned to mainstream Himesh, Pritam or whatever. They may give you short time ecstasy.... But Rahman brings that mystique to a song which makes you want to listen to it again when you havent actually liked it the first time. Then you listen it a second time and think "Thats not bad after all". The third time you go "I kinda like it". Then after a few time you go, "Wow! thats wonderful". I have gone through that phase with every one of his compositions. So my point is even if Yuvvraaj ends up being Rahmans weakest ever, it is better than the rest out there... (Its my opinion and solely my opinion)..........

I'm sure there will be another "Janhanzeb" trying to make people understand how Arr disapointed yet again. but outof nowhere it becomes a classic after a year for some of those. I have nothing against your taste...but Here is the most imp point you migt havs missed!! 1.ARR is the highly paid music director...paid big bugs!!! 2."Big deal" producers still trying to get ARR as their film music director. They wait more time than even a ARR-Fan waiting for ARR's release. Do you think the producers like ARRs divine feelings??.. or they like his recording theater,or place where he lives or they liked him because he composed Roja, Dil se, Rangeela(hahaaaaaa) . na na na..this aint joke!! they go to him because of the "MASS", CURRENT MARKET not the "1996 popularity". .and these cant be given only by Fans but a lot lot more people need to like the music. but here is the catch with ARR - The MASS you are talking about is the "FANS". If ARR fans like it then it already reached the mass. be assured about it.If you dont like it guess what? I pity you. You are one of those small..tiny winy group who doesnt likes this..!!!! sorry!! no Offense...you asked for it bro.!! dont glue your eyes and ears to your music system with Yuvvraaj playing..just relax yourslef.focus on your normal day to day life and have this song played in yoru car,living room when you have dinner..rom nowhere it hits you like a storm...!! --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, "Jahanzeb Farooq" <jahanzebtippu@ ...> wrote: > > man you have to accept it. although it is growing on us and we have > started liking more compared to the first time, but the fact remains > that it is not something liked by the masses. only one song Tu meri > dost would be liked by the masses but not the rest. even recent ARR > albums had many songs loved by masses (and critics) e.g., Tere bina, > Mayya mayya, Barso re (Guru), Pappu, Aditi, Kahin to (JTYJN) etc etc. > Furthermore the fact remains that Yuvvraaj does not have even a single > song which can be called just mibdblowing or plain awesome as per the > ARR standards etc. comparing to Taal it still remains a HUGE > disappointment, if not for us (ARR fans) certainly it is for masses. > the weakest songs of Dil se, Taal or Bombay are still better than > strongest song/s of Yuvvraaj. > > lets analyze it.
