So, yes, you do have a point there. Just that "not a single > non-ARR song" is perhaps not true for some of us.
You are right. I myself like Jaadu hai nasha hai a lot, and Illaiya raja's pa songs, and also Sur's Kabhi Shaam Dhale to aa jana (M M Kreem) that is not in ur list probably because it is a chorus, and there ought to be some more songs. What is surprising that I have not heard many songs from the above list, as I don't listen much to non-ARR now, Your list will serve as a good guideline for me to search and listen to these songs. Khili Rey is good song on its own right, my point was just to explore why this song is not getting ranked more, I didn't intend to undermine other MDs. ARR does remain the best in giving maximum numbers of sweet and soft female solos in last 18 years. ARR is his own major competitor in this genre now.
