Where are the musical hits?

6 months into 2006, I kept adding my favorite songs to a Fav2006 folder in my Laptop. Gosh, there were just 15 songs that made their way to the folder. And 'Thambi' is the only film in which I liked most of the songs.

Where have the hit songs gone? I guess..Tamil Cinema Music industry is at its worst phase. With run of the mill movies being churned out as Assembly line products, where is the scope for good music?

My list

• Unnai Kandane (Haricharan, Shruti) - Parijatham
• Namma Kaatile (Ilayaraja, Roshini) - Pattiyal
• Poi Solla poren (Kaykay, Kanmani) - Thirutu payale
• Thirutu Payale (Mukesh) - Thirutu payale
• Idam porul paarthu (Karthik, Sujatha) - Chitiram Paesuthadi
• Vaazha Meenukum (Gana Ulaghanathan) - Chitiram Paesuthadi
• October Kaatru (Boni, Maathangi) - Idaya Thirudan
• Tajmahal Oviya Kaadhal (Vijay Yesudas, Madhumitha) - Kalvanin Kaadhali
• Eno Kangal (Yuvan, Sadhana Sargam) - Kalvanin Kaadhali
• Dailamo Dailamo (Sangeetha, Vijay Anthony) - Dhisyum
• Nenjan Kootil (Jayadev, Rajalakshmi)- Dhisyum
• Thogai Virithu (Chinmayee) - Kalabha Kaadhalan
• Laelakku Laelakku (Kaykay, Sujatha) - Aathi
• Aththi Aththikaai (SPB, Sadhana Sargam) - Aathi
• Kaadhal Sutrudhe (Naresh, Sadhana Sargam)- Saravana
• All songs of Thambi(Sudum Nilavu, Ennama devi jakamma, summa kidantha, poovanathil maram undu)

The positive trend that can be noticed is that, the songs are distributed among many new comers and it is not the monopoly of few only.
