But,he's not flawless.He was flawless till 2000. After that he's been rather inconsistent.He gave great music for Lagaan,Rang De Basanti, Kannathil Muttamithal and at the same time insipid music for films like Nee Manasu Naaku Telusu(Unakku20 Enakku18 in Tamil),Baba, Mangal Pandey. The worst is that fusion kind of thing in those insipid ones.Apart from that,lyrics were inane too say the least.

The actual copycats are Deva and Anu Malik kind of fellows who lift the entire song.(I've heard some of them long before I've come accross this itwofs site,and some of them are not mentioned in this site.Just a tip of iceberg!) Success is 90-99% perspiration and 1-10% inspiration.You need to be inspired to overcome the 'Starting' or 'Ending' problem,while doing any job.So sometimes you get inspired by nature(Like sound of birds,chirping etc.) or some previous composition of yours or someone else's.(The latter infact will be rather a subconscious one if yours is genuinely inspiration.) That's why,very often a few seconds of songs of Ilayaraja have some similarities with his prev. compositions.(This is conscious inspiration!)

Ganesh Kumar:</b> I have gone through the entire list atleast hundred times before and it is the most favourite link of anti-arr fans because that's the only place that gets close to being atleast partially successful in pointing a finger at ARR. Yes, I do see that there are a few places where Rahman was <i>inspired</i> but never has he fully lifted any song. If he feels like using some part of some other song he does it in a fairly clever fashion and that is what is necessary. You can either keep searching for inspiration or use such small bits here and there (mind you, in his entire career they have only been able to find 10 bits in various songs with <i> faint similarities</i> to other songs). And I don't see this as a very serious thing because he hasn't really infringed on anyone's rights and am sure even the creator of the original is happy that ARR found another way of using his music! :) <i>About the moderation, I don't know yar.
