Vijayshekar has listed ten soulful songs of Ilayaraja in his post http://vijayshekar.sulekha.com/blog/post/2008/03/ten-soulful-songs-of-maestro-ilaiyaraja.htm
Here is my list of the maestros songs

1. Janani janani jagam nee agam nee
Janani janani

 
 



This song is sung my Ilayaraja in the film Thai moogambigai.
The film was about the life and teachings of Shri.Adhi sankaracharya.
I love this song and whenever Iam off mood I listen to this....mmmmmmmmmm how it fills my heart, my mind and the whole body.

2. Raja raja chozan naan
   Sung by K.J.Jesudass
Raja raja chozan

This is a very melodious song with a grand background music. I love to play this in my keyboard.

3.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXCkqLQEuLE
  Sundari neeyum sundari naanun
This song is from the film Michaelmadanakamarajan.
Kamalhaasan and urvashi in a traditional palghat malayali attire with venn pattu(half white sari in silk)
dance to the tune.Carnatic raag ketharam enhances the beauty of the lyric or vice versa.In one version kamalahaasan has rendered his voice and another by S.P.balasubramanian.S.Janaki's voice is sweet.

4.Andhi mazahi pozigiratu

andhi mazai

This song was sung by S.P.Balasubramanian and S.Janaki.
kamalhaasan is blind in this film.
Superb orchestrization. This song actually brought out
Ilayarajas mastery. His talent was recognized.

5.sendoora poove...........................
  This song sung by S.Janaki
in padinaaru vayadinile which was Ilayarajas super hit for His best friend Director Bharathi raja.Janakis piercing shrill tone will be heard, ringing in our years for hours

6. Vellai pura onru
Sung by Jesudas ....
at his melodious best.

7. kaatril endhan geetham
Film Jaani....actors Rajanikaanth and sridevi.
Voice...S.Janaki

8.Enn vaanile...ore vennila
  Sung by Jensi in Jaani
  Jensi's voice is unique....a high pitched,shrill but clear voice.

9. ilangaathu veesude
   Sung by sriram parthasarathi
in pitamagan ...a film by actor vikram
I like this song because it it sung in a low and melodious note.

10.Paarijatha poove sung by s.N.Surendar. S.N.S has sung many songs for ilayaraja but unfortunately his songs are mistaken to be sung by S.P.Balasubramanian. Infact his voice is entirely different as it has a soft and soothing voice.

There are innumerable singers like chitra,s.B.shailaja who have rendered their voices.
Listing Ilayarajas songs is like counting stars.
Thanks vijayshekar for the opportunity!
