All of AR Rahman's soundtracks are good...All of them...

He has composed music for 107 films most of which have more than 5 songs each (= more than 600 hit songs!!!!) . My favorites are:

Roja - All Songs

Dil Se - All Songs

Bombay - All Songs

Tiruda Tiruda (Tamil) - All songs

Guru - All Songs

Swadesh - All Songs

Rang De Basanti - All songs

"Genda Phool" from the film "Delhi-6" is also good and quite different from all his scores.

Uniqueness of his score is that they have done well even after translated into multiple languages like Tamil, Malayalam & Hindi they retain its original flavor.

List of his films are:
