I am not sure whether GM's talent as a lyricist has been discussed. Folks, believe he has written really fabulous songs most of them that suits the song situation perfectly. Ofcourse one can not rule out his talent as an allrounder in playing lot of instruments and enough capability for a good MD(but shadowed by his brother IR).

My vote for No. 1 ranking is Sindhiya Venmani from Poonthotta Kavalkaran. "Sindhiya Venmani Sippiyil Muttachu" - ultimate euphematic analogy of how a female conceives and what a elaborate way of informing one's wife's pregnancy in just couple of words!

  GA wrote the lyrics for Panner Nathigal. The song poonThalir Aada.. is good. Kodai Kaala Katre.. is not bad. GA also wrote lyrics for Puthu Nellu Puthu Nathu, a movie directed by BR.

  kudagu malaik kaatRil varum is written by Vaali,
  I think except 'paattaaly buthi sonnaar' all other songs from this movie are by Vaali, GA in one of his interviews had all praise for vaalee and said he regulary uses him to max. when he is MDing,

  IS "Tham thana tham thana thaalam varum" by GA. If yes, it is unarguable best!

  I noticed GA as the lyricist of some other songs too which I do not recollect now. They are really good. His problem may be he did not focus on one particular thing. He would have been doing very well with that talent alone (like TRajendar trying to do everything).

  Chendoorap Poove Chendoorap Poove from 16 vayathinile was by GA.
  
  As a MD, the following songs are my favorites.
  1. Vaa Vaa En Veenaiye
  2. Ammama Charanam Charanam
  3. Mookuthip Poo Mele
  
  There are more songs.
  
  In Pokiri Raja, under MSV he wrote some songs. "Vidiya Vidiya" and "Kadavul Padachaan" are by Kannadasan. GA might have penned "Pokirikup Pokiri Raja" and "Vaada Em Machikala".

  Though this is not a place to pitch in with mallu songs, I just wanted to mention about this good composition of GA. The song "Ekaanthathe neeyum anuraagiyaaNO" from the film "anuraagi" is a great number. It reminds us very much of "en kaNmaNi un kaadhali" since the meter is very similar.
