Oh no, its not humbug. Either an oversight or simply missing the news, is possible. Time has of course done a top 10 soundtrack in which Roja is listed.
Here's the link. http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/0,23220,soundtracks,00.html And this is what it says about Roja. Roja:Though he is renowned as the preeminent composer of modern Bollywood, A.R. Rahman was born and still works in Madras, 1,000 miles south of Bombay. His Tamil compatriot, the writer-director Mani Ratnam, yanked him out of jingle-writing to compose his first full score for Roja (The Rose) the tale of a woman whose lover is kidnapped by terrorists. Through this grim political parable, Rahman laced some spectacular melodies that not only serve the drama, they create their own[EM]as in the duet ballads "Yeh Haseen Vadiyan" and "Roja Jaaneman," which first are grounded in recitative, then suddenly ascend into celestial melody. This astonishing debut work parades Rahman's gift for alchemizing outside influences until they are totally Tamil, totally Rahman. He plays with reggae and jungle rhythms, fiddles with Broadway-style orchestrations, runs cool variations on Morricone's scores for Italian westerns. I've mailed both Vikatan and Kumudham asking them as to how/ why they ignored this achievement while giving considerable publicity to Mani's Nayagan in the Top 100 movies list. Hopefully they should take note.
