Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align


Lately I’ve found myself alternating between music I love (but sounds mediocre) and music I don’t know well or only like (but sounds incredible).

Occasionally, I stumble across a track where the song could both serve as a great show off piece for my gear and I love the music.

If you can, name up to 3 songs where the audio and song quality take you over the moon with pleasure.

Bruce Cockburn - Kit Carson from Nothing But A Burning Light

Norah Jones - I’ve Go To See You Again from Come Fly Away

Emmylou & Linda - For A Dancer from Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions

+1 on L & M - Pathway To Glory from Full Sail !

@mrmb "It is as impossible to pick just 3-tracks, as it is meaningless to try. "

I’m not asking you to rank them. Just to name 3.

Others have not found it impossible. They have not found it meaningless. 

If I asked you to name three fruits, I bet you could do it.

It’s really that easy.

Perhaps have a drink first so you can relax into it. ;-)

Friday Night in San Francisco. First added because auf SOUND, but became a favorite. Ditto Steely Dan (did NOT know before standing in a vintage audio store and marvelled/wondered how well these old crappy speakers sounded). 

No trying trying the trifecta of sound, music and SACD.

This is a great list. Lady Blackbird is a recent discovery, and wow is she well recorded and musical.

I've found a number of great things on this list: 

 

Carley Simon, “You’re So Vain” there should me no mistake who she’s singing with

James Taylor, Dad Loves His Work, “Her Town Too” it’s all about JD Souther

Al Dimeola, Kiss My Axe, “Southbound Traveler” Bass so low it’s scary.
