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.

Andy Narell....Slow Motion (Bernie Grundman masterpiece)

Duke Ellington and Johnnie Hodges ... Back to Back

Anything performed/written by Pennywise, though it won’t take you over the moon. 

Hey @hilde45 

Rather surprised that you don't think that SD albums don't have top shelve recording, mixing and mastering.  They certainly don't sound forward or harsh on my system, rather pin-point accurate.

I say this partially due to the fact that I've been to Masterdisk and sat in the mastering chair and listened to Two Against Nature in several forms. My home system (in my opinion) sounds better than the mastering system.  Which could very easily mean "less accurate".  Mastering systems are for mastering.
