The Best Music You Have Ever Heard?


To be specific, what three pieces of music are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and make you feel happy and relaxed? Plus, needless to say, happy with your system. I know the answer to the question is highly subjective and personal. Here are my three choices (in no particular order):
 
1. Sunshine In The Rain, by Ryan Farish  - From the CD Beautiful.
 
2. Summer Wind, by Frank Sinatra - From the album Strangers In The Night, streamed via Qobuz.
 
3. Samba Pa Ti, by Santana - From the MFSL UltraDisc One-Step album Abraxas.
 
Please share your thoughts on your selection and feel free to nominate more than three choices.

“Best” is not a term I use when thinking of music as it’s art & all subjective & how it makes you feel at the time but some songs I really like & always make me feel good:

”These Days” by Jackson Browne.

”I Feel The Earth Move” by Carole King.

” Can’t You Hear Me Knocking?” by the Stones.

Numerous Beatles & Cat Stevens songs are of course permanently enshrined in my all time favorite category & not necessary to list.

I’ll bet you can guess my approximate age…

1) Eyes of the World Live   Grateful Dead W/Branford Marsalis

Who would've thought that throwing in Branford with the Dead was a good idea...turned out to be A GREAT idea. 10 minutes of jamming off of each other.

2) Cafe Mocha  Jesse Cook

For me, something about a classic/flamenco guitarist slapping the guitar, it's like they're begging the guitar to squeeze out more sound.

3) Misere mei, Deus    The Choir of King's College

All I can say is ethereal.

The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing.

These are albums, not just songs:

"Behaviour" - Pet Shop Boys

"Time" - ELO

"Secret Wish" - Propaganda

"The Queen is Dead" - The Smiths

"Another Place and Time" - Donna Summer
