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.

That's a hard question to answer. But here is my attempt.
If I really want to do a deep dive listening session, my go to albums are Pink Floyd "Animals" and Dire Straits "Love Over Gold". I could listen to the song "Dogs" a thousand more times, and I still pick up sounds and notes in the background. Just a masterpiece album in my humble opinion -- biting commentary on 1970's England. To test out the dynamics of a system, nothing is better than "Telegraph Road" and "Private Investigations" by Dire Straits. Subtle classical guitar runs, distorted guitar chords, and a soundscape that goes from whisper quiet to "1812 Overture" level sonics.
For the third on the list, I've been listening to the amazing Mark Hollis a lot lately -- his solo album and his work with Talk Talk. Specifically, "It's My Life", "The Colour of Spring", and "The Spirit of Eden". Just a fantastic trio of releases. Such a shame (see what I did there LOL) that Talk Talk never hit it huge in the U.S. and the work of Hollis was under appreciated during his lifetime. |
@bahston - you should hear some of those complete concerts with Branford and the Dead; there was a lot more than just those awesome 10 minutes. What was even more intense was when Ornette Coleman jammed with them; that really took them places they'd not been.... David Murray also added jazz to the occasion for at least one show.... The Grateful Dead worked a lot like jazz anyway, so I always thought these sessions would be a great idea.... |
