good music/poor recording, bad music excellent

Of the two, I would take "good music/poor recording" over "bad music/excellent recording", any day of the week. Quite often a great performance will override a less that stellar recording of that music. Of course, like all of us, I would prefer "good music/excellent recording", but sometimes it's hard to get that combination, but when you do........... :-).

Life's too short for bad music.

Yes, bad music is unacceptable even if it is sonically amazing. It reminds me of a story I once heard about the most sorry-assed audiophile who loved an LP of train sounds. He said it was a great recording. I bet it was. An idiot. I hope he was happy and was nice to his kids.

Listening to Enya (watermark) right now....good music, good recording!

With millions and millions of recordings in the world, why would anyone have to listen to a bad one?
