Establishing a common analog listening bias

Maybe it is possible to establish a widely accepted common ground in terms of listening bias by choosing and agreeing on 10-30 LPs all readily available new to all audiophiles for decent price.
If all listening tests and personal comments regarding the sound of components and systems in the various threads and posts would refer to any of these LPs mainly, everyones comments and experiences would much easier be understood by their fellow Audiogoners.

How about an "Audiogon baker's double-dozen"?

This would create a solid ground for all of us.

How do you think about this ?

I am also with Eric and Headsnappin.
What is bright, what is right timber/tone, what is warm, overly warm. You don't know as is differs from person to person depending upon their live music listening experiences. And biases.

It is this kind of double talk that is off putting. On one had you say 'fine with me" and on the other hand come with a smart alec comment 'pissing' quote.

The quote in itself is cool though and something to remember and practice.

May be it worth watching what follows, as Alex says.

With that said, I did not see any electronic music selection. I recommend a material with acoustic instruments in it so as form good ref ( as not many folks go to electronic music live concert).
I recommend:

Talkie Walkie by AIR

and if you really want one of the coolest sounding musical deep bass ( dub) with lot of slamming and chirping mids and high, I recommend

Steingarten by Pole (from your neck of the woods, D.)

Carry on!
