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.

Si tu me laisses - Nicolas Michaux

Booth Love - Umphrey's McGee

Mumbo Jumbo - Brent Lewis 

All I'm going to say is that people like you are the reason audiophiles get stereotyped as being all about the equipment.  Stop purchasing audiophile rated music and buy what you like.  You're saying that you can't do that?  Sheesh!

The Bros. Landreth, How Deep Is Your Love, from the Paul Yee-mixed album Undercover Bros. One of my favorite tracks and a great demo and test track.

Available on Tidal - the one with the blue cover.

Amber Rubarth, Losing My Religion, from the album Scribbled Folk Symphonies. Available on Tidal. A great rendition and wonderful sonics - huge open space, accompanying instruments very 3D. The definition increases and the space becomes clearer and more open with every system improvement.

Dave's True Story, Like a Rock, from the album Dave's True Story [Version 2002] available on Tidal. Great song and performance, with incredible open and 3D sound stage; all sounds seem very real (how about those fingersnaps!).

 

@mrmb Well, I don't have 18 TB of music but 28,500 LPs and 11,000 CDs.  I could not pick just 3.  However, for non-vocal/instrumental works, I have titles which I keep in my main listening room for musical and sonic blockbuster enjoyment.   

I'll through out 3 choral vocals anyway from the same CD, the Alamo 

Varèse Sarabande – VSD-5224

Tennessee Babe (Oh Lisa)

The Green Leaves Of Summer

Finale

Thanks all for the great lists to check out!  I'll share:

---Lyle Lovett:  If I Had a Boat

---Radiohead:  Subterranean Homesick Alien

---Kraftwerk: Tour de France

I agree most Pink Floyd is well recorded but unfortunately not (IMHO) their best work, Animals. I still haven't popped in the recent remix  -still in package...
