which issue of Medusa do you have. While I love the music, on mine, the cuts mostly suck
Famous Blue Raincoat (album and song) Jennifer warnes
Ancient Fennell Cleveland symphonic winds
I have a roomful of choices that would qualify, but to keep it short, "AJA" by Steely Dan, and "The Nightfly" by Donald Fagan. I see that the OP is looking for songs. Any song on either album qualifies.
That entire Annie Lennox album. Medusa is very good production wise. 

Sole fantastically produced pieces of music have been shared here. I am going to check many of them out. 

Thanks alot


  • Looking for a Home, Keith Greeninger & Dayan Kai (startlingly good recording)
  • Villalobos and Lodebauer, Recat (pings sound around your room)
  • Shelby Lynne, Little Bit of Lovin’ (very well recorded; initial few seconds will amaze you)
  • Jacintha, And the Angels Sing (bass and vocal, especially)
  • Brian Bromberg, Saga of Harrison Crabfeathers (bass!)
  • Nordic 2L classical recordings (any of them)
  • Dire Straits, Follow Me Home

Here are a few that come to mind...

Steve Miller - Wild Mountain Honey
Edgar Winter - Frankenstein
10CC - I’m Not In Love
Bassnectar - Music Is The Drug
Emerson Lake and Palmer - Still... You Turn Me On
Grateful Dead - Estimated Prophet
Hall & Oates - She’s Gone
Far East Movement - Like a G6
Jamiroquai - Feels So Good
Joe Walsh - Life’s Been Good
Little Feat - Skin It Back
Gregory Porter - Liquid Spirit
Rickie Lee Jones - Show Biz Kids
Roger Waters - The Ballad of Bill Hubbard
Rush - YYZ
Santana - Singing Winds, Crying Beasts/ Black Magic Woman
The Cars - Hello Again
Yes - Long Distance Runaround

These all sound great with my Fisher receiver and Bose speakers.
Its not the song. Its the recording. Nilsson Coconut will blow your mind. So will Tom Petty Don't Come Around Here No More. In Your Eyes. Or just about any White Hot Stamper. Or if you haven't discovered those yet there's always Born in Time, the last song on the 45 of Jennifer Warnes' The Well. But really, for most people anything I put on sounds awesome.  https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367
When I play Born in Time though, its just not fair.
