The Good Stuff
There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. -- Duke Ellington
This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.
Genre Immaterial.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

"As long as we interpret "successful" to mean as "it sounds good to me", aren’t we simply rationalizing our personal preferences? I don’t believe this is what Ellington had in mind."
Neither do I. And that is not the correct interpretation. I am sure he meant that ’Good Music’ crosses all musical, social, and cultural barriers or boundaries with it’s appeal, and as a minmum is considered among the best within it’s genre. I am sure he did not mean that ’Good Music’ was whatever he happened to like. Cheers

Larsman: I think you miss the point. List outstanding performances of the music you like, or even music you don't like. The emphasis being on the phrase 'outstanding performances'. 'Rock' is normally not my thing, but, the post of Rory Gallagher was wonderful. I loved that. Turn down the volume, and I could be a Rock fan. Most of the music in any genre is average. So, post the exceptional stuff that you think will appeal to many. BTW, this is not an Audiophile thread. So, no need to be confrontational. Cheers |

Kentucky Shore: The harmony is great, but the fiddle is awesome. Sometimes you have to listen for it. Frank and The Count: A match made in heaven. I have them ’Live at The Sands’. Both of these guys are in a class by themselves. Swag. Rising Sun: Very good, although it did bring back painful memories of my Mom taking us to a neighbor's house every Sunday night to watch the Ed Sullivan show.
