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.

Early Stones.  Because they recorded on Decca in the golden period.

Plus most later Stones is crap.

But OP appears to posit the original recordings.  If you listen to LPs you have to look at MFSL (and some other reissues, very carefully chosen) for greatly improved SQ in many cases.  I would cite for instance Beatles for Sale and Revolver as astonishing, and the original EMIs were good.  Listen to I'm a Loser - Lennon is right there in front of you, his grainy voice perfectly reproduced.

Define audio quality, sound quality

for example Pavarotti may mean great in voice  sound quality which I do 

it’s a man’s world with JamesBrown 2 Goats in their respective categories.

Elvis Presley American Trilogy 

I Robot Alan Parsons which BTW mixed many Beatles Records which were Excellent !!

The Eagles - Hotel California

Eva Cassidy - Wayfaring Stranger

Alison Krauss with Union Station - Dimming of the Day

Define audio quality, sound quality

Audio quality -- as you define it.

Sound quality -- as you define it.

The lack of a universal definition for these things has not kept dozens of people from weighing in, so the lesson here may ultimately be about definition, itself. (Paging Wittgenstein...)

Jump Into the Fire - Harry Nilsson

Papa Was a Rolling Stone (long version) - The Temptations

Blue Jean Blues - ZZ Top
