Occasionally you run accross a song that seems to have been improperly recorded. No matter what equipment you use to listen to it, it becomes distorted or breaks up at the same spot. Then you realize: it's not my equipment, it's just that the recording engineer dropepd the ball.
I can think of two tunes at the moment:
1) The Animals: House of the Rising Sun.
At the very end of the song, the very last note, the organ just falls apart. It's like listening to a bowl of rice-crispies snap, crackle, pop!
2) Led Zeppelin: Stairway to Heaven
No matter how I listen to this song, no matter what the equipment, I find some audible distortion in the moments immediately preceeding the guitar solo. I used to think it was just the crappy headphones I was using, but nothing I try allows me to eliminate the crackle. So I think it's gotta be the recording itself.
Any more examples?
