Nothing beats getting turned on to new music and going on a musical journey with my headphones.

List 5 tracks that make for an exceptional listening experience via the cans.

Format: Artist > Album > Year > Track Name

Here’s my list to kick it off…

The Outlaws > Outlaws (1995 Remaster) > 1975 > Green Grass and High Tides
Brad Paisley > Part II > 2001 > Munster Rag
War > War Live > 1973 > Cisco Kid
The Beatles > Let It Be… Naked > 2003 > For You Blue
Santana > Santana III > 1971 > Guajira

I have the house to myself this weekend and I’m looking forward to all of your recommendations!

i don't know about 5, but Elliot Smith is a unique listen with his recording techniques imployed.

i'll add tom waits for either his real gone or mule variation albums...just a lot of crazy stuff going on.


last but not least would be jonny cash america iv because the recording is sooo good.

Thanks for the reply. I'll check those out.

I'm looking for individual tracks in this thread. Tracks that really set it off in the Cans. Five or less is fine.

Pinkfloyd, I have always said you haven't herd Pinkfloyd, untill you listened to them on headphones. The must try Pinkfloyd would be the whole Dark Side Of The Moon

- Peter Frampton Live album sounds great on my Grado's

- Dave Matthews

- Clapton Unplugged

radiohead - kid a (the album as a whole)
daft punk - "harder, better, faster, stronger" from Discovery
sigur ros - "untitled #4" from ( )
the flaming lips - "yoshimi battles the pink robots part 1" from Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

some of my favourites.

My head (and ears) like lots of detailed information.

I'm just starting my equipment journey and I think I'm off to a pretty good start with the E-MU 1212m > Foobar2000 > ASIO > PA2V2 > Grado SR225s.

Maybe now you can zero in on something for me to listen to

For Grados and a warm tube amp:

SRV > Texas Flood > Texas Flood, Not sure what CD Little Wing is on, but thats my fave SRV recording.
Dreamtheater > Awake > The Silent man, Lifting Shadows off a dream
Eric Clapton > Clapton unplugged > the whole CD, its all good
Dire Straits > Brothers in Arms > the whole CD, its all good

 

[Samgotit]

Gomez - Tijuana Lady
Chris Isaak - Two Hearts
Radiohead - Everything in it's Right Place (again the whole album)
Badly Drawn Boy - The Shining

Rebeca Pidgeon - Spanish Harlem
Squarepusher - Iambic 9 Poetry

The last 2 were shamelessly stolen from previous posts asking the same question.

 

[Enverxis]

Alice in Chains - Unplugged (sounds absolutely MAD on Grado RS-1)
Angels of Venice - Angels of Venice (the percussion and woodwind sounds REAL on the RS-1)
Diana Krall - Live in Paris (Exciting and good track for piano, vocals, drums and guitar

)
Opeth - Damnation (excellent for male vocals, clean guitar and bass guitar)
Maudlin of the Well - Bath / Leaving Your Body Map (umm ... you have to hear it)

for recording quality/performance
