So you have your heaphones. What song gives you that 'feeling' when you use them?

Listening with my E4s, out of 2G iPod Mini through Ray's new Hornet amp at the Ft. Worth meet this weekend, one of my favorites brought a tear to my eye. Most probably haven't heard it, as they're a little known prog band. But if you ever get a chance to listen to More Than Meets the Eye by Jadis, check out the title track (and the entire CD for that matter). Starts with a beautiful flute solo and transitions to a gorgeous song.

D66 gives me that chilling feeling when I'm listening to instrumentals or female vocals. The isolation, soundstage, and great midrange/highs all contribute. No amp needed

Jean-Michel Jarre, "Equinoxe, Part VII", from The Concerts in China (or parts 6 and 7 off the studio album)

Well I think that are many songs that easily fall into place for me as well.

The immediate song that comes to mind is Rush-2112. To me this the ultimate headphone song….

Lately Alterbridge- Down to my Last

MS-1

Guns'n'Roses-Paradise City. IMO, one of the best songs ever. Also everyone wiht a good pair of headphones owes it to themselves to listen to Lenny Kravitz's cover of American Woman. Not one of my favorite songs by any means but the sound (especially the opening guitar) is absolutely outstanding if you have some nice cans.

crying doesn't make you a wimp. great music should be felt to the hilt, and if tears are the result, so be it.

the final act of wagner's ring cycle had me in tears. i didn't care that anyone in the operahouse could see. it was a powerful emotional catharsis and i wasn't going to waste it by holding back.

Exactly - horror and sadness and "HOSH IT" all put together when Maria Callas goes off on...


"TOSCA: Presto! Su, Mario! Mario! Su! Presto! Andiam!"

I thought the HP2 was haunted after that performance, so I had to dumb it back down with a few rounds of "No Scrubs" by TLC

No no, I know that.
