Same. I don't think we should discourage people from posting whatever type of music they like. I think all of us have a few songs that we secretly like that most wouldn't suspect. I've got to say that "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia has a soft spot in my heart.

I wasnt discouraging anyone. Everybody is entitled to there own taste and desires. I just thought it was humorous. Wasnt expecting that song to be the one that people would put down. More power to him if it makes him happy. I liked the song when it came out, but I wouldnt consider it to be one of my reference songs.

Well, shame on me, I forgot (besides many others) triphop saints from Massive Attack...every single track, makes me feel like heaven. But most of all, I AGAINST I, that´s like opus about Dr.Jackyll and Mr.Hyde, or it seems to me that way

And finally, LAMB, especially Gorecki and Gabriel.
 
The End, for now

And "Before I Forget" (Slipknot, R.I.P Paul Gray):
 
You surely know great music from Iceland like Björk, Sigur rós, Emilíana Torrini etc.  But I bet that even if You like great guitar reefs, especially alternative, probably You don´t know minimalist/experimental/rock band from Iceland, For a Minor Reflection.
 
Feel free to discover them...

listening to Dream Theater's 3rd album "Awake" atm and it sounds great, fantastic production imo.  Makes buying my Sennheiser HD-280 Pros worth every cent.  I'll never go back to crappy headphones/headsets.

I've recently been working in my new Sen HD650's and so I am reworking my entire library by listening to everything I find. Another fantastic album in its own right, and a soundtrack to a great movie to boot, Meet Joe Black melts reality when I escape in the imagery of the concept of this film. Thomas Newman created a fantastic fugue.

Which ones to pick...... 
 
For my AD2000 i'd say just about everything sounds magical but i'll list some off the top of my head that I noticed a large difference over my other Hps
  1. Cello suite no.1 prelude- Bach
  2. You Are Loved- Josh Groban
  3. Pie Jesu- Sarah Brightman
  4. Just about any Remastered Beatles songs, almost sounds as if they're in the room singing with you.
  5. Any songs from Zepplin, The Who, Rush, CCR, Pink Floyd etc... They literally all shine!
  6. L' Arena- Ennio Morricone
  7. No More Tears- Ozzy Osbourne..... Ooh that last guitar solo!

I probably have at least 50 more that blow my hair line back, while others melt my heart. Some say they aren't good for Classical but I beg to differ!
