I thought it might be interesting get a thread going that attempted to draw the connection between what the forum members listened to at home and a few of the recordings that sound great played back on it. If I like something I'll play it no matter how bad it's recorded...but when the two become one....well that's what I'm talking about.(imitating Kip from Napoleon Dynamite)
I know what a few here listen through but I think it would make it easy for this thread to include at least a general pic for each participant. I guess details not too important other than to get a general sense and see what the other guys/gals are listening to.
Okay, I get to go first...I'll throw out some songs and provide a link to a pic of my system:
listening to this system....

here's a few songs that I'm currently enjoying:
-Low Rider - War
(this just a show off tune...the dynamics sensational... bass is big and that dam cowbell!)
-The Great Pumpkin Waltz - Chick Corea -Happy Annivers. Charlie Brown
(I love beautifully recorded jazz piano..this song = goosebumps)
-Naptown Blues - Wes Montgomery - Goin' Out of my Head
(the CD recording is the best I've heard of his...the song is good....the guitar player is awesome and the genius of Oliver Nelson is at work with the big band)
-Besame Mucho - Wes Montgomery -Boss Guitar
(his guitar playing is so beautiful I had to mention it)
-Stir it Up - Bob Marley
(he made some great recordings!)
->Cool #9 - Joe Satriani
(this sounds SO uncompressed...clean, mean and raw...and what finesse!)
->She Caught the Katy - The Blues Brothers
(just a fun song thrown in...a really tight band...well recorded...I love the Blues Brothers)
...maybe I'll get some new ideas from the folks here for some additional music selections to add to the collection. :)
So, in a nutshell:
1) you like the song
2) dang it sounds nice on the stereo
