Oregonpappa, what is wrong with Ella or Sarah? Winnardt, just pick up any Beach Boys disc. Mahler123, definitely but Brahms and Shostakovitch do it for me and Paulburnett what is wrong with the Cribs, Arctic Monkey or Modest Mouse.
As for Joni Mitchell her music stands as her only testament. I melted over Blue when I was a kid. However her life was a total train wreck and I would never hold her out as an example to my girls. I wish her the best in her final days.
Anybody besides me like Kate Bush?
Audiophilia and music are two separate enterprises that to some extent influence each other. An Audiophile won't listen to anything that does not sound good and a lot of the good sounding stuff is trivial at best. Music lovers will listen to anything they consider to be good music. Of course in many of us these overlap.
Where am I in this...Last night I listened to an original pressing of Moby Grape's first album (yes, with the finger) at 95 dB through 800 watt/ch towering ESLs and four 200 lb sub woofers each powered by 2000 watts.
Rock and Roll:)
