I could never pick just one, so I will take a pass on this one.
If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............
Your " best ever " recording, which has likely been discussed ad nauseam, would you select, say, if given a choice of only one ( whatever the scenario would be; stranded on an island, locked up in isolation, all music gone, but this one ). As hard as this is, as there are so many to choose from, I have selected " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ", by the esteemed Miles Davis ( 1992 Columbia version ). I have selected this, specifically for the performances, as I do with all of my listening. The playing.....the musicianship.....the arrangement.....the story, set to music, by the esteemed M.D.. And, my system delivers the message, so I feel proud of my set up. What can I say ? I hope everyone well, and, ENJOY ! Always, MrD.
Listening to the same song over and over, I was even able to memorize the lyrics hier, of some of the songs there. |
Great question! I simply cannot list just one, as all of these for me are must haves, and can't live without(s): Dave Mason - Alone Together George Harrison - All Things Must Pass Crosby, Stills & Nash - Crosby, Stills & Nash Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Deja Vu David Gilmour - David Gilmour America - America David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name

Any recording played too often would be sickening , but let’s just say all time favorites , and then what type of music , from Rock , to jazz to R&B to symphony country , easy listening , that’s what I mean just too many areas to cover , each dept you may have your own favorites. Classics are timeless , as long as your give them time to go into memory. |
1) Pop/Rock - The Soundtrack to the movie 'Phenomenon'. Every cut is wonderful, and there's a broad swath of musical styles and artists. 2) Jazz - "Beyond the Missouri Sky' Charlie Hayden and Pat Metheny. Absolutely transcendent. 3) Classical - 'Paul Galbraith Plays Bach: Violin Sonatas & Partitas'. Because they could not be performed on a standard guitar, he designed and built the instrument, he transcribed the pieces, and he performs them flawlessly. To accomplish one of these would be a crowning achievement for most. The achieve all of them is both humbling and inspring.

It's always interesting to read what others charish listening to , I've seen my top 2 already mentioned #1 David Crosby " If I Could Only Remember My Name and #2 Pink Floyd " Dark Side Of The Moon " and adding a #3 Beethoven's Symphony #6 conducted by either Fritz Reiner or Georg Solti conducting the CSO . We all know what the number 1 means but picking one is very hard with all the great music out there and for me all 3 are albums that I listen to over and over . |
