... POORLY RECORDED SONGS THAT ...

Hello to all...

Was thinking about the songs I luv, that are so poorly recorded that it hurts my ears to listen to them - but because they are so great I just can't help myself 'cause they really moves me:

MEATLOAF: BAT OUTTA HELL

SPRINGSTEIN: ROSELITTA

NICKELBACK: BURN IT DOWN

Can you give me a couple or more, that you think are really great songs and such a disappointment in how they come across recorded (on vinyl, CD, Cassette or whatever...)

Everybody is into glam/pop. Some are just embarrassed to admit it. 

Kind of like Barry Manilow.

Just ordered Roxy Music’s first CD. No, not the compressed one, the original uncompressed one from 1984. I already have Manifesto on cassette, another super duper recording. Not to mention the second album. Cassettes were produced prior to the Loudness Wars, thank goodness.

Trivia: the model on the first RM album wound up marrying Chris Jagger many years later. Obviously Jerry Hall left Brian Ferry for Mick Jagger. Keeping it in the family!

My name is George. I am into glam/pop. And I'm not embarrassed to admit it. The Sweet. David Bowie. T Rex. Queen......and now The Struts.

@geoffkait  will look into Roxy Music. Haven't thought about them in years.

The Sweet! Now, that is the one pulled from under the bed. I have to go and buy something from them to hear if it still moves the way it did then.

I absolutely love "God Foder" and "Are You Normal" from Ned's Atomic Dustbin. But the SQ on both of these CDs is horrible. I rarely listen to these on my home system. But I do enjoy them on my car stereo and also via iPod and earbuds while mowing the lawn.
