... 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...)

Excellent information in this thread guys. I concur with the above, most Hard Rock, Metal and Punk is poorly recorded (low-fi approach).
Happy Listening!

What do you guys think of the SQ of Bruce Springsteen's - "Nebraska"? I know he intended it to sound that way, but listening to it always makes me wonder how a high-quality audiophile version would have sounded.

It doesn't hurt my ears to listen to it, and part of the charm is the low-budget way it was done, but I wish "The Basement Tapes" (Bob Dylan and the Band) was better recorded.  That said, I think Garth Hudson did a good job with the limited resources he had.
