Wow an old album that rocked your world

Just played Pet Sounds and Highway 61 last night on a nostalgia trip.

Took my breath away once again despite having listened to them countless times. Both definitely on my personal top ten of all time list. 

+1 for Genesis and Cat Stevens, but different albums — Selling England by the Pound and Tea for the Tillerman still rock my world!  My taste must be a few years older...

BTW after reading the raves about the DCC version of Pet Sounds on the Steve Hoffman forum (well what would you expect?) I just acquired a copy at great expense. The result: distinctly underwhelmed. Those sycophants have no sense sense of objectivity when it comes to anything mastered by the great one.

Very muffled and flat sounding with a lack of dynamics and micro dynamics. If he had access to, and used the original the original master tapes, as claimed my name‘s Albert Einstein. If he actually did, he totally butchered them.

Several - Beatles' Abbey Road, Santana's Caravanserai, PMG's American Garage and Yes' Close to the Edge reward near field listening on the far superior to the back in the day system I have now. And I really enjoy the depth and clarity of the SACDs of the Jeff Beck Group Rough & Ready and Orange albums, the first ECM Pat Metheny Group album (w San Lorenzo & Phase Dance) and Keith Jarrett's Sunbear concerts - especially Kyoto.

One of the 1st records MY FATHER brought home one night after work.
It finally got re-issued recently on a Japanese CD label. Dave Brubeck- My Favorite Things. So not many people know about it. I like many of his records, but this is just about as good as the others. I played it many many times, and you know-I never get tired of it. If you like DB, then I know you will love it.
