Try the command record catalog from the early sixties through the mid seventies as well as the american gramaphone catalog from the seventies to about 2015 or many reference records and as for rock try early zz top and steve miller band. These should give you some new leads as well as if you like the newer heavier music you could try tool or candlebox's first album.




Anything but the fucking Eagles, man.

I've been using John Klemmer 'Touch', Robin Trower 'Bridge of Sighs', and Little Feat 'Waiting For Columbus' in both MFSL CD and 1/2 speed LPs for demo purposes since the 80's.

More recently I've used Dire Straights 'Brothers In Arms', Frank Zappa 'We're Only In It For The Money', and pretty much anything by Nickelback.
"The Riverboat Song" Ocean Colour Scene
"Lucifer" Alan Parsons Project"Sober" Tool"Bloody Well Right" Supertramp

Excellent suggestions as above.

Jamie Cullum -"Twentysomething" CD/SACD Verve (2004)
I share or showoff what ever music I'm into at the time. For me, it's not the detail of your system, it's the music you want them to hear and maybe to share your interest and enjoyment.
