The Good Stuff


There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

My CD has a different cover art, but it is the same album.

Except for the fact that what is good to some is drivel to others.

Gallagher was to Ireland, what a young Bruce Springsteen was to Asbury Park, New Jersey.     

I had the pleasure of seeing Rory Gallagher and his band 3 times and this performance from his 1974 Irish Tour.

Hard to pick a "favourite guitarist", but Rory is always top 3.

Here's a few of my CDs that I find are easy to get lost in:

Telarc - Ceremonial Music for Trumpet & Symphonic Organ by Rolf Smedvig & Michael Murray

Stand Ye Steady: Songs of Courage & Inspiration by Usma Cadet Glee Club

The Sound of Glory by Mormon Tabernacle Choir on SACD

The first three are fantastic recordings and great listening music.  This last one is a slight step down for recording quality, but you enjoy this type of music it'll suck you in every time.

Love Divine: inspirational CD by pianist Ian Mulder & London Symphony Orchestra (there's actually six of these and they are all great listening)
