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.

If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. -- Duke Ellington" The only problem with applying this quote is, none of us possess the ears or taste of an Ellington! As long as we interpret "successful" to mean as "it sounds good to me", aren't we simply rationalizing our personal preferences? I don't believe this is what Ellington had in mind.
