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. 
Genre Immaterial.

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

My copy is the original with different cover art.  Don't have to look at that silly cigarette dangling from his mouth.  That's considered French Cool.
