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.

Thanks for the Wynton Marsalis.  While it never sounded that good it reminds me of being a kid in the pew of the our small Baptist.  That experience shaped my listening preferences today

WAR along with Earth Wind & Fire, the two best bands ever!  The percussion on Four Cornered Room can only be fully appreciated thru JBLs powered by Phase Linear Amps set to 'Earth Shattering".
