What selections do you play when showing off your system to others?


I find that when I'm having someone listen to my system that I usually play the same 4 or 5 selections. I tend to lean towards vocals and acoustic presentations. Mine are as follows:

Hold That Line- Tedeschi Trucks Band

Roadhouse and Automobiles- Chris Jones

The Hunter- Jennifer Warnes

River Blues- Eric Bibb

Flight of the Hippo- Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

It's All in the Game- Merle Haggard

Your Bright Baby Blues- Jackson Browne

What are yours?

Sometimes it's even worse when someone has a reputedly worse system (acc to reviewers etc) that sounds better than yours!

@cd318  that would have bummed me out.  This guys ears are way better than mine, but speakers aside, I have wayyyy more $ in my electronics.  He is the one that got me started  down this destructive trail, but where his main thing is HT, I diverged and became obsessed (with obsessed being a relative term) with two channel audio.

I agree that we should invite them to bring their own stuff and/or select their own play queque.  It's the only way the music will get up close and personal to them.

But. I have to shamelessly admit that I take their keys away so they can't leave the premises until I get to play:

The King's Singers - Hard Days Night

Carole Horne - Noboby Knows

SRV - Tin Pan Alley

I have voice control in my streamer, have them talk into the remote and it plays whatever song they say. It’s a blast as we pass the remote around the room calling out songs.
