Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align


Lately I’ve found myself alternating between music I love (but sounds mediocre) and music I don’t know well or only like (but sounds incredible).

Occasionally, I stumble across a track where the song could both serve as a great show off piece for my gear and I love the music.

If you can, name up to 3 songs where the audio and song quality take you over the moon with pleasure.

@mrmb "It is as impossible to pick just 3-tracks, as it is meaningless to try. "

I’m not asking you to rank them. Just to name 3.

Others have not found it impossible. They have not found it meaningless. 

If I asked you to name three fruits, I bet you could do it.

It’s really that easy.

Perhaps have a drink first so you can relax into it. ;-)

Friday Night in San Francisco. First added because auf SOUND, but became a favorite. Ditto Steely Dan (did NOT know before standing in a vintage audio store and marvelled/wondered how well these old crappy speakers sounded). 

No trying trying the trifecta of sound, music and SACD.

This is a great list. Lady Blackbird is a recent discovery, and wow is she well recorded and musical.

I've found a number of great things on this list:
