Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align

So many, I could fill pages...

I like the earlier recommendation of songs from the ELP album, Trilogy.

I also like the David Sylvian recommendations.

Here's a few off the top of my head, that I listened to recently:

Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior / Great dynamics and clarity. Lenny White's drums sound killer on this.

Oregon - Out of the Woods / Anything on the album. Sounds like real musicians, playing in a real acoustic space. Beautiful chamber-jazz. 'Waterwheel' is a standout.

Andy Milne and Dapp Theory - Trickle Down / Rhythmically complex jazz, but still kind of funky. The percussion is very accurate and detailed. Milne is one of the best current jazz pianists.

Coltrane: Ballads

Columbia Hot 5s and 7s.

Getz/Gilberto

Freddie Hubbard: Blue Spirits

Richard & Linda Thompson: "Shoot Out The Lights", but the whole album of the same title is fantastic.

Daivid Lindley: "Mercury Blues", but the whole El Rayo-X album is fantastic.

Gordon Lightfoot: "Me And Bobby McGee".

The Beach Boys: "Don’t Worry Baby". Get it on the Analogue Productions reissue of the Surfer Girl album.

T Bone Burnett: "Driving Wheel". When looking for the Truth Decay LP, make sure you get one that says "Distributed by Chrysalis Records" under the Takoma Records logo on the bottom of the back cover. The later pressing---which reads "Distributed by Allegiance Records"---was mastered by an engineer who cut off the song after the band comes to a "false" ending! On the Chrysalis pressing, after the false ending the band comes back in and plays out as the song fades to silence.

Joe Jackson - Live in New York - Summer in the City

Medeley and other songs. This is for real. Live and dynamic.

+ 1 on "Live in New York - Summer in the City" by Joe Jackson (seek out the hybrid SACD version). Lot's of great "cover songs" on it. Speaking of which:

Edie Brickell - Walk On the Wild Side

Indigo Girls - Down By the River

Rickie Lee Jones - Showbiz Kids
