Those rare albums that are great on first listen.
You know the ones. They blow your mind and make you glad you're an audiophile.
Share your favorites.
For me it’s usually some style or vibe I haven’t heard before. My list so far is around 20, but I’ll keep it to my top 5. Feel free to share as many as you like.
!. Poe ‘Haunted’
2. Spirit “Twelve dreams of Dr. Sardonicus’
3. Midlake ‘The Trials of Van Occupanther’
4.Tori Amos ‘Little Earthquakes’
5. Skindive ‘Skindive’
For he who wants no more than five, here are five more:
- Rockpile: Seconds Of Pleasure. A true super-group (Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner, Terry Williams). - The Beat: s/t. Fantastic Power Pop! - Los Lobos: How Will The Wolf Survive? - Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks: Striking It Rich. - Mary Gauthier: Mercy Now (produced by Gurf Morlix).

@bdp24 @immatthewj I'm not intending to maintain the playlist. I made it collaborative so that you and anybody else here can add their choices. I decided to ignore posts with more than 5-6 albums because it was too much work but if you want to add a dozen albums that meet the criteria of "great on first listen" feel free. I've never tried a collaborative playlist but I assume you can just make changes in your Qobuz account and it will propagate to the playlist but maybe that isn't how it works. |
There are many records I loved the first time for the music and still do. Focusing on Audiophile SQ, here are a few more. Roseanne Cash. The River and the Thread. SQ is breathtaking. Sarah McLaughlin. Mirrorball Sarah Jarosz. Build Me Up From Bones Tom Petty. Wildflowers Pat Matheny. One Quiet Night Bill Frissell. Everything he’s ever recorded plus many he plays on.
