If you wanted to impress someone, which track?


Let's say a bunch of your friends are at your house, and they want to hear your "audiophile" system.

If you could only play one track, which would it be?

Rebekah Del Rio-Llorando. This is an accapella version of Roy Orbison's Crying sung in Spanish. I don't know anything by this singer except this one song from the Mulholland Drive soundtrack. Probably the most beautiful reverb I have ever heard. This silenced the room at an audio gathering I attended a few years ago.
I agree with Amused to Death (Roger Waters). It is fabulous, even if the Q-sound is a bit gimicky...not to mention the bizarre and depressing lyrics. To me, it is the best recorded rock CD of all time (sonics alone). The last 4 track are the best IMHO.

Also try Ricki Lee Jones 1st album...many good tracks such as "Last Chance Texaco" - "Company" and a couple others that are outstanding in both sonics and music. Sarah MaClachlan "Surfacing" is very good (try "I Love You" track or track 5 -- cannot remember the name). Also, Allison Krauss "Forget About It" or "New Favorite" CD's -- stunningly beautiful and recorded impeccably.

Neil Young's "Live at Massey Hall" is fabulous. Eric Clapton "Unplugged" is great.

Dire Straits "Love Over Gold" CD -- Private Investigations and/or title track are excellent.

Last but not least -- Eagles -- Hell Freezes Over "Hotel California" is great. Turn it up..especially the beginning.
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Bill Frisell on his "East/West" Great cut. If you've not purchased the CD, buy it. There is much to enjoy.
