I often have to tell some friend a list of "reference" titles to try DVD-Audio, or a list of must-have titles. What would you guys recommend to a good friend?I don't mean discs that shine technically, but discs that 1) sound good and 2) you like to spin on a regular basis (ie good music :)
To get the ball rolling, here's my typical list:
- The Flaming Lips, Yoshimi battles the Pink Robots, stereo and multichannel
- Harnoncourt, Bach, Matthaus Passion, MCH only
- Bjork Vespertine, stereo and MCH
- Marvin Gaye, Essentials
- Bryan Ferry, Frantic (esp. the stereo version)
- Beach Boys, Pet Sounds (MCH + bonuses)
- Big Phat Band, XXL
- Ry Cooder et al, Buena Vista SC
- Paul Simon (can't remember the title)
- Miles Davis, Tutu (2CH and MCH)
- John Lee Hooker, Mr Lucky (and, second, Boom Boom) - I know it's a DAD, but so what?
- Jonathan Richman, Home of the Hits (MCH only)
- Neil Young, Harvest (2CH only)
- AIX Sampler
- Led Zeppelin HTWW (i have doubts) ?(Since I'm typing from memory, I may be forgetting some. It's also fairly obvious from this list that I don't listen to classical music :)
If each of you could cut, paste, add your own titles and delete the ones you don't like, we could develop a pretty good list that could be useful for newbies
