i never accused the clash of being "hi-fi" although from what i recall, "combat rock" isn't that bad, but they definately make better MUSIC than most hifi sludge.

i'll take the kingsmen's version of "louie louie" over most of the junk in the R2D4 list any day.

poorly recorded (and even played) music that has a heart will ALWAYS be better than ultrafi heartless tripe as far as i'm concerned.

music 1st, fidelity second.

"shonen knife: gasatanka giant" is strictly lofi, but it has a huge heart and can get my toe tappin'. that's what i call music.

if they ever wanted to name R2D4s that are hifi AND great music to boot, rykodisk kicks awesome (and cheap) compilations out with many tracks worthy of reference disc status when listening to new gear.

"the best of both worlds" features many great vocal tracks, many great dynamics tests, imaging workouts, subwoofer destroying bass and tweeter speed tracks. you could pretty much acess the quality of any system with that $10 2 CD compilation. aside from the recording quality, the music is downright awesome and varied.

every time i see yet another "miles davis" disc in the R2D4 list however, i cringe.
