Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 Ok thinking of this right about now...what is one song that you can put on the headphones and just zone into that song? For me it is Stairway to Heaven...I know just an over used classic rock song, but the guy I was with at the time introduced me to Zeppelin and some other things that make listening to music interesting and I heard that song for the first time in headphones. And to this day, I still can flashback to that feeling I was having listening to Stairway To Heaven.
MarcM Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 I always preferred headphones for listening to The Wall and Quadrophenia. The Music Must Change off of Who Are You is good, too.
RonJonSurfer Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 The Beatles..so much was happening from speaker to speaker...headphones actenuate it nicely. Go with anything off the later albums..
Uncle Joe Posted October 6, 2005 Report Posted October 6, 2005 I don't think this is what you're looking for, BUT....The Rascals had a song called What Is The Feeling. There's a drum riff by Dino Danelli where the drum beat begins in the right earphone and beats a path across the top of your head to the left earphone. Awesome sound and feeling.
Batman Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 I think Pink Floyd is most dramatically improved by headphones
Steel2Velvet Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 "Whole Lotta Love" had a some cool track crossing moments. That was the first song to which I was introduced to the nuances of headphonics.
jman14141414 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 As Batman said Pink Floyd is great with headphones especially Intellersteller Overdrive.
Levis Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 "Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm" - CTD "No Rain", "Soak the Sin", "Change" - Blind Melon "Cover Me", "Far Behind" - Candlebox "Lightening Crashes" - Live Off the top of my head.
katie_sane Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 The most played songs on my ipod are by The Kinks, so I must like listening to them on headphones
edna Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 I meant those big headphones with a deep sound... on an iPod or walkman, I rediscover even Beatles or Stones, depending on what kind of recording it is...
katie_sane Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) I have never listened to music on those big headphones, only though stereo speakers, walkmans, discmans, ipods or live. The sound quality on the ipod, I think, it really, really good. And The Kinks sound GREAT on it!!! But this post isn't about sound quality, it's about music and the individual, how good music sounds when it is you and only you tuning in, hearing the different parts that someone else mightn't pick up, getting lost in your own little world "Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along, You want to get the meaning out of each and ev'ry song Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own..."

_Laurie_ Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 "Highway Star", Deep Purple. Edna, I LOVE THAT SONG!....deep purple rocks!
_Laurie_ Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 Did you see them on Live 8?....they sounded great, the guitar, drums, keyboard, everything was just WOW....
edna Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 No... I don´t remember them... maybe I was making a sandwich or something... Or maybe they didn´t show them in Spanish TV...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Posted October 7, 2005 Cool responses all...like to know what is going on in people's minds with music. And I miss big headphones from back in the day...they were the best!
_Laurie_ Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 No... I don´t remember them... maybe I was making a sandwich or something... Or maybe they didn´t show them in Spanish TV... I'm not sure if it was televised either, I saw the whole concert on AOL music...I missed alot of it when it was aired....so I got it on my AOL
edna Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 And I miss big headphones from back in the day...they were the best! They were fantastic... I wish I had one of those now... But I must say that the small ones that come with the Sony walkman are really good too...
Jenny Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 Break on Through - The Doors It also starts out in only one ear, then comes in through both when the bassline starts.
daslied Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 Listen to "May This Be Love" by Jimi Hendrix. I can't remember the exact panning of the individual instruments, but halfway through the song everything that was right goes to the left, and vice versa. Awesome.
Uncle Joe Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 Cool responses all...like to know what is going on in people's minds with music. And I miss big headphones from back in the day...they were the best! I feel so guilty because I have six sets. I don't use them often but every time I do I remind myself that I should use them more often. I especially like them for the Kinks, Katie. Not to mention Steely Dan. Abbey Road sounds great on them, too. I can go on and on.
