_jr_ Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 You know, I got a nice set of headphones maybe, 8-9 years ago. Sony, the big ear muff style, and I'll tell you, it's the best 100 bucks I ever spent. So often, music is just the background of whatever it is you happen to be doing, but when you put on a good set of headphones, and really listen, that's when the music appreciation occurs. All the nuances are captured. That being said, here's my list of 'ultimate headphone songs': In The Hall of the Mountain King ~ Wagner Do You Feel Like We Do? ~ Peter Frampton Green Eyed Lady ~ Sugarloaf Linus and Lucy (Charlie Brown theme) ~ Vince Guaraldi The Prophet Song ~ Queen Eleanor Rigby ~ The Beatles Hibernation ~ Ted Nugent I'm sure if I went back and looked over my cds, I'd come up with a bunch more, but that's off the top of my head.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Posted October 18, 2005 Just listened to Sapce Oddity ~ David Bowie here at the station in headphones...WOW...COOL...now all I need is a little whiskey...LOL!!
Levis Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Earworm attack!
Crazy Don Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 One of my favorites to listen through headphones is the Grass Roots' "Let's Live for Today." Each verse starts out in one channel and moves to the other! (Unfortunately, on some CD's, they fixed that so the verse is in the same channel, and it's not so cool! I suggest you find a stereo LP with the song on it and listen to that if you still have a turntable!)
edna Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 I used to record my LPs on tapes for my Sony walkman and I love this stereo effect... it´s true, some cds are remastered/retaped/rewhatever and they don´t sound the same way the LPs did...
_Laurie_ Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 Wish You Were Here....Pink Floyd...great on the headphones...I think someone already mentioned it but, I just love this song...one of my favorites.
Jugband_Blues Posted October 30, 2005 Report Posted October 30, 2005 the end of "What is and What Should Never Be". the guitar going from side to side is awesome.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Posted November 1, 2005 Children of the Sun ~ Billy Thorpe...I played it as a request today and I had the headphones on and it is awesome at the beginning!! Learn something new, or hear something new all the time!
