I 100% agree on these two.
Dire Straits, Ride Across the River
SRV, Riviera Paradise
I'm tired now. I'll post some others later.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
My current picks are NOTHING like they would have been 10 years ago. Though I have posted them before on this forum?
Y'all probably haven't even heard of them. Maybe so, maybe not.
Only 5? Oh, chit son! That's gonna be hard. Stay tuned...

Mariah? really? to test the upper limits of the possible damage her screaming can do?
I'm only teasing, kind of.
Great question though.
Les Preludes - Franz Liszt technically not a song as a song has lyrics.

Norah Jones: “Come Away With Me”
*Def Leppard: “Rock On”
The Rolling Stones: “Sister Morphine”
**Pink Floyd: “Time”
Tom Petty: Wallflowers
*David Essex’s original version is great, but I prefer Def Leppard’s version.
**I could pick about 5 or 6 Pink Floyd songs.
If I made this list in a month it would probably be different, though the top 3 are pretty solid for me. Hard not to have a Dire Straits song on the list as they have several that sound great.

Sister Morphine is a not well-known great song for sure. Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

As far as Dire Straits, I’ve always gone to Shangri-La. But the first album has some real gems for assessing gear also. Heck, any Dire Straits or Mark’s solo stuff. He has some of the highest quality reproductions around. A true pro in every sense of the word.
