    "A Night In San Francisco"- Dimeola; McLaughlin; DeLucia.

    "Houses of the Holy" - Led Zeppelin

    "Damn Right I Got The Blues" - Buddy Guy

    These are off the top of my head

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    I'm feeling a bit nastolgic so:

    start with Cars - Candy-O
    transition to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' Greatest Hits
    follow that with Queensryche - Empire
    then toss in Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

    See where that leads for that last couple of the night.

    [Edit] Top the night off with Pink Floyd - The Wall

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
