Hey all,
I'm not into starting threads about nothing, but I've been curious about this topic for a while.
After reading a few threads on LBO regarding music, it's safe to say that there's quite a diverse group of music fans here.
I'm also no audiophile, but I love music (on good sounding stereo equipment), but I don't get into the specifics other than trying to match good speakers with good amps.
Like quite a few folks here, I was already into music when Dark Side of the Moon came out (meaning: I'm no spring chicken), and back then I didn't have a great stereo to play music on - my brother's headphones sounded a million times better than my first speakers. As instructed, I grabbed a pair of headphones, hit the light-switch and got prone. Needless to say, there's quite a bit of goodies within the grooves of Dark Side. It really changed the way I listened to music - I started listening deeper. I also started going backwards in time, too. Early Yes, Procol Harum, Floyd, etc...other bands came along that seemed to beg for headphone play - ELP, King Crimson, Nazareth, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Flash & the Pan, Clutch, etc. - there are lots.
There have been some great songs that, to me, are amazing to listen to on the headphones - I've even find some tremendous moments by bands that I truly dislike (I won't go there - unless asked - most people love the bands that I can't stand).
So, tell me the songs (or albums) that blow you away with headphones on.
