What were the first 5 songs you played on your speakers?

[richamor]

Same thing I always play on/with new equipment....A Nautilus half speed master pressing of The Doobie Brothers - The Captain and Me LP in it's entirety.

 

[grillebilly]

The first two were Bill Frisell's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" off East/West and then Wilco's "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I think some Hendrix and Let's Active followed.

This one:

At least since 1980. It's now followed by a Wilson Test CD.

I only remember the first two: Mahler 3rd symphony with the Royal Concertgebow and Riccardo Chailly and Beethoven 5th with Simon Rattle and the Vienna Philharmonic.

1. Jennifer Warnes – Ballad of the Runaway Horse – Rob Wasserman’s “Duets” CD – 16/44.1 FLAC.
2. Boston – Cool The Engines – Third Stage CD – 16/44.1 FLAC.
3. Mark Knopfler – Sailing to Philadelphia (CD) – 24/48 FLAC.
4. Ray Charles & Nora Jones – Here We Go Again – Genius Loves Company EP – 24/88 FLAC.
5. Eagles – Hotel California – The Studio Albums 1972 to 1979 – 24/96 FLAC.

These were the tracks I used to demo my Aerial Acoustics Model 8 and compare them with a pair of Vienna Acoustic Strauss speakers.

I don't remember, though chances are it was Dave Brubecks Jazz Impressions of Japan album or possibly something Dire Straits

The closest to this that I can guess, is from my list of audition music. Music that I use to test the ability of potential new equipment and speakers. For me, music with good vocal, dynamics, and transient response. So:

YES : "Going For The One" - Awaken
Peter Gabriel : "Melt" - Biko
Dire Straights : "Love Over Gold" - Private Investigations
Aaron Copland : "Billy The Kid" - Fanfare For The Common Man
Kate Bush : "Hounds Of Love" - Running Up That Hill

Oh, and pretty much any Billy Cobham.

 

[WaynerN]

Which set of speakers....and who can remember what songs were played?

 

[Roadrash]

What Wayner said.

 

[Billy Oxygen]

I do not remember, it was 1992. If i were to put myself back in that place it would be something similar to this:

1. 'You've Got Another Thing Coming -Judas Priest
2. "Fever" -Judas Priest
3. "November Rain" -Guns & Roses
4. "To Live is to Die" -Metallica
5. "The Eagle Has Landed" -Saxon
