Songs to show off components?

I dont use burnt material of any kind. I am one of those bastards that can tell the difference between an original cd and a direct copy made off of that cd to a blank disc using a computer.

You're kidding, right? Just making sure

isn't it when you copy or rip the music from the cd to an mp3 file the sound gets changed alittle? i noticed it it sounded more mono then with the cd more stereo sounding

if you like rap you should check out B.G. album "Checkmate". that has some good imaging... maybe Rick James- "Cold blooded" and "Fire and Desire" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif with him and Tina Marie...now thats a good song

or even Barry White

I thought that a direct copy of the cd is the EXACT same. As far as i know the only time there is a loss of quality is when the music is subject to compression into a more usable format like MP3, M4A, WMA, ect...

i dunno if anyone has mentioned it yet, but i like "Hotel California". i think that song seperates good speakers from bad speakers.

sorry //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

IMO

The Red by Chevelle has some pretty good highs. It gave me a headache in my buddys truck with 6 tweets.

It is. You can copy raw data all day and not change anything, if not we couldn't mass distribute programs.

I like to use alice n chains unplugged. Just the whole cd really, it's pretty good.

Also, intros that I like to use are these:

Thursday - Autobiography of a nation

Coheed and Cambria - Second stage turbine blade

Tool - Crawl Away (probably one of the greatest intros I've heard for all instruments coming in at once, just the power and energy is amazing)

Rage Against the machine - Matrix theme. I know that's not the name of the song but thats what my winamp calls it. Anyways, gives a goodworkout on the mids.

as far as songs go, of course the live performance of Hotel California is a given. Most of the time I Just play intros though, not full songs.

edit: oh almost forgot, Dave Matthews, Tim Reynolds - Grey street live. Love this version. (seeing them in dallas next weekend btw ;P)

Sorry to bring up a semi old thread.But one song that got quite a few wows was Elton John - goodbye yellow brick road.I personally like/use the live version of elton john and billy joel singing it.Just ****ing awesome sounding.Their face to face tour would've been kick *** to see.

I'll use quite a few eagles songs, some chicago songs, and the likes.
