Somebody got me listening to Michael Penn's No Myth -- but it was a live version through a Dutch radio program that became to be known as "Two Meter Sessions" (or 2 Meter Sessies). It's fantastic, and I'm wanting to listen to other artists that have played on the program.

I'm now trying to track down CDs from the early years. Seems hard to find unless I'm willing to pay $$$ outside of Europe.

Long long ago, when heavy metal actually sounded like music.

So good. I'm looking for a quality remaster of that!

Amy Grant - Unguarded
Roxette - Look Sharp
Robin Beck - First Time
Laura Branigan - Hold Me/Self Control
Pat Benatar - (insert album here)

Songs from these albums are usually among the first things I test when I put together a new rig combination. I'm trying them at work today with some new Lyr tubes and my Sony D-33 Discman (lineout)

Oldschool Accept (either "Restless and Wild" or "Balls to the Wall") are my heavy metal reference test albums. Love the way those two albums are recorded. Not my favorite metal band by a longshot, but definitely my favorite metal recordings, although Reign in Blood is right on their ass.

On the opposite end, I was listening to the classic "Rising" by Rainbow and it really feels like they rolled off everything after 8khz or so. There just...isn't anything there. I thought it might be a clogged channel or something, but everything else sounded fine. Would explain why that album always sounded somewhat dry...

I love using the HD800 to listen to crappily recorded music.  headbang
