ok, this is old school and may (prolly is) be meaningless to many. Almost anything by CSNY or Phoebe Snow or Grover Washington Jr. Their albums/cds have great production quality. The vocals and harmonies are outstanding and Grover's wailing sounds close to live. And yeah, I've seen all those artists live as well - some several times so that surely makes me biased in their favor. I listen to everything including classical to rap (I play a couple dif saxes too) But when I wanna just enjoy super-clean sound quality, as likely to put those tunes on as anything else for that purpose. :shrug:

I find that when "tuning" an elaborate system properly takes a wide variety of music. When I have just finished an install, I use everything from "quad city dj's" to "mozart" to fine tune a system. It may sound wild but there are few bass cds that can compete with cannon shots in betovens 1812(?) overature. 2 live crew is one of my favorites. crazy old-school basslines.

"Get some crunk in your system" By Lil Jon I used this to tune my amp cause it has a wide range of bass frequencies. I have never been a huge fan of rap until the last year or so, when I said: "screw it, the music is catchy and I can't deny it"

catchy and that's it... rap lacks any form of musical substance... so instead of "screw it, the music is catchy and I can't deny it", i just go with "screw it"

I've come to appreciate all forms of music as well. I like rap and hip-hop for the beats. As for the lyrics, I dont care much about, but I do give it to them. Its kind of like a poetic skill. I can't do it.

I also like Indie and J-Rock.

Your opinion, if it wasnt for rap/hip hop all of us would just have factory stereos in our cars...It is really the only music that coveres all frequencies in music, highs, lows, mids...it all come together on a well rocorded track.

I mostly listen to 80's and old school rap in the car. But I always have a Too Short CD handy.

Drum and bass, jungle, old school techno. I'm talking HEAVY square waveform basslines and deep freeking kicks. Along with all the funky high snares and bleepidy sounds.
::squeels like a japanise schoolgirl from an anime:: :P

Though, my girlfriend has gotten me to come out of my cave a little, and I've been listening to punk rock as well.

I have a little bit of a love for old rap too... None of that "hoes, money, bling bling, shootya a--" crap though.

I LOVE classical music though, its amazing on a good sound system. Everyone should have ONE disk of it at-least.
