Not sure Ive ever checked a mix against any of them but I took 3 of these albums with me a while ago when I was buying monitors because to my ears they sound amazing. (And so do the tunes!) And because I have OCD I have to make it 10.
Black Crowes, Amorica
"Gone" and "Descender" (Great piano on that cut)
Chris Stills, 100 Year Thing
"If I Were A Mountain" (Can't believe this one fell off the face of the earth. Its a great album)
DMB, Before These Crowded..
"The Stone"
Lyle Lovett, Joshua Judges Ruth
"She's All Ready Made Up Her Mind" and "Church"
Fiona Apple, When The Pawn...
"Limp" ( The drum breakdown is f*cking awesome!)
Jeff Buckley, Grace
"Lilac Wine" (My fav. album of all time as far as material and the mix anit too bad either..nice and wet)
Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
(The whole thing is the perfect exercise in sound design with great songwriting)
The Wallflowers, Bringing down the Horse
"One Headlight" (Best sounding snare that Ive yet to hear and remember a song for it)
Steely Dan, Pretzel Logic
"Rikki, dont lose.."
k.d. lang, Ingenue
(She'll never make a better album than this one)
As much as I love great guitar sounds (ex. 1984, the "black" album, and Operation Mindcrime) There just usually isnt enough space in the heavier stuff....wait...my bad....
AC/DC, Back In Black.
Make it 11.
