There are only two types of music to listen to and you have listed either. Country and Western. ;-)
Arcade Fire? I think they are horrible.
Philip
I think you need an eye in your name :-)
I’m proudly 0 for 20.
Make that 0 for 40
The live version with the Edmonton Philharmonic is the one I have..
By adding the Drive-by Trucker’s you are sneaking up on it...need some Son Volt, som Cure, some Smashing Pumpkins, some RED and some Jeff Buckely (to name but a few)...;-)
What compression rate do you use?
Do “music lovers” use ipods, mp3s, etc?
Audiophile standards used to be higher.
Durutti Column, “For Belgian Friends.” Sadly, the studio version isn’t available anywhere. I have it on a 20-year old cassette and I only listen to it once a year, in the hope that it will last me a lifetime.
